Have kids.

I have none and it seems to be the key discriminator when people say I look/act younger than my peers. I'm 46 for context. Having all my hair, gray though it be, probably helps.

Learn as much as you can. Understand how things work. Stop living in the bubble.

Spend time around senior folks, actually listen. Ask to be in planning sessions for sales or client prep to learn. Take in what they do and watch how they connect the dots and think beyond the problem at hand to the next 2-3 things that will be relevant to the conversation. Try to pick your head up from the day to day and practice that approach.

One year ago this weekend my mother was dying of Covid 2000 miles away from me. On Mother's Day we were told to make a decision to either consent to an invasive surgery that may do nothing or put her on hospice. She died on her own while my siblings and I tried to decide. I need to crawl into a cave this weekend until this holiday passes.

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to this bowl. If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏

How should we structure the deal? What would you want for bringing $80k to a deal?

We would do an equitable split? Obviously they'd get 50%+ of rent but do they get more rent up front?
