Founder's Journal

My divergent way of thinking became apparent to me while I spent five hours of my day writing an email to sum up the months of research I've been doing around Morning Brew's educational product. Producer Josh and I discuss why you should figure out if you're a divergent or convergent thinker, and why it's sometimes beneficial to use both methods.

Our second live Founder's Journal recording was a success. Producer Josh and I continue to discuss what I learned from Nir Eyal's book "Indistractable" and I answer a listener question about the hardest pitched I've ever had to make.

It's no secret that I'm the worst at avoiding distractions. But today, I share how Nir Eyal's book "Indistractable" is teaching me practical tips to stay focused, as well as shaping Morning Brew's next educational product.

I've always been someone who learns through discussions, which means I never skipped class in college. Today I explain how I'm figuring out how to apply my learning style in the work place, and how this could inform Morning Brew's educational products.

I reflect on how it felt to watch Morning Brew put on a giant initiative where I played a minimal part in making it happen. I also share why it's important to be empathetic in your hiring process.
