This week I talk about why this is my heaviest speaking year since before the pandemic — and how I'm deciding whether all that travel and prep time is actually worth it, given the real cost of crafting talks and getting clients from them. Then a story about Mark Zuckerberg telling Meta employees to "have fun again" after brutal layoffs, including the absurd perk of a permanent desk. And a recommendation for House of the Dragon Season 3, which drops June 21st.
