Huge congrats to @mariadlzollo and @EthanSutin on being acquired! Bee is an ambient wearable device with a mission of making AI more personal & agentic. So excited to see how this comes to life within Amazon! (Fun fact: I was their first angel investor. 🥰)

Don’t like your job or some other aspect of your life? Just reinvent yourself. It really is that simple, and also that hard.

Chat threads with my teenagers are full of gems like this

I was a secret child but I blew the lid off my own existence when I was 7 by using 411 to call my dad’s home phone. He was at work & my sister answered so I said: “Tell him his daughter Esther called”. 😘 My goal was to meet my dad. It worked — we met a few months later.

In a small salon in China getting my nails painted and I look over at the bookshelf and see this:

I’ve tried soooo many exercise routines but the only thing I actually stick with and enjoy year after year? Walking. The dumbest and simplest option is the best. It’s free. I can do it alone or with others. At home or when traveling. There’s really nothing better.

In Seoul for the first time. So stoked to be here! Will be trying many k-beauty products and eating a lot, then on to China. Open to suggestions and meeting people while here… DMs open. 😊 🇰🇷

You’re not meant to stay the same forever. Think about any good story or game… the characters evolve. They go on side quests and pick up new skills. It’s the NPCs who don’t change and are stuck on the same loop. Keep reinventing yourself.

The pace of change in AI and robotics is insane. If you’ve got something worth building now is the time to get after it. Waiting is the most expensive decision to make since these types of windows don’t stay open forever.

The best part of Father’s Day will be when I log onto LinkedIn to read “what fatherhood has taught me about building a B2B SaaS”.
