Back in 2017, I started a podcast called Shareable. The first season was an exploration of the impact of people and technology on our lives and careers. In the second season, people came on to teach a Masterclass. Then, for the next 200 episodes, I just talked to people about their stories. In

A diagnosis. A school file. An HR conversation. An argument with someone who read one article. That's usually where the acronym shows up first. The Acronym Society exists so it can show up somewhere else too: in a room full of people who already get it.

Enforcing boundaries can only happen once you understand it’s about owning your response, not controlling others' behavior. Always honor your needs over the comfort of those who would disrespect your boundaries. If you want to build a force field, this is the path to personal

Erica and I are heading to Dallas this October for BloomCon, the Gifted Neurodivergent Adults Conference. We're bringing a session called Bridging the Gap Between How We Work and How We're Understood: Creating Personal User Guides for Neurodiverse Teams. Here's the premise: write down what actually

If you're trying to "fix productivity," here's a diagnostic I keep coming back to. Most organizations describe the problem as one or more of these six pains: speed, consistency, output, innovation, prioritization, and burnout.

Most people listen _to_. They hear enough so they can respond, so they can sound smart, so they can be right. But listening becomes a superpower when you change where you're listening _from_, what you're listening _for_, and your willingness to listen _in_. 🧵

Expense tracking is the task I kept putting off. Tedious. Annoying. By the time I sat down to deal with it, I'd forgotten half of what I spent. The alternative was a spreadsheet I opened once a month and then hated for an hour. So I built something better. 🧵

You know the feeling. You're on a sales call and suddenly something feels... off. Maybe it's the fake urgency. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's the sense that you're being managed instead of helped. That's the moment sales starts to feel "icky." 🧵

One of the most freeing realizations I've had is this: You don't have to be perfect to make a positive impact. We spend so much time worrying about whether our work, choices, or tools are causing harm that we sometimes forget to ask a more important question: "Who am I helping?" 🧵

Most people have plenty of motivation. What's missing is a framework. They know they have more to give. They just don't have a system for getting there. That's what the Superhero Institute is built for. 🧵

Recorded a new Rogue episode with Lynne Williams and she completely reframed how I think about LinkedIn. The big insight: LinkedIn is a database first. If you're not thinking like Google when you optimize your profile, you're invisible to the people looking for exactly what you do. 🧵

Kindness feels radical in a world that profits from outrage. We scroll past cruelty, conflict, and suffering every day until cynicism starts to feel normal. But then someone shows real compassion. Someone listens. Someone helps. Someone chooses care over winning. And we feel it immediately. 🧵

A lot of productivity systems fall apart because the pieces don’t talk to each other. Tasks aren’t connected to projects. Projects aren’t connected to goals. So you work hard and still feel like you’re not getting anywhere. 🧵

Your brain was never supposed to be your storage system. It’s a processor. Not a hard drive. I built an external memory in Notion -- a timestamped feed for my actual life. Doctor appointments. Where I put things. Nice things people said. Accomplishments. Regrets. 🧵

Hot take: PARA is a great concept with a hierarchy problem. And for autistic and ADHD brains, that problem is not minor. It is the reason most people abandon their Notion setup entirely. 🧵

Most productivity advice tries to fix you. I decided to build a system that works with my brain instead of against it. Just dropped Episode 1 of a full series where I build my personal knowledge management system -- the SuperBrain OS -- in Notion, live, from scratch. 🧵

A team that looks slow… might just be confused. A team that looks inconsistent… might just lack shared standards. A team that looks unproductive… might just be working on the wrong things. 🧵

PARA has a hierarchy problem. And for ADHD brains, that problem breaks the whole system. Episode 2 of the SuperBrain series is live: a full tour of the SuperBrain OS and why I replaced PARA with something that actually works for neurodivergent minds. 🧵

I stopped trying to fix my brain and started building a system around it instead. The result: the SuperBrain OS — a Notion system where everything has a home. I just dropped Episode 1 of a full series teaching you how to build it yourself, from scratch. No Notion experience needed. 🧵

Netflix, I totally understand. Times are tough and everyone is struggling financially. No one expects a company to get by on a meager $10B in profit per year. I’m happy to pay the extra few bucks per month if it means you can get a little something to eat and afford rent.

You can make a dent in the world by chance… or you can do it on purpose. But doing it on purpose requires something most people never take the time to define: A code. A set of values you actually live by, not just agree with. 🧵

A lot of “systems problems” turn into trust problems. Because every time someone has to: - hunt for the latest doc - ask in a DM what the process is - re-enter data in three places - guess what “done” means …trust erodes a little. 🧵

If you’ve ever worked for a leader who wasn’t honest with you, you know the feeling. Information trickles down in pieces. Feedback gets softened until it means nothing. Bad news gets managed instead of addressed. And slowly, trust disappears. 🧵

For years, I believed strength meant keeping everything together. No visible doubts. No visible fears. No visible struggles. So I built armor. And while that armor protected me in some situations, it also created distance between me and the people around me. 🧵

Most productivity advice assumes everyone's brain works the same way. It doesn't. And a lot of smart, capable people end up feeling like they're failing… when the real issue is the system they're using. 🧵

When you think of compassion, what comes to mind? For me, it’s not just a feeling. It’s not softness. It’s not a personality trait. It’s the moment when care becomes action. When you can’t stay on the sidelines anymore. 🧵

Pay attention to the moment you stop listening. The moment you start rehearsing your rebuttal. The moment you decide they’re wrong and you’re done trying to understand. That’s the exact moment empathy is needed most. 🧵

This morning I spent about 45-minutes making a single breakfast quesadilla. I baked the bacon, fried the onions just the way I like, and crisped the tortilla slowly. It was so worth the time, and a reminder to do nice things for ourselves now and again. Treat yourself.
