i love tacky inspiration quotes. the people who share then are always so friendly positive pure. its hard to spread positivity and 3x easier for negativity to spread. protect them!!

^ this. I survived cancer barely into my 20s and the experience has shaped my life since then. Blessed to be alive despite the struggles as not many are fortunate like me.

I grew up with inspirational quotes and posters on my wall. The words give me a boost even though they may be cheesy to some.

I graduated from the cheesy inspirational quotes years ago. Now I have one of those motivational poster pictures of a kitten hanging onto a clothesline.

On a mostly unrelated note, I also try to use as many metaphors as I can in my emails.

I'm currently making a career pivot and have gained a significant amount of experience during my MBA but still a bit in that pivot stage.. Has anyone worked for or with any corporate VCs, VCs with some sort of business development or other support, innovation labs, incubators, or similar places that you enjoyed? I'm about to graduate from an MBA program and am looking for jobs in this space. I'd love any recommendations for places to check out! Thanks!
