Happy Friday!
I don’t email this list often - so as a reminder - you got here because you either subscribed for my writing updates (via Medium), attended a live podcast I hosted, or read one of my articles on Techcrunch about startups.
One of the things I often think about - 10 years into (what should have been) a 7 year boom in the tech industry is parental pressure in Silicon Valley. I’m a father of 2, so it’s definitely top of mind - parents do pretty outrageous things to get their kids ahead these days.
Which is why - in my latest satire for The Bold Italic - I explore the topic in detail. Have a look and let me know what you think! Would be grateful if you do like it if you could clap for it, and share it on any social networks you use.
Thanks as always for supporting my creative projects. A couple of other life updates:
I’m now the CMO of Metromile - a late stage startup based in San Francisco
I haven’t recorded a new podcast in a bit, but here’s our latest episode with Tiffani Bell
Tweet @ me! I’d love to hear from you and hear about what you have going on in life
Thanks again, and have a great weekend. I recommend getting a Rose coffee from Philz if you haven’t already.
