Sharing an interesting piece in AdWeek about Grindr’s marketing strategy to change the perception of the app. It’s a good read to see how the company is attempting to make a shift. It’s something a lot of orgs have and are going through. Worth a read.

I've been spinning my wheels on Google trying to understand

Considering a move from NYC to SF and my office will be in Palo Alto. Any advice on potential neighborhoods to live in without needing a car? Would ideally like to live in SF as I’m single and still looking to explore the city. Would the commute via public transit be terrible? Perspectives from former New Yorkers would be great too. Have been on the East Coast my whole life and don’t know too much about the Bay lol
