Also curious:
- what you spend your time on
- what impact looks like and how it’s measured
- what makes the role succeed/fail
- what traits you associate with a great Staff+ IC

Replies/DMs welcome.

The fact that youre out there is enough to do whatever you want.

For a long time i also preferred spd because it was easier to walk. Eventually when i started doin 50+ miles regularly, the shoes really are the biggest difference. Soles get much stiffer with the road.

I say F them. Stoked for you!🤘🏽

That friend you haven’t talked to on a while. The one you always knew would be ok…. Check on en. Reach out. Call em. Go to them. Ask the serious questions.

If your in a hard place, reach out, find those real ones to talk to before its too late. Dont lose contact with your chosen family.
