Think twice about opportunities that offer more status but less freedom. Winning accolades and influence is rarely worth it if you lose the ability to control your time and express your voice. Happiness hinges on maintaining freedom. Success is gaining degrees of freedom.

"Outcomes over outputs" is an incredibly useful mantra to uplevel organizations currently only focused on building without regard to impact. However, it's also not the be-all and end-all: beyond that "build trap", there lay many other traps. #prodmgmt

I’ve been watching #Data20 from home. Picture is my brilliant 14 year-old cousin who is a #datarockstar and #innovator in training 😉. These are the moments when I feel most humbled by the opportunity to do the work I do. 🙏🏾 #BlackLivesMatter #RepresentationMatters

Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on.
