Honest feedback from our customers is our greatest signal. Dario Barbone left a career as a scientist to build something rooted in soul: Alimentari Aurora and Studio Aurora, both named after his grandmother. @jack and the team sat down with Dario, who runs his businesses on Square and Neighborhoods on Cash App, to get live feedback. These conversations give us direct signals to iterate fast and continue bringing peace of mind to our customers. More to come. 📍alimentariaurora.com

The vision: block.xyz/inside/when-dr…

A decade ago, Square's Dreams Films asked: What is the state of the American Dream? The answer was found in Eagle Butte, South Dakota—in the work of Julie Garreau and the Cheyenne River Youth Project. Our role has always been to protect visions for every kind of dream. Ten years later, their story continues. youtube.com/watch?v=xT4Cdl…

@jewelia Welcome to the block!

Hi, news! After several deeply meaningful years at Apple, I'm joining @blocks to lead Consumer Engineering. I've spent my career at the intersection of scale and craft: building systems that reach millions of people around the world (not just in Silicon Valley!), while still sweating the small details that make products feel magical. My time at Apple taught me volumes about building not just products, but experiences that reshape and redefine our relationship with technology. Block drew me in for a few reasons. First, the products. Cash App, Square, Afterpay, Tidal are products people rely on every day to run their businesses and their financial lives. There is seriousness and care in how Block makes every interaction worthy of that trust. The emphasis on product quality, craft, and excellence is refreshing, and I'm excited to bring my own perspective to that. Second, the AI opportunity. We're at an inflection point where smart, disciplined use of AI can make financial products fundamentally better — not just faster or cheaper, but more human. More intuitive. More empowering. Natural language can strip away years of accumulated complexity and make powerful tools feel simple. I've spent years working on exactly that, and I can't wait to apply it here. Third — and most importantly — the mission. Block's purpose is to empower people with economic tools to access and thrive in the economy. For the millions of people underserved by traditional financial institutions, that mission isn't abstract. It's real. It matters. And I want to spend my time on work that matters. 💜
