@TaraViswanathan Now feels like the right time to tell you I made a 5:15pm reservation for our dinner on Friday.

Just learned my 6-year-old gave her whole class handwritten invitations to a party we’re not having when a parent called to RSVP yes.

Hire a team of people who like to do hard things far more than they like to talk about doing hard things unless all you want to build is a podcast.

Bottoms-up SaaS companies should be required to give a 10% discount every time a rep asks to meet live to ‘understand my needs’ and ‘show me how to get the most out of the product.’

I’ve never met a thought leader or visionary who self-identified in their LinkedIn bio or resume.

More job descriptions should include a version of 'here's why this job might not be for you.' Every company has a style of operating. Every person has a preferred way of operating. The best time to realize there's a mismatch is not 6 months post-hire. Give people enough info upfront to self-select out. It's okay to be opinionated. Example: here's why you might not love our head of talent role at @Rupa_Health:

@TaraViswanathan @philip_ruffini I don’t love the school experience - lots of wasted time and seemingly pointless activities. But it does teach kids how to navigate social situations and be a person in the world. Plus I’m not remotely qualified to be my kid’s primary educator, so school it is.

Me: “I think I’m going to take music lessons.” My 6-year-old: “Really? When you’re this old??”

The gifts from @TaraViswanathan just keep getting better. First it was 50 rubber ducks, now it's @mkscrg to run engineering. Can't wait to see what shows up next week! Also, if your CEO isn't delivering this level of delight, we're hiring.
The day has come...Stoked to welcome @mkscrg to the @Rupa_Health fam as our Head of Engineering! So many reflections on this search, but I’ll leave it at this for now: For a human who could have literally gotten a job anywhere (and had a lot of offers elsewhere), we’re so stoked that you chose us. 🥹💙 Finding the right exec is incredibly difficult. So many things have to line up. It takes an insane amount of time and a lot of luck in timing. But when you meet someone who just fits on every level — people, values, mission, location, intention, etc. — every second of the time spent is worth it. Thrilled to have you here Mike, can’t wait for what’s to come!💥 WELCOME TO RUPA!

One of the most rewarding parts of being a chief of staff is the opportunity to navigate the toughest challenges alongside a strong leader like @TaraViswanathan.
