Note: I'm probably not going to cover your company's funding announcement. Raising capital shows some level of success and is often a great detail to mention in a larger growth story, but the number alone does nothing for me unless there's a good story or lesson behind it.

I'm so tired of PR folks emailing me to ask if I'll add a random link to their company in some years-old article I didn't even write. I don't have time for that, and it will likely not happen. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk

I think a lot about the day I wore a full-length white (faux) fur coat to the office and was stopped by a woman on the street who just had to tell me how much she loved it. I miss dressing up for her and like Celine Dion, for no one

I wrote about @JoeBiden 's new vaccine agenda for @Inc . For starters at least he has a plan and 100 million doses is great, but it isn't enough for heard immunity and manufacturing isn't the major issue here. In other words, we have a long way to go

I hate when I tell people I work at Inc. and they’re like “oh so you’re a real writer.” Everyone is a real writer, freelance writers push out more and often better content than me, you do not need to work for a publication to be a “real writer.” End rant.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I ask CEOs/founders about how they improve company culture and they say "oh we implemented this new workplace software..." I guarantee whatever your using is probably not making people happier, it's just requiring them to do more work
