Some personal news. I'm taking a sabbatical!
Travel, rest, recharge, binge watch some shows, binge read some books (is that a thing?). If you want to meet for coffee, I no longer have an excuse!
Last official act of the day setting my OOO. Mixed but good feelings....

Too true. This was me until a few months ago until I realized that you only live once. Take risks, be humble and willing to learn. You'll never regret it. As the saying goes, every scar is an interesting story 😀
If you're used to climbing the ladder for a long time and worried about title and number of reports you may be better off moving to another large company.

Took a long run today with no electronics (no phone, smartwatch or headphones). Just the sun, wind and thoughts. Deeply relaxing, the best feeling in a long time. The pandemic has made the world more lonely, and yet, we rarely have time with our thoughts. Do it! You won't regret!

I know the early vote still needs to get counted in WI, PA, MI. I get that. Still feel a deep sense of sadness and how many million voted for a party that repudiates science, fairness and empathy. That'll remain a stain on our republic for a long time.

Most PMs aren't really very good. There's no degree for PM and limited ways to learn the 'PM craft'. Successful PMs are more likely than not just lucky.
What's something you believe about product management that very few people agree with you on?
