Behind the Scenes of My Life

On the evening of the election here in the US, I tweeted my most re-tweeted tweet ever: "I know many many wonderful people who are dedicated to making the world a better place and that's a thing that will not change tonight."

I know that lots of people are hopeful and pleased that we have a new president today. I am not. I am very worried. Many of the things I care about most, our new president is actively antagonistic toward. 

But that tweet is true no matter who controls the @POTUS Twitter account.

I am not just hopeful, I am excited about the future. And much of that has to do with these great people who I am lucky enough to work with. I know that I'm their boss, and they know that too, but I hope they also know that our goal isn't to create money, it's to create value. It's to make things that people love, and that they care about, and that maybe even help them become better people.

If you're feeling particularly drained by the political climate where you live, I suggest looking to the people  you know in the real world rather than the ones you imagine are taking over your country. My guess is that there's a lot of hope there.
