@jzux When I tell a new therapist my back story, sometimes they’ll cry. Then they’ll ask me HOW did you make it? Really aggressively. And kinda demand to know every detail of healing I did and they write furious notes like I’m a one person test group. Like haha sorry ?????

People were offended, and have been offended by our cause to 'unfck the design industry'. Did you know that staff turnover in design is 30% while the national average is 8.7%? There is a culture problem and it begins with misalignment. Technology and @BrieftApp will solve it.

I wrote a tweet earlier, that is better summarized. When capital is drip fed at random over 2 years, w/ cheque sizes 1/5 the size of male founders, you get Fem founders who can't hire, can't plan and can't scale to the speed of their male counterparts. The cycle then perpetuates.
