2/6. What if this project was about getting an intern up to speed, or team bonding? Not everything has the obvious goals. Allow “impact” to have different shapes than you can imagine.

Life is balance. It’s okay to have fun once in a while, particularly because this will recharge your batteries and make it easier to give back.

4/6. If you have problems with corporations, or Facebook specifically, talk about that instead. It’s a worthwhile conversation. Don’t make a huge, ill-defined bus to throw everyone under, just to make yourself feel better for a second.

Hope no friends/friendships are lost! Disagreements feel important, and learning how to channel them even more so.
