The Bansky of NFTs
I created an NFT, but the image renders differently based on who's looking at it. For example, on OpenSea: opensea.io/assets/0x5c61afa4… ...vs on Rarible: rarible.com/token/0x5c61afa4… ...vs if you own it, it currently renders as a large 💩 emoji in your wallet. How this works: 1/n

“Can we have two golds?”
When Mutaz Essa Barshim and Gianmarco Tamberi finished the men's high jump competition tied, they could have gone to a jump-off to decide the winner. Instead, they decided to share the gold, and their reaction is what we love about sports. #TokyoOlympics

5/ Show Your Work — As you progress, take time to explain what you’ve done, what you’ve learned, what worked, and didn’t work. Many teams make the mistake of working in the dark or only communicating wins. If you want buy-in, it’s important to bring stakeholders into the process

6/ Work within cultural boundaries — Accept that some things may not be possible at your company (yet). By operating inside the cultural boundaries, overtime you’ll be able to operate more independently as folks as trust you to make good decisions <fin>

8. Structuring a great debrief also involves empowering the recruiter or hiring manager to moderate the discussion. The moderator can point out unconscious bias that creeps into evaluation and help the panel navigate disagreements that arise

9. Lastly, put as much thought into onboarding as you do hiring. Helping a PM get up to speed effectively in their first 30-90 days can set the tone for their entire tenure at the company <fin>
