How podcasting looked nine years ago. 🙃 Did we really have three people around one @BlueMicrophones Snowball? We interviewed Dan Scanlan, drummer from sludge metal band Zoroaster who opened for @mastodonmusic. We talked about Spotify paying his band $26 that year. 🖤

The ability to participate in our democracy shouldn’t be determined by your state of residence. With Republican state legislatures rolling back the clock on voting rights, it’s critical Congress pass #HR1 & #HR4 to ensure equal access to the ballot box. ajc.com/politics/stacey-abra…

Stop glamorizing “the grind” and start glamorizing getting 7+ hours of sleep at night, having healthy relationships, feeling safe at work, taking sick days, being paid a living wage, working hard when you’re at work, boundaries, and self-caring your way to success.

Dont know the TAM, but if startup hopefuls are running out of things to disrupt, can I suggest sewing pattern industry? Never thought I’d need an engineering degree to sew a dog shirt.

and yes I just accidentally exposed myself as a next level crazy dog lady. It’s an alter ego. I call her Sharon and she also likes the TJ Maxx clearance aisle and plays Candy Crush

Me, whose star wars literacy is solely based on 30 years of pop culture, watching a mandorian episode: “Is that a baby R2D2?” “Is that a baby JarJar Binx?” “Is that a baby wookie?”

Why is no one talking about @Mailchimp 's Content Studio??? The creative assistant is just 🤯, not to get started about the whole content & design of the product

Watching the news with my family. Selfish, unhinged leadership has put our democracy at risk. It’s shameful. How do I explain what’s happening to my boys?

Normalize asking people what they’re eating for New Year’s Eve instead of asking what they’re doing for New Year’s Eve. 🥂

But "product-market fit" makes us do really dumb things, like: A) Wait to do marketing until product is a "fit" B) Chase a nebulous gut feel from investors C) Look for data to fit a narrative and, perhaps worst, D) Largely ignore product after achieving the mythical "fit"

Dear startup founders & product builders, The whole idea of "product-market fit," i.e. that there's some magical, universal, knowable tipping point for when you should stop improving your product and start marketing it, is dumb.🤪 A thread.
