I've been fortunate enough to live or spend significant time in several cities across North America and Europe. After living in a new city for about six weeks, something magical happens and suddenly the world becomes clearer.

It’s always difficult to say goodbye to a colleague. Especially when they leave at a pivotal moment for the company or at the peak of a work sprint that they are supposed to be leading.

I love using a well-run kitchen as a metaphor for any type of successfully-led business. Is a well-run kitchen organized? Yes. Spotless? Yes. Does it get intense with literal fires to put out on a regular basis? Yes. We've all heard horror stories of arrogant chefs screaming at their line cooks and front-of-house staff during service. I'm not advocating for yelling or being arrogant by any means. I'm advocating for how the head chef acts before, during, and after service.

If you had told me a decade ago that my career in ten years’ time would include running remote teams of over 200 people, growing startups and apps, and working with people all across the world everyday, I would have laughed at you.
