Laid off after 1.5 years as Chief of Staff at the LF. Grateful for the growth, proud of the impact. Taking a beat to reset—and open to what’s next. If you need a strategic partner to help drive vision into action, let’s connect. #OpenToWork #ChiefOfStaff

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

So proud of my son Hayden and his dance performance at Durham School of the Arts. He’s an arts kid doing dance, violin, guitar, voice, and visual arts. Our family has always valued and loved the arts. So glad he is carrying on the tradition.

Do not give your heart to anything else
But to the love of those who are clear joy,
Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
For there are hopes: they are real, they exist –
Do not go in the direction of darkness –
I tell you: suns exist.
~ Rumi
