We heard a guy on the street say “next we’re meeting with the CEO”

My 6yo son turns to me: “that guy is going to meet with you mom!”

Me (smiling): “honey there are a lot of other CEOs out there”

Him: “Are they all moms like you?”

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@alexisohanian Not just paid but if you don't engage you get kicked out and have to rejoin.

[Margot Schmorak @schmorak]

@gkamstra @lolitataub Yes.

@bznotes They gave away a lot of their company for that investment!

@RomeenSheth it sucks because the companies who report ARR more conservatively get dinged.

[Margot Schmorak @schmorak]

@RomeenSheth This is so cool

@bznotes This guy is so awful 😢

[Margot Schmorak @schmorak]

@ericbahn This is a great perspective and YES.

[Margot Schmorak @schmorak]

@marcrandolph @RomeenSheth @netflix I wish more CEOs would talk about this - women and men. Protecting and prioritizing one’s closest relationships (partner and kids) makes everything more worth it. Thanks to you both.

@nickpiscotty This is how I met my husband, so yes. 😂 also thanks for the feature…

@mtgreenee Man that sucks. I was attacked and screamed at in 2018 by an insane woman named Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had no respect for the privacy of me as an 18 year old school shooting survivor or my staff.
She was self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.

[Margot Schmorak @schmorak]

@RomeenSheth @Compound Yup. I remind myself of this all the time.

5 actions and 5 mistakes is always superior to doing 1 correct action.

In the former, you’ve learned 5x compared the latter. So the next action is much more likely to be correct. Unless you’re not paying attention to signals.
