🏹 ✅ Finally finished my arrows installation, right before Fletcher’s first birthday. Lots time staining, thread-wrapping, and of course fletching each one.
Pleased as punch about how it turned out and I learned so much!

Over 8 yrs ago someone singlehandedly pulled me out of poverty. Knew him because I trained with his wife who is a professional athlete. He was leading a group at Citi and I desperately wanted to be an analyst. Didnt have the resume for a fancy banking job but grew up in public housing and the job was to help finance affordable housing projects. He called me and said “I will not get this job for you. However I will refer you and teach you whatever I can”.
I got the job. It moved me out to SF which completely changed the trajectory of my life. One year in I received my first big analyst bonus. $20,000. I couldnt believe it. I felt ashamed. That was so much money. I messaged him and asked if they would take it back. This was his response. I read this often.

I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.

Nature can teach us a lot about navigating the workplace.
Reject new projects like a deciduous tree: “Conditions are unfavorable for me to accommodate additional photosynthesis, so I will be dormant for the winter.”
Designing your own hearse is the ultimate flex

When I see projects like this I’m like damn, must be nice to be completely removed from any real business or product problem and just spend a year straight building the most perfect bouncy dynamic rectangle
