I simply loved this. I loved the story of you traveling the world (something you told me on call so many months ago!) And now I get this. Wow, you capture the moment really well. Looks like you keep leveling up with each WOP cohort :)

Thank you Ishan. It was a scary moment. But we learned and grew from it.

Wow, this whole tangle of AI, new tech, and the well-being of children hasn't been on radar at all, probably because my kids are all older now, but what an important issue to be surfacing. In 30 years of parenting I've never elected to share imagery of my family online. I don't even do it in person at speaking gigs. I felt the instinctual need not to implicate my family in business and public life. I'm so pleased at this point to have made the decision. But I have so much empathy for new parents who are facing all kinds of hard decisions when it comes to use of technology.

The article was enlightening. It is particularly interesting for all of us who share family updates, write blog posts that might reference our children because that is a part of our value proposition.

AI is a whole new game in town. It will take a moment for us to adjust to a new way of learning to trust each other in this new environment.
