Episode notes

I think for me now that I have stepped into the CEO row, it has been harder than when I was had a product because I'm more externally facing. Every week I have about two sessions where I'm going to deal with email to a. So then that leads to my next question is, do you think that the current meaning of inbox zero is not what it really was intended to? You can't get your other stuff done. It's like you're trying to plug holes and meanwhile there's another person starving.

Aye Moah, who goes by Moah (pronounced Moe), is taking over the helm as CEO of Boomerang which 2 million savvy active users rely on to spend less time on email and more time on what matters to them. Their loyal user base has saved over 500 years of their lives since 2011 that would otherwise have been spent in email hell.

Ironic (or should we say iconic) for someone who arrived at MIT and announced they were going to major in Computer Science without ever having an email address. Yes, this 5’ tall woman who, literally dodged bullets growing up in Burma, clandestinely applied to go to MIT, got a full ride, and took the first airplane flight of her life to start school. And she has never stopped punching above her weight since.
