This is awesome! Thanks for showing leadership in discovering "what's next?". Have put it out to our community.

Re: Leonie Yue's Art Adventuuures: SuperListenMode: 1st time learning Solo Jazz/Charleston

Yes! WINNING! I was actually grinning at the Blues art... reminds me so much of learning swing. But now I'm almost the opposite: I just rock up and let the lead lead and I merrily follow, hardly thinking at all!

Re: Your business doesn’t have to be globally scalable if you don’t want it to be

Oi StartupSmart - you changed the name of this post and it makes Jon look like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

"Your startup doesn’t have to be globally scalable if you don’t want it to be" is very different to the posts original title in Medium "You don’t have to build a scalable startup."

A startup is globally scalable, otherwise it's an SMB / lifestyle business. Jon is saying you don't HAVE to build a startup, you can also choose to build a lifestyle business and there is equal awesomeness in that path.

It actually makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about.

We're toying with something to help reduce the attrition rate of women in accelerators (and make sure they get the most out of them) if you want to chat about trialling it with SheStarts. I realise it's all female but offers there if you wanna chat further. sarah@girlgeekacademy.com

That's a relief. I guess the only difference will be we can make the effort to increase the diversity of the people succeeding and failing (and the diversity of douchebags too, I guess!). Congrats on SheStarts - a great welcome to newcomers of the Girl Geek variety :-)

You might have noticed it's become pretty trendy to get involved in this whole "startup" thing... As startup culture hits the mainstream do you foresee any risks / issues with the influx of so much new interest? I'm less interested in the positives because I think they get a lot of airtime, but feel free to address those too 👌

Re: Millennials are beginning to choose jobbaticals over jobs and bar tips

Thanks Paul - great interview post!

Karoli - all my friends are ditching their homes for permanent travel. Are we seeing a trend that "jobbaticals" might become our generations "work commute"?

That's excellent to hear. We run Girl Geek Academy as a side project, but there's five of us. The balance of skills and workload is perfect for now, and your insights on growth are what I'm feeling about us expanding... our little cocoon is pretty safe right now haha. It's good to learn so I can follow :-)

This made my heart glow. Thanks Didier :-)

...and negatively?

Culture Amp has four cofounders. This is quite unique. How do you think having more cofounders has impacted culture, both early on and over time?

Re: AMA - Didier Elzinga | Blackbird Ventures

Sarah Moran — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 16:34:46 -0000

Culture Amp's Melbourne team has grown within Inspire9 (and I think now Foundry9). How do you think working in a coworking space, among other companies and individuals, has impacted the culture of Culture Amp?

Re: lalalara: A few things I learned in 2012

I'm glad you published this. I'm less impressed at myself for not being there for you when I felt you going through the rockyness - and I have no good reason to have not been (I despise saying "I've been busy"). I think 2013 will be the year you reap what you sow (literally and figuratively) - there's some good seeds in this post La!

I also had no idea (ok, someone had mentioned ships and boats and round the world, but not the full story!) Amazingness.

Re: Career bucket-list

Sarah Moran — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 02:36:37 -0000

I think about it a lot. I add things quite often. Found out yesterday you can have a Masters in Backpacking. No joke.

I don't know why your pic comes up next to mine. I have confused something in the disqus!

It's weird about having the list then having to re-make it. I think I'm nearly at that point, and agree the other things I'm biding my time for.

I had a massive list of things I wanted to do while I was still a young person, because I knew there was funding for young people to do stuff.

Now I don't feel much different in terms of seeking adventures, but there's no deadline now I'm over 25.

Working anywhere in the NT would be a great experience. I want to know what else exists in part 2... because I feel it in my waters that it starts soon!!!

Hey Alana! Good luck with your blogging. I just always assumed that quote about missing 100% of the shots you never take was about basketball. Good to see it used this way :-)

Great minds think alike. I am concerned for your bowels right now...

Sarah Moran — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 09:31:19 -0000

I'm from Australia, I'm 26 and will live in a dog house sized apartment with 22 year olds and ridiculous rent - the adventure calls to most of us because it's a life investment. You get what you live for.

Re: My thoughts on Jumo

Sarah Moran — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 02:58:41 -0000

I agree that we should hold judgement. Realistically, this is a recruitment phase: those who care about causes, let's have a crack at this... let's openly discuss what might work to address this. Deploy the product then develop as we go according to user feedback. Isn't that what we're all being told to do these days? Start lean and innovate as we go?

Meh, it could flop, but I've got my optimistic hat on. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

Re: Words that you social media and agency types need to stop killing

Sarah Moran — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 05:16:40 -0000

Oh noes! It's the end of the interwebs! I wonder if maybe we could just learn these words in French and drop them into conversation? We'd sound more fancy at the very least.
