• The point at which you learn that not all problems your team has need fixing
• Leveraging the focus of your colleagues when you need help prioritizing All The Things
• The highs and lows of iterating on hiring process
• Pitfalls for new managers
• Just how much of an MCU nerd rachel is
• How isolating leadership can be at the top of the org
• Kendall's requirement to include downtime/self-care time in his calendar, typically involving mountains
• How much fun disaster preparedness planning can be
• Why it's ok to have a personal Trello, but perhaps a personal JIRA is a bit too much
