I used to think leadership was about having the answers. Now I know it’s about asking better questions — and leading with empathy. My first book, Empathy at Work, is out now from @Forbes Books. It’s about how connection, not control, drives real results. a.co/d/5zebKuB

I distilled my 4 years of marketing lessons into minimalistic visuals. 1. Sell Benefits. Not features.

@kauf co-founder of @stockx and Artclvb will be speaking at Founder Social Club's Marketplace Masterclass. He will be diving into marketplaces, brand strategy, and creativity. This is a rare chance to hear from someone who knows how to build and scale like a pro. 🗓 Date: Monday 8/19/2024 🕒 Time: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM PDT 📍 Location: Zoom RSVP here: lu.ma/87into0e I look forward to seeing you there! #FounderSocialClub #founders #startups #marketplaces #entrepreneur

Excited to announce AddGlow's $1.7 million pre-seed round co-led by @badboyboyce and @chudson, with participation from StoryHouse, @tristanwalker, @anthemos, @kauf, @NikkiFarb and more ✨ There are lots of commerce related conversations on 3rd party sites, mainly Reddit and Facebook Groups. SubReddits include Food (~24 million), Gadgets (22 million), Male Fashion Advice (~6 million), and Makeup Addiction (~5 million). But by not hosting communities on their own websites, brands miss out on crucial data that they could leverage to increase revenue. Excited to continue building with Yelena, @jarques and Kingston! 🚀 techcrunch.com/2024/02/22/add…

@Brad_Klune Thanks, Brad! I enjoyed our conversation!

Truth 💣 Continuous learning for PMs is absolutely crucial. You must always be a student. The co-founder of StockX, @kauf, taught me the right way to get product feedback.

Congrats to EMU Alum, Chris Kaufman, who received the Alumni Entrepreneur of the Year award in recognition of his entrepreneurial achievements and support for the Center for Entrepreneurship. We are proud of what you have and will achieve. Go Eagles!

Happy junior year of COVID, y’all.

Got this gigantic box in from @stockx today. I'll post a video of what it is. It's not necessary that a platform utilized for commerce recognizes milestone moments in sales, but I'm sure this is for hitting 2.5 million in sales and 20,000 pair sold. This is a dope gesture.

Don't confuse being a fast talker with being a deep thinker. Speaking quickly signals confidence, not complexity. Don't mistake volume for expertise. Speaking loudly reflects conviction, not credibility. Sometimes the best ideas come from the least assertive voice in the room.

@Itsamemarkio @stockx Thanks, Mark! I hope you’ve been well!

I’m very excited to share the new @stockx brand identity. Our new logo represents a confident step towards becoming a world-class brand. It honors our past, speaks to who we are today, and highlights our bright future ahead.

Positive leaders are demanding but not demeaning. They set high standards and have low tolerance for excuses. They expect your best and challenge and encourage you to achieve it.

Join the cause. #StopAsianHate at stopaapihate.org.
