Any idea what's to be done?
You’ve got a $99,000 job including the value of benefits and bonuses.
Bangkok or KL for Asia.
Austin for the US.
-Actively working to strip away the identity/persona I built up over the last decade while leading the company, in order to get back to "who I really am and/or accurately understand who I've become" outside of the context of the company and the role of CEO/Founder.
-Reading SO MUCH. And specifically the book "The Adult Years" has been essential for me in understanding the life stages we all go through and how to manage transition best.
-Going on extreme/esoteric retreats: like climbing a snowy mountain this winter in Poland in just a bathing suit. I'm trying to push myself physically in ways I've never done before.
-Bought a house for the first time and am learning to be a DIY god.
-Supporting my wife's entrepreneurial journey as much as possible (she's the founder of her own successful company).
-Being open again to mentoring/supporting others as much as possible.
-I hope to soon become a Court Appointed Advocate so I can help NYC area kids who are caught up in "the system" in some way shape or form.
-Oh and...lot of financial/estate planning work :)
2. Get disability insurance and use it: www.disabilitysecrets.com/dnewsblog/2009/07/filing-for-disability-for-stress.html << typically pays about 2/3rds of salary up to a cap for X months.
3. During that mental health break do the following:
a) remove all social media from your life.
b) break your days into 4 hour chunks with buckets like this: Enjoy Nature, cultivate friend/family relationships, read, learn, introspective deep work.
4. Don't return to work until you're sure what you'll be doing day to day will enable you to be happy.
5. If you won't be happy change jobs or even your career entirely. Just because you can program doesn't mean you'll be happy doing it...
What we're seeing the the beginning of a massive deleveraging as excess debt gets worked out of the system. It's possible that asset classes of all kinds (including startup valuations, real estate, stocks etc.) are 30-50% above par value. We'll see...
We even have a nap pod...and the pro-napping policy is written into our employee/HR manual.
Of the 80+ employees, I'd say 20% of them nap in the office at least once a week. Why fight biology? Naps are great.
1. Everyone in the company can work on R&D projects. 2. There's budget set aside for this work. 3. Everyone can pitch new ideas for new projects/products. 4. If something get green-lit you can join that project if you desire and have value to bring to it.
It's really challenging to assign dedicated "20% time" or some other formal allocation. We've tried serval times and failed. Instead, now, we just setup hackdays/internal innovation days where the entire company can work on whatever they want. It's great for morale and produces new things we can pitch to our customers.
We are stupid.
The content is therefore stupid.
It has to play to us. It plays to what we want.
This isn't hard.
My company is helping Red Bull out with vetting college teams to participate in Creation.
If you're an engineering student and want to hack this email me: peter@istrategylabs.com
I believe we have 1 or 2 slots left for college teams.
We have to invent new things everyday, and due to our focus on hacking the digital and physical worlds there's so many possibilities.
