You say that Ukraine had to fight in order to drive the Russians to the negotiating table. But the Russians were already at the negotiating table at the start of this war. A draft outline of a peace deal was even signed at Istanbul. Then Boris Johnson showed up saying the West wanted to pressure Putin, not make a deal. Ukraine didn’t even need to give up any territory. It just needed to give up its NATO aspirations and respect the Minsk Accords. It was the most easily avoided war ever, but wall-to-wall propaganda egged it on. Of course, you played a role in that, but I don’t blame you too much — you were just a Useful Idiot.
excellent outreach advice @HarryStebbings !!

To all the veterans that have served, we salute you! Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
Did you know that veterans were key to the early growth of the ski industry in the U.S.? More than 60 ski resorts were founded by veterans of the 10th Mtn Division.

The best angels to have in your round are rarely the all star founders.
They are amazing people but don’t have the time, inclination to really help.
Go for the VP Product, Sales, Growth, People. They are in the trenches with the real time knowledge.
These are the gems. 🚀
Who's heading to @money2020 ? Let's meetup and chat how @nylas can power realtime scheduling in your fintech conversational #AI app!

The single biggest mistakes founders make when hiring:
They sell the dream of what the company could be.
Now that is important but...
You also have to sell the reality of where the company is at.
You have to sell what is hard.
You never want to have any surprises.
Thank you @Zoom and Lead Dev Advocate superstar @tommygaessler for hosting me at @TEDxMileHigh! Fun repping @nylas and hearing how @charlo_gw launched his garage door art on @Nextdoor and 1 year later having his art featured on Nextdoor’s IPO, NY Stock exchange debut!
