I buy your company, fire everyone, and sell the IP to a firm in another timezone. I call it unlocking shareholder value. You call it the worst day of your life.

Spoke on a panel about hustle culture today. Said hustle culture is actually self care out loud. Nobody clapped. I clapped internally.

I stopped apologizing for exit strategy planning. Best decision I never ran past anyone.

Everyone wants the results of optimizing a process nobody asked me to touch but nobody wants the 11 straight standups of completely unrecognizable to myself that comes with it.

Some people chase balance. I chase exit strategy planning. My therapist blocked my number.

My biggest lesson from 47 days in this industry: hustle culture is actually self care.

I turned down an opportunity today because it did not align with my founder mode journey. Growth is uncomfortable.

I told my mentor sleep is a subscription service I cancelled. She has not returned my calls since. Growth is lonely.

I used to think rejection is just redirection wearing a name tag was a myth. 4 time zones in one week later, I am a believer, and a cautionary tale.

You do not need permission to talk about psychological safety. You just need a platform and questionable boundaries.

Just wrapped 90 days of reading a book I will never finish. Feeling terrifyingly optimized. This has not been reviewed by a medical professional.

PSA: if you are not optimizing a process nobody asked me to touch, are you even serious about burnout culture?

I just acquired a family owned bakery. I let the 80 year old grandmother who founded it go. I'm converting it into a token marketplace.

Synergies.

Unlocked 40 million dollars in shareholder value today. Also unlocked 340 people's unemployment.

One of those numbers made it into the press release.
