I've been organizing the Product team at around outcomes for over a year. It's been great but one thing that doesn't get talked about enough... It is *difficult* to identify & create great product outcomes for teams to own! Here are 3 lessons I've learned. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿงต

Highly recommend using "sniper links" while sharing files - most collab tools today support this While sharing a file: 1. In Notion - share exact BLOCK - Select text -> "copy link to block" 2. In Sheets - share exact cell range - Select range -> "get link to this range"

I had no interest in signing up and paying for Twitter Blueโ€ฆ but now I kind of want to do it so I can feel alive for a few moments while I fire off parody Elon tweets before getting banned. This man is a marketing genius.

I live downtown and Iโ€™m supportive of most of the Halloween silliness in #SalemMA but 30 minutes of fireworks on a Monday night is excessive. My kids have been woken up. My dogs are terrified. And this could have ended ~15 minutes ago?
