In spring, tiny early flowers look so beautiful. I guess it’s the context & the moment. In a few months a little flower like this will be easy to miss among lush leaves & abundant blooms.

This is a virtual door (made with AI even) that leads to a real flesh-and-blood person (me). I like meeting people, learning & teaching, and deepening our friendships. So, here's a question about you: What's a topic or skill that you love to pursue?

Greetings from my morning walk☀️ Short one today. It’s pretty but air quality index says unhealthy for sensitive groups. Too bad. Anyway, how did you start your day?

Hi 👋 Nice to meet you Or do we know each other already? Either way, what are you working on today?

Backyard is brown but spring’s earliest flowers have emerged - white snowdrops (galanthus) & yellow winter aconite (eranthis hyemalis). These ephemerals will spread in the garden & then disappear as thousands of flowers bloom in coming months. It’s a joy to watch seasons change.

This is Mission Dolores Park, a public park in San Francisco’s Mission District, established in 1905. This park is one of the city’s most heavily used public gathering spaces. Always interesting to see unique places & how people experience them.

Isn't it fascinating to meet people, discover how others think, and learn what they are working on? When we come together in conversation, minds mix, styles overlap, and we guide each other to something new.

This is the Sentinel Building, also known as the Columbus Tower, a 1907 Beaux-Arts–style building in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood. Notable for its copper-clad turret & for surviving the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake & fire. I like it.

I’m spending a little time in the Bay Area, California. I love walking to explore & around here, the steep hills lead to sweeping & beautiful views. This is on the way to Coit Tower.

Interviewing (for jobs) has been an important part of my professional work. I enjoy meeting & speaking with people. Some thoughts around how I’ve looked the process, including erring on the side of more interviews. What’s your perspective?

There's nobody quite like you. You know that. But also, you change in every moment. Each time you open up to a new experience, or a new person, it's like walking through a symbolic door that never reappears. It's one-of-a-kind & then changes forever.

Thoughts around testing social media formats (including social audio) for self-awareness & to see what people respond to.

Content on the internet 🚪 It's like a door. An invitation to cross through & discover more. I invite you into my world. Do you know how to enter? My job is to make it clear. You can DM me, subscribe to my newsletter, schedule/join a meeting, or we can interact on posts. 👋

Do you ever think about what you just cannot do to understand what you are good at? I believe in getting uncomfortable & pushing to do new things but not always. Seems good to observe where there’s a bottleneck, where inspiration is lost. Then go where it flows instead.

I’ve been thinking about the many ways we interact online & which ones actually build trust. Which interactions lead to the fastest connections or the deepest ones? I have my own answers, but I wanted to open the question up.

A wooden door with a window at the top, photographed straight on. Overlaid text reads, “Turning strangers into people you grow to trust,” followed by the question, “What moments actually deepen connection online?” The image evokes reflection, thresholds, and the idea of trust beginning with an opening.

Good morning. ☀️ Have you ever seen giant redwood trees? Amazing. This is a photo from a trip to Northern California, taken years ago.
