New episode of my "podcast about work" with my farmer brother. We've been doing it for a long time and has basically turned into a congenial brother chat once every couple weeks. Nonetheless, people seem to like it? https://www.fieldsofwork.com/podcast/ep-65-secret-bee-experience
🛫BNA DCA 🛬 Wrapping up the latest The Ready full company retreat. Always nice to step out of the normal flow of work and look at things more holistically. Rejuvenated and excited to keep building this thing.

Will be giving a talk about organization design at a video game-related conference in a few months and want to immerse myself in the reality of the audience as much as possible beforehand.
I remember really liking Blood, Sweat and Pixels. Hoping to find a few more like that. Thanks!

Trying to wrap my mind around the last year or so of my time in the DAO org design world for an article I wan to write and mostly failing. Last fall was a wild time to get step into the blockchain world, eh?
