Keeping In Touch
I met up with a bunch of old coworkers last night for drinks. Which admittedly is making it hard to churn out these words. So I'm going to keep it brief.
It feels good to catch up with the people you've fought battles with in those early messy startup days. Recounting funny stories and hearing about all the different directions people have gone. Oh the places they'll go. An alphabet soup of titles and companies, new and old. The fresh college grads of years past now running teams. What?? Apparently people grow!
Keeping in touch is fun. It's hard. But it's important! You never know who can help you and the journey is just more fun with familiar faces along the way.
Reach out to an old colleague for me this week, will ya?
