Todays post 's about the very costly business mistake I made this year trying to make my websites mobile responsive: time, money, energy, everything. But all is even better than before now (isn't that always how these blessings-in-disguise go?!) so keep reading . . .
This is a very exciting weekend . . . PIVOT and I are featured in The New York Times' Workologist column!! Climbing Down the Corporate Ladder Without Alarming Your Boss, by Rob Walker. The timing is fitting since this month also marks my five year anniversary of leaving Google to take my own business full-time, a few years after I realized I had no aspirations of continuing to climb the corporate ladder to ascend to the top ranks of management someday.
Hello friends! I’m back from the safari and it did, in fact, exceed every wildest idea of what it might be like and then some. (All links below point to short iPhone videos that will open in a new window)
My mom and I saw lions mating, giraffes running, cheetahs prowling, wildebeests migrating, elephants and babies crossing, buffalo noshing, baboons commuting, men from the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania fire-making, and our final sendoff: a Mount Kilimanjaro fly-by from the plane.

HAPPY PIVOT LAUNCH DAY!! I can't believe it's here. After three years of preparing for this moment, now the serendipity lottery tickets truly go on sale. What's next? Although I have hypotheses, in other ways I have no clue which of my next pilots will pick up steam. And as I learned from writing this book, that is A-OK.
I can't wait to see what bubbles up next, and for all of you to read the book—or listen if Audible is more your style :). Thank you all for the love and support along the way—I am grateful beyond words.
