6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines. Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought. Always invest in people.

We asked our employees where they want to work: 7% want to go to the office full time 31% want an office-remote hybrid 62% want to work only from home So I told them: sounds great. Do whatever you want. As a CEO, what do I care? If you get your work done, that's all that matters

We are incredibly honored to receive a 2022 CatalystInc Award, recognizing companies whose initiatives have proven powerful in making change & advancing women in the workplace. #CatalystAwards2022 ow.ly/4af150IlQEK

A powerful message from ⁦Yelp⁩ CEO. fastcompany.com/90749901/yelp-…

I just found out the person killed in the Laguna Woods shooting yesterday was my primary care physician, Dr. John Cheng. Absolute hero. He attacked the gunman and helped save so many in that church. I just wanted his name to be known. He will be missed.

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes. You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion. Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.
