Did you know that roughly 70% of scaleups in the U.S. decline yearly (some very publicly!) due to scaling too quickly?

It’s a daunting reality not many founders and growth executives talk about.

We hold these truths to be self-evident… that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights… among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness… whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...

We need to try harder to accept the willingness to care beyond our own self-interest. The world need us now more than ever ✊🏼

There is a kind of leadership that builds.

And there is a kind that burns everything down just to stand atop the ashes.

We are witnessing a leadership crisis. A crisis of values, of precedent, of what we will come to accept as “normal.”

It is of existential importance that we pay attention ⬇️ 1/2

How do you recognize a genuinely good person?

The world urgently needs to be taken over by the kind souls, with bright lights and sincere hearts.

It’s an emergency 🚨

Not always what’s legal is ethical, what’s ethical is moral, and what’s moral is virtuous. Sound judgement comes from our ability to discern across that whole spectrum of nuance.

“Maybe you have no idea just how good you really can be? And maybe you don’t know how much you matter? But maybe, just maybe, the world has been waiting centuries for someone exactly like you. One thing is for sure, you are here. And because you are here, anything is possible.” 📚🩵 #BookSky 🦋

I’m her. Many of us are her. Growing up believing our true power make us inherently dangerous, especially when our power seems to act unpredictably in moments of strong emotion. Until we reclaim our identity and use it to stand up for what we believe in, accepting us as #wicked in our own terms 💚
