It’s been a wild ten years for me. Here’s a bunch of things I’ve learned in the last decade: Things that seem disastrous at the time can happen for a reason. Some of my most important learnings came from failures that I thought were the end of the world in the moment.

WFH will prove things we always knew but, until now, couldn’t prove: 1. You only work 2-3 hours/day. The rest is busy time or socializing. 2. Politics are rampant when you’re physically close but impossible on zoom and slack 3. Your company has 50% too many employees.

A case study will be written on how Microsoft allowed Zoom to eat their lunch. They spent millions on subterfuge trying to paint Slack as an inferior enemy when MSFT Teams actually can't do what Slack does and Teams' real competitor was Zoom. Now Zoom has 300M Daily Users. Lol.

Facebook. Warriors. Bitcoin. Slack. Amazon. Tesla. SPACs. I mean Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.
