I am a boss. Not a girl boss. I am an entrepreneur. Not a female entrepreneur. Maybe we should starting calling people Male Entrepreneurs and Boy Bosses to see how stupid it sounds.

Can we stop judging people’s abilities to do a job based on how old they are? Young people bring creativity and bold ideas. More seasoned players bring wisdom only experience can give you. And in my experience, the best companies are the ones who leverage both.

There are 3 types of content worth reading. 1. Content that amuses me. 2. Content that informs me. 3. Content that inspires me. Personal branding isn't about likes - it's about connection. And it's really hard to connect with people if you don't trigger an emotion in them.

The average loyal employee receives a 2-5% pay rise each year. The average job hopper receives a 10% - 20% salary increase every time they move jobs. Instead of complaining about candidates hopping jobs every 12 months, do a better job of giving them a reason to stay…

If you want to hire great people, ask your receptionist what they were like. Ask the security guard who let them in. Because I don't care how skilled someone is - how right they are for the job. If they don't treat everyone with respect... They're not worth hiring.

Our dress code is "whatever you feel most confident in". So show off your tattoos, your piercings, bring out your heels and your bright pink hair. A big part of doing your best work is being able to be your best self. And that's really hard to do when you're told how to look
