I almost forgot I had a website. 😉 Best-laid plans and all. But seriously, has it really been over a year since I’ve posted here? Granted, I set up the Twitter feed so things could somewhat be on autopilot here but still planned to be more active.
“So what have you been up to?”
Nobody
I suppose most of the distraction stems from starting a new job. After a long career at a global company with over 300K employees, I joined a Fintech unicorn with ~1500 employees. Still doing product marketing. It’s been a welcome change. Very rewarding being so much closer to the action, helping drive strategy with a bunch of smart people, and truly seeing the impact of my work. Not without its challenges, of course, but I’m enjoying it. Fortunately, I’m able to work remotely but, since they are headquartered in Charlotte, I can easily make the 2.5-hour commute for important meetings, training, etc. And we went public a few months ago. My first IPO!
I’m still trying to remain active. Most days start with me getting up early and going to the gym. Mostly weightlifting, some cardio, and I like sitting in the sauna. The pandemic derailed what would have been my third Spartan race. I’ve since learned I have osteoarthritis in both shoulders so not sure obstacles like the Monkey Bars and Rope Climb are the best idea. We’ll see. I would like to do more hiking, though.
