omg hey vachi it's Danielle, your former post-Q1 coworker :)

I've also been trying to track down a Q1 FOR YEARS and a friend sent me this article.

Daniel Alroy would be so thrilled about this coverage. To this day, I still haven't visited the Computer History Museum in San Jose, out of respect for his grudge with Intel. (They don't include Q1 in its history.)

Both. Right now it's random. It's great having a diversity of perspectives. But we're adding a feature where you can reconnect with bosses you've liked.

Working on this. What sort of life stuff would you want a personal trainer for?

Totally. When I'm a "boss", I often give someone advice that I haven't done yet. Then after I say it, I actually (finally) go do the thing I said. It's like, I just needed to say it out loud to someone else in order to go do it.

Let's talk! This is what we're trying to do with the Your Boss app.

We facilitate peer-to-peer "boss" support through phone calls. There's question prompts at the beginning of the call to guide the conversation (ie. "Is there anyone you're forgetting to email?")

The phone always says "Your boss is calling." so you know the app is calling you.

I've been self-employed (without a boss) for 10 years and have thought about this a lot. (Check out Your Boss in the app store! We launched 12 weeks ago. Would love to know what you think.)

Haha, actually my original domain for the unlaunched project was restinpeace.website, which I let expire.
