Amplifying the impact of Startmate's team and community (which is pretty cool!)!
Favourite part of working at Startmate?
The ambition and the pace.
Favourite Quote?
Shakespeare has some crackers! E.g. "There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life. Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures. Also, and slightly less profoundly but genuinely these are words to live by - 'win the morning win the day' (NB Shakespeare did not say this as far as I am aware)
Favourite book?
Not possible to say a favourite, however I think Lincoln in the Bardo (George Saunders) is one of the best books ever written. As with all good fiction, to truly engage with it you need to set your normal way of thinking aside, be comfortable dwelling in enormous amounts of ambiguity and, as Saunders says, 'bring forward the most expansive part of yourself'. Which I think is a pretty good way to truly engage in life as well!
What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from it?
At the smoothie shack and I learned how to make the best acai bowls on this good earth (invaluable in my current role can I tell you, Batko LOVES smoothies)
What would be your alternative career?
If I could run for a living I'd be tempted.
