Today, I interviewed a Ukrainian engineer.
He wanted to meet even though he can hear shelling ~20km away. His wife was in the living room and two kids (12&14) upstairs.
He has a spot at Zonos when he is ready. I can’t imagine how the Ukrainians can process any of this.

Teens everywhere are underestimated and underchallenged.
I’m opening up early-access to Factor Builders, the first online program from my new startup. We’re helping driven teens go from passion to project in 6 weeks.
Basically, it’s the program I wish I had growing up.

#5: At $1B in ARR, 40% of its new bookings came from >existing< customers.
Let that sink in. Let how important upsell, retention, and high NRR is really sink in.
Without that 40% boost, RingCentral would be a shadow of what it is.

A company can be great at any size.
This is not true if size is the top priority.

will have their building up in the fall. is taking part of the building too. Hopefully in ~18 months we go into the next building going up.
The land was perfect because it has been undeveloped and it's smack in the middle of town. The views are incredible.

You need to see what is going up at tech ridge (the old airport on the bluff) and I should give you the tour. There are some solid tech companies here.

Great meeting for our #StGeorge Chapter. So much wisdom from Founder : "we are in a disruptive, chaotic time of evolution" ... "don't think things will go back to normal"

Really important read. We are one of the few states begging more people to get tested. Even if your symptoms are mild please get tested (and if your healthcare provider still says you need all 3 symptoms to get tested, remind them testing requirements have changed). twitter.com/sltrib/status/…
