    Still can't quite believe this is happening. And it's thanks to the many people I have worked with and learned from, more than any of you know. And the folks I interviewed and excerpted who generously shared wisdom. This book was not a 1 person project - thank you is not enough.

    @darth I told her to "stay" for the pic, but Cookie thought I had a treat and rolled over.

    Thanks @tferriss. Didn't predict this in my life path nor did I predict how much you and I would talk about literature and...John Wick 😁. Thank you for your tremendous energy, curiosity and the wide ranging *fun* of our conversation.

    California has defeated me. With no irony, I started the day with a kombucha drink and apple cider vinegar pill. Just now, I went to Barry's Bootcamp and then bought some kind of wellness juice. What the hell?! At least I ate a bagel and read the NY Times. Still, unrecognizable.

    Wish there was a manual for running a company? @chughesjohnson (long-time COO of Stripe) just wrote one, and it's incredible. It's called "Scaling People", and it's coming out Tuesday. You should get it. I sat down with Claire to dig into her new book. Here's a peek:

    I once asked my grandmother, born in 1910 and alive until 2010, if she voted. She said "Oh yes, honey." I asked how she decided which candidate got her vote. She said, "I asked your grandfather."...Beat.... "And then I voted for the other candidate." I think about this a lot.
