I've started calling it Work Life Ambition.
The idea that you can be ambitious in both your work and your personal life.
They can support and augment each other, rather than one coming at the expense of the other.
We want to build quality. I donโt believe it comes from endless death march. So people should have some time off as well.
I donโt think it has slowed us down, probably the opposite (you can look at the changelog the past 5years). Good tech, hiring well, small teams and not changing the direction every 5mins also helps.
Remote advantage is that also focuses people on the output, not hanging at the office late or going to motions that donโt produce much.
@thesamparr With that said, itโs also possible to be successful driven by curiosity and passion!
(@davekashen describes it as dirty fuel vs clean fuel.)
Also shoutout to @KellyOlynyk, who made the meetup possible in the first place, and Lindy Waters III who came over to chat. Grateful to all of them as well as the @chicagobulls organization for making my sonโs dreams come true (this happened in Chicago).
Last November my son got a chance to stick around after a game for his 10th birthday (thanks @David_Gardner), and @JulianChampagn2 made a point to come over for a picture. Iโm so glad to see him earn this opportunity. Go @spurs!

"I thought it was over. I ain't gonna lie to you. Getting waived with no warning, no nothing, explanation or anything, it was tough. Big, big shout out to the San Antonio Spurs taking an opportunity to a kid from Brooklyn"
