My son says his favorite song is Dokken’s “Dream Warriors.” I must be doing something right as a dad, yes? #workingparents

Today I sent out employee offer letters. For a company that I built. That’s strengthening the #childcare industry, helping women & PoC business owners, helping #workingparents access care, & making money while we do it.
My team? All women & PoC. 90% parents.
We’re doing this.

Thoughts on how data needs evolve. I'd add in a startup, go with "DaaS hires" who understand the biz model as data needs change before product-market fit. #DataScience #workingparents #startup
