It's particularly incredible to watch a 38-year-old mom (Sara Hall) break the American half marathon record and a 37-year-old mom (Keira D'Amato) break the American marathon record on the same day.

Of course, we don’t always have complete control over ALL our TIME. Young/sick kids, aged parents, work demands … these are all real constraints. Yet, we have 100% control over some portion of our day, and the choices we make related to how we spend that time matters

In 2021, I read/listened-to more than 70 books. I ran more than 2000 miles. I learned to meditate. I learned to sleep better. None of this would have been possible without putting my mind to it and without investing TIME into it.

TIME is your most precious resource. Give yourself ALL the time you need in 2022 - to do the things you love, to rest, learn, contribute and grow. Share what is left with people that matter to you, people that nourish you.Normalize saying NO to everything else.

Ironically, these builders are not new. They have building successful businesses forever. Their stories have not been told since their stories are not as fun as stories of young/white/tech founders

5/ we need tech solutions that will empower and drive bottoms up change. Communities that grow and eat together, global accessible education, equitable work environments ....

@thinkmaya
2/ Biggest areas of obvious opportunity: education, health, food and remote work. Not so obvious: tech in a box, disruptive models for childcare, infra/payments, housing

4/ Don’t ever fight a system from the inside. Focus on your mission, and work hard and you will get to a place where bigger changes become easier. Look at

3/Believe that you can do it. Be so good, they cannot ignore you. Choose problems you can solve today, while always keeping an eye on the big vision.

2/ It is easy to confuse impact with stories of impact ....often told by those with power or in a position where they are heard.

Impact is a result of purpose, focus, action and creativity. Power and position help, but they are not a prerequisite.

True for PMs that can seamlessly move between platform/tech and customer facing product as well.

Platform engineers are your specialists and product engineers are your generalists. Engineers who can do both well are a select few, and are your multipliers. Aggressively hire them, retain them, motivate them.

After creating Digital Meetup, a weekly #tech series, 2019 fellow of Algeria @imiemimouna went to someone who has encouraged her the most -- her @GoDaddy mentor @thinkmaya. They collaborated for Digital Meetup's debut, with Maya presenting on #resilience for businesses. #twimpact
