Same! It genuinely feels like a Scrooge McDuck moment for regular people 🤣

100% go for the villa (or just do an elopement package somewhere nice). We threw ours together spontaneously (deployments suck), and did a DIY wedding for about 25 folks, but we both wish we’d just eloped 🤷‍♀️

Psyched about this one!

🎉 just switching my websites over to Ghost, so can’t wait for this!!

Startup from Gimlet and Maintenance Phase

YES!! It’s absolutely my least favorite cold outreach approach I’ve ever seen and it’s making me 🤬

Shopping for software feels like Tinder:

🔥 Attractive features, terrible intentions.
😬 Respectful boundaries, zero chemistry.

Why is it always one or the other?

I just want tools that 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 without mining my life like a crypto farm.

Is that too much to ask?

Yes!! I was just watching a video of an AI guy who did a test on a bunch of different models with a business strategy question. The model that did the best was… Codex?!?!? 🤦‍♀️ Not sure how those of us who don’t spend every day doing AI research are supposed to figure that one out!

It’s so weird trying to describe to people what it’s really like to live in a remote place… like, there’s legitimately a poster up in the post office/general store here, letting folks know that someone found a lost sheep 🐑

Ooh… I didn’t know she had a new show out… so, apparently my entire podcast feed is just gonna be Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbs shows 🤣 I’m not mad about it…

And then… by lunch, already regretting my decision because now it’s too hot 🤦‍♀️

Can’t wait for the launch!!🚀

Today, I lost the competition I have with myself every fall to see how long I can go before I’m forced to turn on the heat. 🥶

Can you store the renewal date and/or notification date as a custom field in a different system (like your ESP), and then use that to trigger the reminder?

Does completely forgetting my friends exist for 6 months and then finally reaching out to make sure they’re still there (and don’t suddenly hate me) and then realizing that they did the exact same thing count as a “favorite way”? 🤣

Just realized the smoke I’m seeing here in NW Colorado is that same smoke!! 🤯

Yep, for sure!

Stay safe! It’s been SUCH a rough wildfire year!

👋 I'm hiring a part-time Chief of Staff in Seattle to help with all three of my companies: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you know someone who's a potentially good match, referrals are greatly appreciated. Details are in the doc 🤗

What are you gonna do with all of it? Put it in a room and swim around in it like Scrooge McDuck? 😁

Same! Otherwise, I just end up tuning it out 🤷‍♀️

So…more protests (next one I’ve heard about is 4/19). And, while, yep, midterms is the next major election cycle, the most immediate goal is to get congress to actually check some of the executive overreach. They have the power… they’ve just ceded it to the executive branch. They can take it back.

North Carolinians, check to see if your vote for Riggs was thrown out. You have 2 weeks to correct it!

Sometimes… I feel like it IS more connective than text, but also harder as the receiver. So I end up saving them until I know I have time to listen and respond. Vs text where I read immediately

@shawnbuttner.com - super interested to hear more about how you measure/quantify those (particularly happiness!)
