Perfect timing — I guess they were waiting for the AI Summit but French startup Mistral behind the French/European AI (Mistral) just updated and upgraded their platform. Much faster and more powerful. Gonna give it a try for work and play 😊

Finally took some time to update my /now page :)
Silver Linings:
-
Got sick (flu season) the day before a business trip to HQ. Had to cancel the trip this morning with my French and German colleagues.
-
My French colleagues obviously still went. Flight got cancelled and they now have to wait from 10am to 8pm to be rebooked on a later flight.
So while I’m recoveringing at home, this is …for the better in my part
My friend wrote a book, while battling brain cancer!

📚 I met my friend @JamesMayes.bsky.social about a dozen years ago at a local chapter of TEDx in Brighton, where I used to reside during my university studies and the early stages of my career. We quickly connected due to our shared heavy social media usage and mutual attraction towards good food & drinks, good people, and a passion for technology. Since then, we’ve been friends, and I’m grateful to have him as both a friend and a mentor in my professional life.Too many business school graduates and not enough liberal arts alumni.

Have to use a Lenovo business PC running Microsoft and let me tell you what piece of nightmarish hell the software AND hardware are! How do people live, let alone work this way?!
Welcome to the Madhouse
Going to an office for work today, for the first time in over 2 years. Ask me anything.
(Remote Work is everything / the logistics of commuting and in-office are exhausting!)

WFH
Freelance and looking for work
Saturday, August 5, 2023
👋🏼 It’s been a few months since I’ve gotten back to freelancing and I wanted to share that I have some availability between now and the end of the year. 💼 I’m looking for additional work in Customer Success / Product Marketing starting at the end of August. 🙋🏻♂️I’m flexible but typically specialize in early stage startups and small companies looking for a Jack-of-all-trade profile, across a wide range of industries.Starting a new role today, overseeing the community and customer education at @GetStarkCo – so incredibly excited and humbled to be joining this team!
Truly a joy to find myself in the supermarket and using Clear to tick off items between aisles today!
Brought back the memories of working at @Realmacsoftware.com at the beginning of my career and using the app daily for work stuff and personal errands too!
Micro.Blog March Photoblogging Challenge: #MBMar Day 3: “solitude”
In this case: a quiet morning working on some stuff by myself in our office
With every day that passes, it looks more and more like I’ll be going back to freelancing.
The first step is to prepare a new ‘professional’ website, then to organize myself across Notion & Things, and later ensure the legal, admin, and banking side is all set up… Wish me luck! :)

📣 💼 I’ve been thinking of how best to apply my skills and help companies grow. I can add a lot of value to a team focused on business & product but that hasn’t had the chance to think about how to support customers and how to onboard new users. My sweet spot is early-stage startups and companies that need to set up and launch their customer experience: setting up their support strategy, help desk, help center, segmenting the customer base and understanding how to educate users in the best practices, how to use features, how to make sure they make the most out of a given product, all the way to community building.2023 is the year I put my community-building and online-friendliness skills to good use on my own projects.
I’ve given enough and been burnt enough by corporations.
The problem with wearing your heart on your sleeves is that one ends up caring way too much. And when things fall apart, it hurts.
The WeWork today is 🔥 🤩
.@brennanjp grateful everyday to be working with you and the team at @ACMomento
