I had brought it up in episode 22, but here in episode 44, I discuss the fact that net neutrality just got voted against by the FCC.
FCC vote against net neutrality
appeal happening next in the courts
importance of the internet to what we see today
mentioning my past rap about the internet
Will the internet remain as we see it right now? It is up to the societal and legal response to the FCC vote.

37: Being Romantic About Judgment In Character
In a recent conference where Gary Vaynerchuk was answering questions, he said “People love to be romantic about their judgment in character; thus it deems them non-actionable when it most matters”. This episode is about:
Not being attached to your past decisions or maneuvers
Make it more about firing, or cancelling, and not about hiring
Being adaptable over time instead of fixed in place out of weakness
Giving weight to your own mobility, instead of to reputation management
