I hope you find peace and joy

I’ll kindly block you and move on now. I am not sure why you are so upset with me. My efforts to help seem pointless.

Best wishes on your future endeavors and happiness

I hope whatever you are working towards comes together for you

Copyrights can become silly things when taken to the extremes

It’s a complex legal issue in direct odds with simple common sense

Short of killing all the lawyers, the next best thing would be to round up the recording industry executives and banish them to Siberia

Also, Ren is 🔥

How can I be helpful?

When did we have this AMAZING conversation?

In the U.S. its health. By a mile.

Both. If you are not consistent and clear don’t expect your message to resonate

Look how politicians work. They say the same sentences ad nauseum. And they speak in clear terms understandable by a 3rd grader

Do that and your communication will 10x in power

I see them as course corrections, not major events. Reflect on previous quarter and get son the same page for next quarter. Tackle the stuff the weeklies didn’t have the time or data to address.

They should be minor resets not major upheavals

We still claim Dallas, but the results get closer each year!

It’s a great place. Just don’t eat the tacos. They aren’t real.

In a world of endless growth, staying true to your roots is the ultimate flex. Let's build organizations that echo the fast-moving, creative spirits that started it all.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 27d

Theory is for textbooks. Practice is for winners. Stay true to agile principles, stay open to change, and keep your customers in the driver's seat.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 27d

Bureaucracy kills agility. Keep it simple, streamline processes, and use resources wisely. Agile isn't just a buzzword - it's a way of life.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 27d

Flat structures = fast moves. Shared decision-making cuts red tape, builds trust, and keeps the ideas flowing. It's leadership on steroids.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 27d

If you're not listening to your customers, you're lost in the sauce. Tune in, engage, and make decisions that matter. It's not rocket science, it's just good business.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 27d

Speed is the name of the game. Short cycles, quick feedback, and constant updates keep the momentum alive. Stay limber, stay lethal.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 27d

Building cross-functional teams isn't just a buzzword - it's a lifeline. Diverse teams challenge, innovate, and solve like nothing else

Weaving rituals into your team's DNA shapes a culture of communication, learning, and badassery. It's about creating an environment where everyone thrives. No bulls**t, just results.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 28d

Feedback rituals are the unsung heroes. Quick polls, open discussions, retrospectives. Tiny habits that lead to huge wins. Sharpen that feedback game!

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 28d

Rituals are the secret sauce of killer teams. 'Show and tell' sessions, design crits, product demos. It's not just work, it's a jam session of creativity and collaboration.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 28d

Monthly or quarterly meetings are like the epic crescendos. Long-term goals, performance reviews, big decisions. Time to reflect, refine, and rock on.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 28d

Weekly meetings are where the real magic happens. Step back, assess progress, dive deep. It's the time for big updates, problem-solving, and idea-sharing.

Jason Straughan @jdstraughan.com · 28d

Daily stand-ups: 10 minutes of pure sync up. No fluff, just updates. Keep the team connected, avoid mishaps, and tackle problems head-on.
