Foster has been so incredible in helping me think more clearly and get feedback from genuinely interesting people. One of those products that is so much more than just a "product" — it's a community, a group of mentors, and a work-changing tool all rolled into one. I've been recommending Foster to everyone I know who wants to get serious about writing. Congrats @stewartfortier and @dannyhuntco!

Excited to see Pause nominated in the Product Demo Video category ✨

Slack for all async communication, Zoom for catch-ups, brainstorming or hanging out, and Pause for time off-specific notifications!

I start by writing down all my tasks and assigning hours to them (always...

At work: Checking in with teammates every day to make sure we're all working within our capacity and feeling good about what we do. We've also scheduled 1:1 check-ins for non-work related conversations with CXOs/ team leads, to make sure we have safe spaces to vent and ask for help. On a personal front: prioritising work so I don't commit to more than 35 hours a week; making time for personal...

As someone tasked with marketing a new product in a Red Ocean market, I can already tell I'll be poring over your case studies for days to get some fresh insights. Congratulations on launching!

Hey @marie_prokopets ! Thanks for doing this AMA. As a many-time founder, I wonder what lessons you may have learnt about shaping company culture and handling team collaboration, especially in a remote setup? I'd also love to know what your experience has been with burnout, given that a "wild ride" of a career often brings with it a lot of baggage and change. Did you struggle with it (or did...
