i like it here.









storyteller, mentor, visual learner, beta lover, realistic optimist. boston is home. new york is on the radar. prefer to live in lowercase. a typical day: music. morning run along the river. yoga shapes on an orange mat. green tea. sometimes chai. hot shower. work for a vc firm. send voice notes. rarely listen to voice mail. there's a difference. stay up too late. wake up too early. most days i like it here. liking is a choice. connect dots. keep moving.

repeating easy tasks again and again gets you not very far. attacking only steep cliffs where no progress is made isn’t particularly effective either. no, the best path is an endless series of difficult (but achievable) hills.

the craft of your career comes in picking the right hills. hills just challenging enough that you can barely make it over. a series of hills becomes a mountain, and a series of mountains is a career.

career wisdom in hill format.
