Very important lessons over on the other site.

ASK FOR HELP — a good lesson from Amanda Natividad

Last night was “Hot Ones” date night in. We each prepare 5 questions in advance and take turns asking.

I was kind of horrified about 1990s fashion coming back but then I realized — now that I am an adult with my own money, this is the opportunity to finally buy the clothes I wanted in 8th grade.

His gracious shoutouts to Amanda Natividad & her work were fun to witness :)

I did this micro-interview for Very Good Copy a while back. I wasn't even referring to AI but...

As more of us leverage AI-generated content, great writing — informed largely by our lived experiences — becomes more important than ever.

Me: “I got to guest lecture at Columbia Business School last week!”

My mom: “Wouldn’t you rather be *in* the class?”

Asian parents out here making sure you don’t boost your self-esteem.
