Some of my friends are new to Orangetheory. I’ve been a few dozen times, and as far as franchise fitness goes, I like it more than Flywheel and CrossFit but less than SoulCycle. There is nothing better than SoulCycle. Orangetheory’s secret sauce is that everything is orange. The walls are orange. The lights are orange.…
I read an essay by a woman named Nisha Chittal called, “Why I Never Tell Anyone My Age.” It’s not a super-complicated piece of writing, but it’s also not very good. Throughout the essay, the reader is told that society doesn’t know what to do with a woman’s age. When you share your age, people…
I would love to tell you that you can recession-proof your career, but in the coming age of automation, it doesn’t look great. The best thing you can do is fight for basic income and pray for mercy from our Chinese AI overlords. You don’t believe me? You want a specific way to recession-proof your…
I’ve been trying to change my media consumption habits in the month of February so that I’m feeding my brain with the words and stories of intelligent and successful women instead of slow-witted men who think they’re funnier and smarter than they truly are. There’s nothing like a man repeating political talking points and jokes…
I was listening to a podcast last week and heard a commercial for mushroom coffee. That’s right. You read that correctly. Mushroom. Coffee. Apparently, regular coffee isn’t good enough. Mushroom coffee will make you smarter, thinner, and more productive. And, if you consume enough of it, mushroom coffee will make your dick bigger. YOUR DICK.…
Welcome to National African American History Month, formerly known as Black History Month, and something I’ve never written about in my lifetime. I’m not sure why. As a progressive woman, I believe that African American history matters. Not just the part about Martin Luther King Jr., either, but the times when the black narrative showed…
I haven’t always been blonde, but I’ve always looked American. The only time people speak a foreign language to me is in Chicago. They think I speak Polish or Ukrainian. I remember traveling for work during the Bush administration. Before there was ISIS, there were fake weapons of mass destruction and Abu Ghraib. And, all…
The only reliable thing about human nature is that most of us cannot reliably predict the future. When given the opportunity to make important decisions, we often guess wrong. The concept of “uncertainty” is especially challenging for recruiters and HR professionals. We spend time and energy creating candidate pools and assessment models, and we devote…
I’m lucky to have smart people around me who offer advice on everything. This expertise comes in handy because I’m working on GlitchPath and looking to avoid the same mistakes that other entrepreneurs make when they launch a start-up. Recently, a friend of mind gave me some awesome advice. “Ask for money, you get advice.…
Hello from moderately warm and relatively sunny North Carolina. Trump has been president for about a week, and I haven’t been arrested. I need to try harder next week, but I’m busy. Here’s my story. I am in the middle of a UX/UI refresh at GlitchPath. I cannot believe those words came out of my…
