I realized that I enjoy inspiring others and catalyzing ideas rather than being the one to build the product, which has shaped my career path.

Going public was a career highlight for me, as it represented a significant achievement after years of hard work.

In my first board meeting as CMO, I presented my marketing plan and asked for introductions to marketing leaders, but my board member suggested that they should learn from me instead, recognizing the unique insights I brought from my product background.

I played a personalized podcast called Pocket Pot, and my wife thought it was NPR until it played a quote of me talking, which was surprising and fun.

I created the first strategy document for Headspace, which led to a complete reimagination of the product, maximizing growth for our guided mindfulness product.

The first video that gained traction for me was a humorous take on technical interviews in the software industry, which went viral after I posted it in a Facebook group.

I was a non-technical founder, and I initially thought Y Combinator preferred technical founders, but I demonstrated traction with Product Hunt, showing that people wanted it.

I learned that being polarizing and controversial online can drive engagement and interest in my company, Cluely.

I committed to speaking at three industry events and coordinating PR efforts for Blogger's 10th birthday to reestablish its presence in the community.
