Sure, my point is more in retrospect. Would lack of image training solve that problem?

Help me if I'm wrong: you could choose to "shut it off" by not training with it to begin with, right?
I know we're past that point.

So, question the folks out there building/running their own businesses: when did it feel real to you? When could you say without doubt? With 100% conviction? Without any qualification?
Interested to hear everyone's stories.

Totally understood the point of the response.
I thought we were better off using that chaos to illustrate our pitch forward from there. But, hey, I didn't get my way. Shit happens!

Interesting point. Big fan of @asmartbear.com.
In our industry, reminded me of a draft slide I once built showing interactions between players in reinsurance market. Was chaos.
CEO said "this sucks too messy" and I said "this is exactly what happens"

Awesome thread. Thank you for posting.
Follower of several folks from NYT graphics dept and think they consistently crush. For quite a while now.

I don't see anyone in our spaces discussing:
1. Re/insurance portfolio mgmt. techniques
2. Navigating emotional/mental ups/downs
3. Assessing burn out, motivation, etc.
4. Reducing rumination, boosting experimentation, trying new things in one's career
5. Balancing life/career.
Am I just not aware?

Enormous supporter of canned!
And yes I know it looks kind of funky. Sometimes smells kind of funky. But it is easy for a weekday lunch salad or dinner protein addition.

There will likely be pre-emptive evacuation warnings/orders in/near recent SoCal burn areas (from Sep & Jan) due to high likelihood of intense downpours capable of producing *significant* debris flows. Debris flows can form very quickly, so it's wise to take these seriously.#CAwx

Talks about fire fatalities. Certainly worth talking about.
I'm more interested front-collision safety. How big is the blind spot in front of the car? How does that impact reaction timing and accident likelihood?
Comparison point: full-size SUVs with huge tall front areas/hoods and blind spots.

Tough that you have to drive. Not all commutes are equal though (even if they're identical in time).
Train commutes: long, yes, but can read, work, talk. It is a privilege.
But does RTO help you feel like part of the team? Here was my take today: open.substack.com/pub/theteard...

Does RTO Help You Feel Like You Belong?
In-office work boosts relationships and productivity. What happens if you don't have that option? It might not matter.

How do you answer this sort of question? You have a palette of 3-5 core marketable competencies.
Where do you feel you are strongest and weakest even if you do them all to some degree?

So, I sometimes corner myself with the choices provided by the question.
But I think it's really execution instead. Blending engineering, analytics, and strategy to get something done. That's execution.
And not sinking too deeply into one discipline's rabbit holes.

If I understand correctly: project re: some sort of integration and instead you think their could be a software solution for it?

Adjacent topic and interesting to hear. I am going to build a very simple web page in Notion and then tie my domain to that. I don't think I need more than that for now.
But I do want a robust and tight integration between Hubspot and ... what do people recommend?
