This is what I am doing now. How about you? Let me know!
Below is what I originally posted in my Substack on March 17th!
It’s March 17 2024. There is a new type of energy in NYC right now, and I am feeling it with my work and life too. It feels expansive, abundant, and dynamic! Let’s go!
Podcast Mixers: Outside of work, this is where I am spending a lot of time and energy…. I accidentally hosted a Podcast Mixer 10 weeks in a row ending in January. Opportunities came up. A new format emerged. And I wanted to push through the winter social slow-down. It’s crazy what we can accomplish when we want to do something!
With my foot off the gas a little bit now, I am exploring additional opportunities and possibilities with this repeatable, flexible and dynamic format for people to connect and learn together.
Last year, I hosted a Podcast Mixer at a retreat and also did one in another city. Maybe I will do more of this in 2024…. maybe not!
That said, I want to double-down on Podcast Mixers in 2024. And I am interested in bringing this proven model to more people in different places and spaces!
Reach out if you have ideas!
Chief of Staff Network: Since August 2021, I have been working here as a Community Manager. These days, my role is focused on producing and hosting IRL and virtual events, courses, and cozy half-day experiences (e.g. our Brain Trust event in NYC on 4/4).
I am developing my skills here as a producer, facilitator, host, and more. Things I like doing, which is great!
New York City: Wow, I am coming up on 8 years of living in NYC and have been in the same apartment in Williamsburg for 6+ years. This has led to a lot of benefits like seeing friends on the street more, etc. It’s amazing and this Spring in NYC is going to be special!
I am hearing about and seeing more intentional gatherings, people wanting to cultivate deeper friendships, and people exploring new ways of doing life vs talking about their lives (h/t this article).
Portfolio Career Podcast: The podcast feels more sustainable now then it ever has. I am kind of going back to my roots more by chatting with my friends more IRL on it, in addition to hosting Podcast Mixers with friends. I am having a lot of fun! I am grateful that it has connected us, thanks for being here!
A New Project: I am working on a new project. It’s a gathering, and I am excited about it. I will share more about it when I can!
What are you doing NOW? I would love to hear!
