If you need to reach me, I’m at Powell’s, the largest used and new bookstore in the world, housing approximately one million books! Bye.

4. Dawn of Humanity (#PBS) - human evolution, South African cave exploration; featuring a team of female anthropologists

This card caused so much chaos. Here are more #Uno #HouseRules for your consideration:

1. Swap card allowed - swap hands with another player

2. Stacking action cards is allowed

3. Play out of turn - if you have an exact match, you can play out of turn provided that you play before the player in turn; this will skip all players ahead of you

4. Red Zero card = Draw 10, then every player must shift their hand to the next player

5. Show your hand - ask any player to show you their hand

I had a great chat with my girl Alex Batdorf at Get Sh*t Done on the power of sales & customer success. Here’s a clip.

Retreat Weekend #1. Only focused on 5 things (in no particular order):

1. Prioritize sleep & waking up without an alarm.

2. Go outside (walk)

3. Practice Mindfulness/Meditation , Prayer or Yoga (reconnecting to the present)

4. Say “no” to things you really don’t want to do (or make a list of things to say yes to). Or perform a calendar audit …. But only if you feel like it.

5. Journal (helpful for “brain dumps” & self reflection)

I often provide mentorship & advisory support to emerging #founders & #startup teams. When pitching solutions, it’s common to be met with a word salad of emerging tech used (#AI, #web3, #blockchain etc)

I’d love to see a culture shift in tech … more focus on outcomes, less centering of tools. You can build a house with a screwdriver, but in some cases, a screwdriver may not be the best tool for the job. I’d like to see more people explain why the tools selected are the best for the job.
