When someone is unable to feel empathy, they look at people as problems. There's an agenda, and now you are causing a friction in the system. 'Empathy' feels like you are being brainwashed into getting over your stuff quickly & focus on the future. 
A future based on their needs.

Look at charismatic leaders. What's the difference between a true, caring leader and a borderline psychopath? Their relationship to empathy.

[Dora Nagy🚢 @TheRealDoraNagy]

So how do you spot the difference? 

Genuine empathy feels safe. You can be vulnerable knowing nothing you say will be used against you. You are not a burden, just a human going through human stuff.

Google Keep totally does the job, and does it well.

It's like, if I just want a good burger, I don't need a Michelin star restaurant.

For those of you who do, sign up to Notion. :)

Google Keep:

I know, I know, there are a million different note-taking apps out there.

If you're going to pick just one, make it Google Keep.

✅ Syncs with G-drive
✅ Simple interface
✅ Built-in sharing
✅ Reminders
✅ Lists, audio, photos + more

It seems like everyone and their dog has a podcast nowadays. Too much noise.

Here are my favorite ones for anyone interested in entrepreneurship or unconventional thinking:

The Joe Rogan Experience
The Tim Ferriss Show
How I Built This
Making Sense
Secret Leaders

Shit is hitting the fan 😟

I’ve worked in tech since 2010, and the whole time people have been publishing articles warning that there was a tech bubble just about to burst.

Now, the long-awaited tech correction might actually be happening.

@chrishlad Someone in my network calls this 'talent scouting'.
Identifying remarkable people early on and supporting them in their journey. It works :)

[Dora Nagy🚢 @TheRealDoraNagy]

@connie_skillpod As long as you don't trigger their self-defensive ego :)

[Dora Nagy🚢 @TheRealDoraNagy]

Nope, don't ask them about their childhood trauma.

@AdamMGrant I loved this email signature I saw the other day:

It's okay to not immediately respond to this email.
The internet and social media have sharply increased the demands on our personal energy.

Be a human and take your time.

[Dora Nagy🚢 @TheRealDoraNagy]

I would also suggest replacing 'friend' with coworker.

Have you ever done the math using average salaries of how much $ it cost the company the meeting that could have been an email?

[Dora Nagy🚢 @TheRealDoraNagy]

Do you know people who always have ideas but never seem to make them happen?

Having an idea gives you a 10% chance to succeed.
40% if you make the decision & commit to it.
65% if you have someone that can keep you accountable.
95% if you have accountability syncs with them.

Ideally, your boss is one of these, but most often that’s unfortunately not the case.

Anyone else I missed?
