March 2013, I joined Adam Klein as the 2nd employee of “this thing called American Underground”...back when everything was still underground. As I transition into a new season, I'm leaving with gratitude, a deeper understanding of myself & lessons learned! bit.ly/3acuXKe

This week’s episode of “Evening Hikes w/ Molly”: Tonight I noticed a plant growing from a tree stump & realized it was the same stump connected to the dead tree that I watched fall exactly a 1yr ago this week. I think I’ll take it as a reminder that new life can come from death!

Last week our team was exploring @Communitech and the Canadian startup ecosystem and this week we got to welcome @iAccelerateClub and @NCStateENT to learn more about the Australian ecosystem. If you’re a founder looking to expand into either of these markets, send us a note!

Words matter, not just in our relationships and teams, but in our job descriptions. According to research led by @MSFTResearch -using “web developer” rather than “computer programmer” increased the female applicant pool by 50% for engineering roles! #TrueNorth19

Thisssss👇🏽. Just another reason why I love the @ArchiveSocial team ... 65 people and $53 million later they still find ways to stay engaged and connected with the community.
highlight of my night: @clarkdudek, one of the best networkers I know and consummate guy to grab a beer with, makes a virtual appearance at @AmerUnderground’s Startup Crawl - physical name badge and all 💯

So many amazing updates from ecosystems partners across the @ncidea network, but this really hit deep as ED, Thomas Hall, named the impact historical racism has on economic development, and asking the room how they are addressing this systemic issue in their regions. #realtalk
