I’m Olai. I’ve spent my career moving between building systems as an engineer and curating visual stories as a creative director. Now I’m in NYC w/ SF roots building VAULT to help luxury brands forecast demand, personalize styling, + optimize inventory through taste intelligence.

There is a Slack community with over 53,000 VPs, CMOs, agency owners and freelancers where companies post remote marketing jobs directly before they ever hit a job board.

Members are manually vetted. (My application is still in review though)

If you book a hotel for $200, you should pay $200.

Today, we shut down hotel junk fees and surprise credit card holds. The price you see is the price you pay.

My take is that there are plenty of regular fine babes who don’t do this, but you guys always choose to go for the “high-class” ones with certain standards then come to complain to us. Why is that?

As a CEO, I’ve sat in countless interviews and one thing that gives us pause with brilliant candidates is if there’s too much GAP in their CVs.

What does a gap tell us about the candidate?

1. A gap doesn’t automatically mean incompetence but it does trigger uncertainty.

Remo Day is a tribute to our culture, heritage, and shared history, firmly anchored in unity.

It’s a celebration of who we are, where we come from, and the bond that keeps Remo standing strong as one.

You people will blow up a place that didn’t even expect that kind of influx and be shocked that their 2 employees don’t know how to handle going from 15 customers to over 100 a day. Please man

This presenter on Venezuelan state TV has been live almost continuously for like 20 hours at this point.

Keeping Venezuelans calmly informed and ensuring that fake news doesn't lead to chaos and regime change. Unsung heroes of times like this.

[Douglas Kendyson @KendysonD]

Part of the reason we could bootstrap for such a long time at Selar is because we won the TEF grant in 2018. I’m very frugal so that $5k lasted till about December 2020. There are not a lot of accessible grants for African businesses like TEF, So apply!
