“Something’s gotta change.” Yes, it does.
I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.
Couldn't agree more.
Also applies to work relationships with some modifications.
Our company's role isn't to make us happy. It's to provide the right processes, practices, & people to help you feel safe, seen, supported, and heard and create an environment for mutual growth.
My 7 yo attends public school in Austin, Texas. Like all elementary schools, they practice “lock down” drills, aka active shooter drills. I grew up with Columbine. It’s still so hard to process that my baby must be taught to hide in a place where she should feel safe.
The message to kids on why we do this: “You make good choices and are kind to others. Unfortunately, not everyone is the same as you. We want to practice so that when something happens, we know what to do to stay safe.” The “why” put in words so kids understand is heartbreaking.
Saw this in an article about Twitter’s layoffs. Unfortunately, it’s a sad truth at a lot of orgs. My People, people, if you work for a company with this mindset, do yourself a favor and find a place where People is a valued, strategic function with decision power.
When people ask how I work with my spouse...we've learned - the hard way - that boundaries are key to staying sane. @jaybsauceda

Good thing @omairdotcom can be pretty persuasive! Almost one year later, and I’m still happy with the decision to sell to @cartdotcom. 🚀

Common sense gun laws. We need rational human beings to come together on this.
One of my favorite things about vacation time is uninterrupted reading time. Reading “Lifespan” from David Sinclair - a fascinating read that challenges our expectations around average human lifespans. Here are a few of my favorite excerpts that make you think:
I love to find energy and perspective around how to build exceptional cultures and workplaces in unlikely sources. I’m this case; a book about the science and morale argument for how we increase our average human lifespan. Read it if you haven’t!
Also, yes, this is the kind of dense shit I love to read on vacation, in between my audiobook renditions of Harry Potter which @jaybsauceda loves. 😂
