Some days you just need to eat ice cream straight from the pint before noon.

I just had some of a morning bun after noon, and let me tell you, there's a difference.

My 6yo was expecting a new student in Kindergarten Mon or Tues. Given the uncertainty, she packed a "YAY!" sweatshirt & would change into it if the student showed up Mon, and would otherwise save it for Tues. Of course, she didn't tell anyone why she wore the shirt. 😂

For 8 years, @kevinrocci has brought the stoke to our students and employees. Excited to see what you do next!
Today marks my last day at @magoosh! What a journey it's been. I'm humbled by the people I worked with and proud of the company we built. As a final act, we hopped on Zoom, danced a little, and answered the only question worth answering: "What makes you stoked?"

Up to 33% of all high school students who plan to attend college never make it to their first day of higher education. This is called "Summer Melt" which hits low-income students hardest and students who are the first in their family to go to college.

Made some poached eggs for the fam and didn't screw them up. Not sure why that feels like an accomplishment but I'll take the win.

Three traits that make a great founder, especially in the early days. 1. Clear, compelling vision 2. Strong bias towards action 3. The right balance of adapting based on feedback + sticking with vision.

Excellent thread on keeping your word while in a power position.
Friday thread on honoring commitments. One of our founders called me up today & asked me what he should do about a situation. It took him a while to raise and all of a sudden today everyone wanted in. He asked me if he could bump up the valuation cap. Read on >>

There's merit to this, and I also wish founders would talk more to avoid bad investors.
Replying to @dunkhippo33
7) In addition, investors talk. A LOT. I’ve seen investors not touch a deal because a founder screwed over 1 investor. It’s just not worth it to do business with ppl who aren’t able to follow through on what they say. Even if they become a unicorn.

I want the confidence of that person who uses speech to text to send emails without any editing.
