What are your philosophies on budgeting and spending money on fitness hobbies? I think this is one aspect that I underestimated the cost of when moving to NYC. I love figure skating and Pilates, but it can be over $30/session for rink/studio access and over $100 per lesson with an instructor.

What do you use for lesson plans?(Erin Condren, Happy Planner, online version)

Any recommendations for beginner tennis lessons? Ideally a weekly program.

What is the most unforgettable lesson you've learned from the past year?

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

Starting all over again! All of my life I have been fighting my weight. I lose 20, gain 30. Lose 30, gain 40. So, I am starting again. I have my meal plan in place, started walking again, and scheduled a nutritionist for next week. Hoping against hope that this is the final time I have to learn this lesson.

I never had a great relationship with my dad because we never saw eye to eye, he doesn't understand anything I say, and tries to turn everything into a lesson. He spends a lot of time sending me hour long videos about things like conspiracy theories or celebrity drama, attached with a "deep message" from him (Cont)

Anyone have any links or great sites for themed lessons for grades 4-8? Has common core standards listed and covers math , science and English ?

Has anyone ever launched a new product or service offering and GTM it for their client? Did you manage it? How was it? Lessons learned?

Has your admin ever sent your lesson plans back to redo? Normally, he doesn't look at them so I stopped being so detailed. I feel like I'm being targeted.

Is anyone using a good youtube channel for meditation and mindfullness. Music or even lessons?

At a neighborhood gathering, a large group of people were bemoaning the ills of the world and someone piped up with how much they hate how schools indoctrinate their children. I ALMOST asked which of my classes she had visited and where in the lesson I had indoctrinated her children. I don’t actually teach her children and she hasn’t been in class since high school but... Grrrrrrr. Does anyone have a good strategy for speaking up about this? Or some nice, calming mental affirmations? 😉

What are some of the biggest career/life lessons you have learned from a boss or mentor?

I’m fairly new to investing. 39, no children, and made some poor financial decisions in my past and now making progress toward saving. 12k in savings + 60k in employee stock, 5k crypto, 50k among 401/Roth/trad. Really just want some insights into lessons learned, how to optimize, etc.

If you were to pass away tomorrow, and can leave behind a note with advice for your kid(s), what would you write on there? What are the top lessons/tips you learned this life that you want to share with them?

Advice on how to offset capital gains with a loss. I averaged down on a stock (chk) for years until it finally went bankrupt (lesson learned). The rest of my portfolio is 👍🏼 and I’m realizing approx $20k this year. When I go to sell chk it will be approx $30k loss. Should I wait to sell it next year when I plan to sell my rental property, to offset capital gains? I think you can offset 3k a year, right? Or sell $3k of chk now before January to realize those losses to offset 2020 gains?

Moms, what are your thoughts on ISR vs swim lessons? My baby is 11 month old and I’d like him to learn swimming and be safe. I never learned to swim and I am terrified of water so I want to make sure our kid learns this basic skill. Thank you

What are things you wish you would have known in law school or as a baby atty or lessons you learned the hard way in biglaw?

Lesson for all: guy gave two-weeks notice the other day was told to leave today because he was speaking shit about the agency. Enjoy two weeks without a paycheck to start your new gig!

Is there a difference between management and technology consulting in big 4 consulting?

Lol at the people in Group 3 & 4 who think there's overhead compartments for their bags on a 7am flight to Chicago.

That moment when you realize you won't get upgraded on your 6am flight

Why is it that most "successful" consultants are elitist assholes? Yuck.

That moment when you become your leader's admin ~ including scheduling rooms and saving files... {I did not earn a degree for this}

When you have 2 hrs to finish a deck before a CTE but you are semi brain dead until Kanye's playlist hypes you up. Who needs coffee when there is Yeezus!
