    "Why build another company?" they ask. I close my eyes and answer what's in my heart. "What better way to spend your one wild and precious life than in solving - problems, frictions, miseries? Urgent, needed, worthy. That's my faith. My art. My calling."

  2. Sunday, we're launching weekly Parent Like a Pro series. We're making best practices of busy parents available to all. Actionable tools to make parenting collaborative, lighter, fun✨ If you're a parent, would love if you'd sign up/ tell a couple friends

  3. Whew. It's been a while since I've been in the cadence of building and shipping out in the world for all to see. It's surprising how nerve-wracking it gets to be. So I'm just ripping off the band-aid on one small but important piece.

  4. Every time I pass a parent on the street with a really young kid I have an overwhelming desire give them a high five and say “you’re doing an awesome job”. 👏🏽💪🏽👊🏽

    Everyone says what gets measured, gets managed. I’d like to add: What gets focus, gets fixed.

    👇🏽 Probably why my chances of being a politician are exactly nil. 😂

    Beyond all the obvious reasons of losing someone that inspired greatness and relentless work ethic, this is why this news has broken my heart. I know what the love of looks like and this, well, 💔

    Have you blocked Election Day as “no meetings” for your team to ensure everyone has chance to vote or volunteer? How abt going to your calendar and picking some hours in October for phone banking? You can do it via text! Protect the time now to protect democracy later.

    This weekend has been heavy beyond words. A chance to remember how impactful a life’s work can be and yet, we mourn all they had left to do.

    In shock. Yet another reminder his fragile life is. Praying his girls weren’t on there, though what a tragic age to lose your father. Source: Kobe among dead in helicopter crash

    “I love my children and I think about them 24 hours a day. What I realize now is that, like a lot of working executives and working moms, I’m spending a significant amount of my time doing research and organizing.” Amen. Glad she could tell her side.

    What a gift it is to be a teacher, a caregiver, a nurse. Knowing that you get paid a fraction of your value and yet giving it your all, knowing how you shape and change the lives of those you serve, and letting that be enough.

    We're in a moment right now where we all get a chance to support the changes we need to see - you want to help close the gender wage gap? Then help me with the 20+ hours/week I spend on these home responsibilities. Otherwise, get out of the way as I work to close it myself.

    Not a surprise that I salute the woman that had the foresight (and frankly, patience), to so carefully detail what so many of us wish we could. Though my years at Poppy the best family/caregiver relationships were with those with the clearest expectations and communication.

    So please. Take a minute and dig beyond the outrage of both sides and use this to understand this deeply important societal change happening right in front of us. This is what the work of a home looks like. It comes (as it should), at a price.

    Unpaid labor of largely women is what has truly made world go round, forever. Now, as we're in positions to actually recognize weight and value of this labor, we have ultimate final insult - ridicule for trying to create precision around what rest of us carry as invisible load.

    Read the list. Many might find it comical in the exactness. I assure you, for any of us actually doing these jobs, day in and day out (working parents, fulltime parents, paid caregivers) we don't find it funny. We find it gruelling and thankless and necessary.

    If you're a parent, want to someday be a parent, or simply know a parent, please read this 👇🏽 For too long, the disappearance of the traditional "wife" role has gone unnoticed because we, wives now also work full-time have sucked it up and also kept traditional responsibilities.

    As always, After Hours trio continues to role model what thoughtful engagement and dialogue looks like w/ broad audience and thorny topics, esp in this day/age of social media. Doesn’t matter your background, this is one podcast all should listen to.
