  • his focuses for 2023 (storytelling and agility
  • his experience working for Easton Sports and AT&T, then taking a risk to leave a steady job and be employee #1 at goodr
  • his love of Pitch-a-Palooza, a recurring opportunity for employees to pitch wild, absurd product ideas (or content ideas) to the whole company
  • his mapmaking skills, learning from failure, and the importance of providing context for projects (like goodr's box redesign)
