Quick Recap

Hey there, Trying out something new this week. I'm sharing a quick recap of my favorite lessons, reads, and shares of the month. Let me know if this is something you'd like me to keep doing! January 2025 RecapRead this on the web | Subscribe ReadsThis month, I read The Nvidia Way by Tae Kim, which is about how Jensen Huang built Nvidia into a world-leading tech company. The Good: The book tells a time-pertinent story of Nvidia's rise and is a relatively quick read for a technically heavy subject. The first and last chapters shine by focusing on the personal stories behind the company’s leaders and vision. The Bad: The story leans heavily into hustle culture, and practical, actionable takeaways are sparse. A greater focus on the human side throughout would have made it more compelling. One Highlight: (Side note: I have a Telegram group chat for people who like reading non-fiction books to share highlights and current reads. If you'd like an invite, reply to this email with the best nonfiction book you read last year and what you're reading next.) Listens1. The Art of Accomplishment is one of my favorite personal growth podcasts, but this month, they also published two of my favorite work-related episodes: The Secret to Thriving Company Culture and Your Obsession With Productivity Is Killing Your Productivity. Both are worth a listen. "To be in a company where people are actually thinking about these things, they first have to think it's possible. People feel like, oh, I can build AGI. I can build a 10 billion company. And then you [ask] so how can we build a culture that's 20 percent better? And they're like, yeah, no, I don't know if that's possible, it's people." 2. On the personal side, if you're a parent of young kids and dread the usual headache-inducing children's music, check out Christina Perri. She created a couple of children’s albums (for her own kids) that are soothing, chill, and genuinely enjoyable for both kids and adults. SharesIn case you missed it, I shared three new articles this month:

If it feels like your team keeps revisiting the same conversations… you’re not alone. Maybe someone asks, “Wait—are we still planning to redesign onboarding this quarter?” Another chimes in, “I thought we were doing the sample data thing first?” Then someone drops a six-week-old Slack thread with four conflicting opinions and no clear final call. I’ve seen this exact conversation play out in almost every remote product team I’ve worked with. It’s not a communication problem. It’s a memory...
