    Putting politics to one side, this is a good example of @AndrewYang building community: (1) a clear campaign, (2) simple way to participate, (3) clear recognition, (4) direct link to broader mission, and (5) building belonging in participants. It mobilizes a crowd effectively.
    For my #pledgeforHUMANITY I spent time sorting old sneakers. My coach is collecting 42,195 pairs for his native country, Zimbabwe. America gave him opportunities he didn’t have. Lets show that @AndrewYang and the #YangGang are not just great for America, but for the world! 1/

    People often ask me to share my slides. I usually don't. A good presentation is 90% speaker, 10% slides. Most of my slides have a single picture, sentence, or diagram. They make no sense without me waffling in the background. Slides alone lose all context. Am I being a grouch?

    I cannot believe it. I just called the police to report my neighbor trying to attach a jet engine to a deer. People will do anything to make a quick buck.

    I just noticed that on Spinal Tap @IMDB page, the number of stars goes to 11. Class act, IMDB, class act.

    Pro tip: don't invite me to connect to you on LinkedIn, then when I accept, spam me with your marketing messages. Accepting a connection is *not* opting in to your marketing list, it is creating a relationship. If you do this you will professionally infuriate people.

    13 years ago, @ericabrescia and I got married. We have been annoyingly chipper ever since. Our mantra is 'Team Bacon'. As we have created a family, grown our careers, and pursued new things, we have always done it together. Erica, I love you, and thanks for being so amazeballs.
