31 years ago on Feb 10, I landed in the US with $500, scared, and deeply fascinated with America. I had a dream to some day provide for me and my mom.
This country changed my life in ways I could never have imagined. Thanks to all who helped this clueless kid along the way ❤️🙏

30 years ago today, I came to America so that eventually my mom and I would be able to live a comfortable life. Looking back, I vividly remember every minute of that day. So many people to thank. I am so deeply grateful to this country for the opportunity.

My Journey:
My 20’s: Intimidated that I don’t know much
My 30’s: Arrogant that I know it all
My 40’s: Realization that I have more to learn
My 50’s: Comfort that I will never know it all
Moral: Keep learning. Focus on progress. Keep ego in check. Enjoy the ride!

If you pride yourself on being an innovative software company, tell your story through your product demos and not Powerpoint slides. The best conversations I’ve had with tech execs is when they bust out a 3 min demo, not a 45 slide deck to explain what they do! Just sayin’!

Been at Cisco for 7 months and today was my best day yet. Why? I had the perfect balance of the types of meetings that energize me. Makes me think, I should curate my day with the right types of interactions that infuse creativity instead of just optimizing for productivity.

It’s tempting to want to sound smart by saying complex things.
But sounding smart doesn’t contribute to human progress. Making others smart does. Others get smart when you explain complex concepts simply.
Great leaders are simplifiers! Simplify if you want to progress society.

Most of us are more lucky than we are good. Doesn’t mean we aren’t good at what we do. But remember, many are good, but far fewer are lucky. Access to opportunities and a platform is rare. Forgetting that can take away the grounding that’s essential to deal with success.

If you happen to feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or are feeling low due to a life event, know that there is no shame in asking for help.
In fact, asking for help is a sign of humility and bravery because you didn’t let ego get in the way and showed courage to seek help.

Gaining consensus is different from seeking input. Get lots of varied inputs. Curiously listen. Then be decisive. Don’t seek consensus.
The habit of seeking unanimous consensus as the norm sets an unhealthy precedent. Let many people weigh in but only let very few people decide.

In SaaS, being customer-centric doesn’t mean jumping on every feature request of every customer. In fact, you would do your collective “customers” a definite disservice with this approach. Instead, it means you only build features that could bring delight to millions of users

When competitors copy you, be flattered for a second, but then, keep chipping away at innovating. Stay paranoid about your product. Be obsessed about your customer’s experience. Tell your customers you are hungry for their business. Mean it. Eventually, originality gets valued

Exciting news: Our new SSO is in general availability to US & international customers on MFA, Access, and Beyond (non-FedRAMP) editions! Cloud-based and Duo-hosted, it also includes Duo Central, a single location for users to securely access apps and more.

The shortest path to success is to learn early in life that there are no short-cuts to success. Do the time to get good. Success follows.

3 things to avoid, because they tend creep up on you:
1) Arrogance: Thinking you are better than you actually are
2) Loss of Creativity: The subconscious acceptance of lack of originality
3) Complacency: The smart justifications for why you can’t move fast

Why wouldn’t you go the opposite route and make it as easy to cross share links/promote for competitive platforms? The most non-restrictive platform would likely be more appealing to users right? Make it a feature!

Beauty about
