Confession: I'm a Working Mom Who Never Feels Enough (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Heads up: This one is very vulnerable. It’s worth a listen if you’re a working parent, or if you lead, manage, or facilitate working parents and want to understand their world outside of work. It’s cathartic, it’s unrehearsed, and there are tears and some explicit language. When I told my friends on a walk what I’d written in my journal, they said I needed to share it. So here it is. Raw vulnerability is part of creative leadership, and this feels like the most aligned thing I could put out this
Life at the Speed of Play - Conclusion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We finished the book club today, y’all. After almost two months in Life at the Speed of Play by Mark Pincus, we landed on the conclusion — “How Ambitious Are You?” — and it’s a short chapter, but it hit different than the rest of the book. It’s more direct, less framework, more gut-check. So this one’s less me paraphrasing and more me reading it straight to you and telling you where it landed. What you’ll learn: * The gap between instinct and idea is where founders lose. Pincus’s core claim is t
Life at the Speed of Play - Part 8: Landing on New Planets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey y’all! We’re almost through Life at the Speed of Play by Mark Pincus, this time on Chapter 8, Landing on New Planets. This one is about what happens when you try to build on a platform that doesn’t have any rules yet, whether that’s AI, robotics, or whatever comes next, and it landed right in the middle of me actually wrestling with some of this at work. What you’ll learn: * The core problem this chapter tackles: Pincus’s whole “Proven Better New” framework depends on having something proven
Life at the Speed of Play - Chapter 7: F**k Scale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey y’all! Full transparency: this was one of those weeks. I barely carved out the time to hit record, so today’s episode is short and unpolished, even by my “raw and unedited” standards. But Chapter 7 of Life at the Speed of Play couldn’t have landed at a better moment, because it’s all about keeping your product or service actually good while you’re growing your team. What you’ll learn: * Why “scale” so often becomes the excuse for letting quality slide, and why Pincus is basically telling you
Life at the Speed of Play - Chapter 6: Bold Beats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re on Chapter 6 of our Life at the Speed of Play read-along, and this one’s about Bold Beats, Mark Pincus’s term for the fast, high-impact moves that sit between two traps most product teams fall into: endless tinkering on small “mouse nut” features, or getting swallowed by a massive “boil the ocean” project that takes years and never quite launches. This chapter hit close to home, since I’ve lived both traps, and I ended up applying it directly in a stakeholder meeting the same day I read it
