New episode of my "podcast about work" with my farmer brother. We've been doing it for a long time and has basically turned into a congenial brother chat once every couple weeks. Nonetheless, people seem to like it? https://www.fieldsofwork.com/podcast/ep-65-secret-bee-experience

🛫BNA DCA 🛬 Wrapping up the latest The Ready full company retreat. Always nice to step out of the normal flow of work and look at things more holistically. Rejuvenated and excited to keep building this thing.

Best books about video game development? Particularly interested in books about orgs even over books about specific games. Want to go deep on the default organizational OS patterns in that industry.

Really enjoyed this conversation with @pmillerd . Covered ground that these convos don’t usually hit: my teaching career, playing elite level hockey as a teenager and the regrets of bailing too quickly, plus all the usual organization design stuff: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4lf_MvS9cig&feature=share

Trying to wrap my mind around the last year or so of my time in the DAO org design world for an article I wan to write and mostly failing. Last fall was a wild time to get step into the blockchain world, eh?
