After HOURS on phone, I'm posting to express deeply grave concerns about @Google's (@madebygoogle) inability to manage unauthorized users who have ADMIN access to your #GoogleHome including security cameras, thermostats, and @googlefiber. Insane lack of support and secops.🤯@FTC

If anyone wants proof that health tech is not for the faint of heart or quick path to success, I give you Noom. Started *17 years ago* with the first product launch in 2008.

Great piece. Behave today with the urgency you would if you were running out of cash. I have seen that extra motor. It does exist. And Ravi is 💯 right - the extra cash many companies have does us a disservice. It causes us to relax. Big mistake. xitter.cf/guptark22/status/16382…
Don't let a long runway pull your company to mediocrity. High standards are a gift you give your team. rkg.blog/water.php
Thanks for having me on your show @lissijean and being a thoughtful coach and mentor to so many product managers. #product
In this episode, I talk to @colin, the CPO of @firstdollarinc, about how he approaches #prodmgmt in complicated and highly regulated products, as well as leading product in all stages from startup to enterprise. Listen now!

As a customer of our own product, @firstdollarinc's new integrated and embeddable #investing experience for #HSAs is incredibly simple to use. Shout out to our partners @DriveWealth and @MorningstarInc. 🙌 firstdollar.com/blog/first-d…

Some background: I took a deep dive (note: sponsored) alongside the @firstdollarinc team to understand:
• The current state of health benefits; and
• First Dollar's value prop for third party administrators, health plans, and how things are improving for the end consumer.
Looking back, my cold @LinkedIn connection inbounds consisted of:
1. Outsourcing firms of all types
2. Exec/candidate recruiters
3. Startup advisors with no ops experience
4. Shady investment funds
5. Quality sales/biz dev connections that I actually value
Love this thoughtful post by @msuster on #valuations forth and #startup excitement. While 0-1 is always hard, the recipe to sustain is simple: build value, manage your economics, and stay lean. You'll come out stronger. 💪 bothsidesofthetable.com/pray…

Great piece by @firstdollarinc on what it would look like if @Apple took on healthcare spend and benefits — not a bad idea… firstdollar.com//blog/heres-…
Excited to see @CityofGalveston thriving. Grew up spending weekends along the strand, sometimes sleeping in our cars to surf in the am. Hotel Lucine includes a restoration of Galveston's history and offers a boutique, beach-side experience w/ amazing food. hotellucine.com

Increasing health savings account enrollment is good for everyone...so why isn't everyone signing up?

Now is a great time for @austintexasgov to review our building codes. 1) why do we 'penalize' artificial turf as impervious coverage? 2) why are we not rewarding water capture systems? I'm all for natural xeriscaping but it's not conductive to using your yard for play/kids.
