A highlight of my Korea trip was this tour guide who's heard enough foreigners say, "I wish I could live here," and decided to design a "real talk" tour about the darker, complicated underbelly – e.g. education system, real estate crisis, plastic surgery culture etc. Gotta respect the hater energy 😂
It was a fancy “rice paper” appetizer from Mugunghwa, on top of the Lotte Hotel!
On sensitivity and pain, from "The Wisdom of Insecurity" by Alan Watts
📣 Last Call! For the FREE workshop on Wednesday! *Everyone* is struggling with hiring right now – I'll explain the non-obvious causes, and how you can build a solution. (Hint: it's not just throwing money at the problem) Info + sign up:
in my DMs: "I really want to attend Startup Recruiting Bootcamp (@startupbootcmp) but my company won't approve it!" me: "Oh, that's a bummer, did they say why?" "Apparently we've already spent $100K on recruiter agency fees this year" me: "…Bootcamp… is… $5K…"

i will never be able to separate this and “Total Landscaping” in my head
Just wrapped up the summer cohort Startup Recruiting Bootcamp, and couldn’t be prouder of these newly-confident founders, hiring managers, and recruiters! 🌟 (Grab your slot in the fall cohort: )
3 hours (and counting) waiting at the vet b/c this delicate little princess reacts to the tiniest of impurities in her tummy by throwing up for days 🤮😿
i agreed to babysit my sister's highly anxious, traumatized kitten for the summer, joking that i'd heal/convert Charli into a cuddling cat by the end of it. at first she barely liked being touched, but after much effort+patience she is now so affectionate and loving I DID IT
those who’ve attended Startup Recruiting Bootcamp know how worked up i get about bad hiring……. and so does my Fitbit
me when disillusioned, weary employees of *very* hyped up startups confide in me what the company's internal workings / its leaders are actually like
Just finished Week 1 of Startup Recruiting Bootcamp, and asked the participants to describe it in 3 words. The answers came flooding in 🤩 @startupbootcmp
