@jamestmurphy_ @drinkLMNT @jamestmurphy_ did LMNT adopt the 3:1 structure after the test? Still doing it today?

We work on 3:1 schedule @drinkLMNT 3 week sprints, 1 week rest and assess. Is there something similar you can do for your teams to have more space and clarity for effective work? science.drinklmnt.com/lmnt-at-work/l…

@Mikepc1988 👏👏👏👏👏

Six years ago, I went to a job interview at Tesla. There were over 500 applicants, and the process started with a group interview alongside 4-5 other candidates. I made it through the first two rounds of cuts, but then I was let go. After being cut, a manager pulled me aside and gave me advice that stuck with me. He said, “You have the desire, the knowledge, and the effort to do this job. But the problem is, you have no industry experience, and you’re competing against people with 20+ years in the field.” That moment hit hard, but I took it to heart and used it as fuel to grow. Since then, I’ve been an 88M (Motor Transport Operator) in the Army National Guard, worked at a dealership, gained experience in sales, pulled a Tesla out of a junkyard and restored it, and enrolled as a student at Universal Technical Institute. Recently, I applied for an internship at Tesla. After going through two interviews, they came back with unexpected news: “We’d rather start you as a permanent employee than a temporary intern.” Even more incredible, the person who gave me that advice six years ago remembered me and recognized how far I’d come. Today, I’m proud to say I’m officially working at Tesla. This journey has taught me that hard work, persistence, and a willingness to learn really do pay off—even if it takes years. To anyone chasing a dream, keep pushing. The time and effort you put in can lead to opportunities when you least expect them.

@adcock_brett @adcock_brett you mention @Figure_robot is looking for overachievers. It's Robotics week at @tksworldhq - international group of teenagers building with emerging tech. What does an overachiever look like for those teens who want to work at Figure? What do you look for?

Figure’s Culture document online: “It’s important for me to disclose that our culture is not for everyone. If you believe in what you read below, then you are likely to thrive here. If you do not, Figure is not for you”

something that’s taken me awhile to learn, wanted to pass it along: in technology, overall progress depends on the number of product iterations and the advancements made in each one one of the more important traits for a strong founder/CEO is the ability to iterate through product quickly and repeatedly this might seem obvious, but it has to be foundational to the company’s culture: it must be established from company inception, be a criterion for hiring and firing, and be a daily practice. my intuition is that 99% of companies do this poorly if i was an investor, i’d find a way to objectively measure this instead of focusing on the more static kpi’s for founders, this is the secret sauce to the most important technologies of our generation

Big things for sure. Help support these kids in raising money for their local foodbank by picking up a few Xmas cards at creativecards.shop

@AndrewJDavison @Replit @AndrewJDavison any chance you created a step by step of how you went from zero to hero? More focused on the build > launch part for someone wanting to get started with little/no programming background? Have a community that I think would be very interested in learning specifics.

Been learning to code Python apps in @Replit. All made easier by ChatGPT. Wanted a first project. Decided to solve a problem I've had personally - downloading all the tables from an Airtable at once. So I built 👉 exportmybase.com Very happy with myself 😎
