Allow me to (re) introduce myself. Here are some important things to know about me in no particular order. I'm married to an amazing wife and dad to two wonderful girls. My personal mission is to build a better world of work. I grew up in South Florida (Go Noles!) and lived in New York and Los Angeles before setting in Northern VA. I'm a tech/digital nerd with boundless curiosity for emerging tools. 🤓 I've spent 25 years in the talent and people space building high-growth companies as an operator and entrepreneur. I love live music and have eclectic tastes including punk, reggae, EDM, yacht rock, and old school hip hop. 🎵 I'm a wannabe designer and video creator and dabble in both (owning my self-taught mediocrity in both). I've covered modern people and work practices in my Fast Company column since 2019. 📝 I've published two books - Employer Branding for Dummies (co-authored with the legendary Richard Mosley) and Redefining HR. The former cements my "dummy" status. Feel free to use that on me. I've overcome much adversity and loss in my life, including both of my parents to disease and my only sibling to addiction. I write and share about my experience living with grief and the scars of loss and the impacts of addiction as a way of healing and (hopefully) helping others with similar experiences feel less alone. The experience above had a profound impact on my optimistic view and appreciation of life and the resiliency to know I can overcome hard things. I host a podcast in LinkedIn's Podcast Network called "Redefining Work". 🎧 I put myself through college and have been working since I was 14 years old (Publix Bag Boy). I love to travel and explore the world. 🗺️ If you follow me here I want you to know me beyond my posts. Now you do. Thanks for reading! ✌🏼

Anthropic now has a team dedicated to AI and the rule of law — and we've just opened our first role. @AnthropicAI has studied what AI means for the economy. This team asks a different question: what will it mean for executive power, for courts and elections — and for the public deliberation that constitutional democracy ultimately rests on? We're looking for someone with real depth in both AI and the law — a legal scholar, political scientist, or experienced government hand who can reason about frontier systems and the institutions they will affect. If that's you, or someone you know: job-boards.greenhouse.io/ant…

The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains. None of the threats have been determined to be credible thus far. fbi.gov/news/press-releases/…

Stop scrolling, take a deep breath, and use the next few minutes to escape to a place where the air is sweet. 💛💚

Scaring voters and creating an early narrative of mayhem and chaos are all part of the anticipated disinformation campaign. Good morning. The @FBI would also like to remind you that pretending to represent the FBI is a federal crime.

Reminder that WISCONSIN HAS SAME-DAY VOTER REGISTRATION so if you need to, you can register at your polling place.

If you encounter violence, threats, or intimidation at a polling place, call 911 immediately. After alerting local authorities, report the incident to the Justice Department. For election-related complaints, contact the FBI: tips.fbi.gov/home
