Final push

It’s the last day of the quarter and we’re all spent and exhausted. Needless to say, I’m excited to wrap up today and tomorrow morning then take the rest of the week off. I told the team that they should follow suit.

Unfortunately, there’s still a ton of things I need to get through. While none of these things are urgent per se, getting everything to a really good spot will allow me to freely take the week off. It’s never really a vacation when you have work on your mind, so it’s best if I just power through the next day and get things to a good spot.

With the way this quarter has gone, it’s evident that it’s time to start the hiring conversation once again. It was part of this year’s plans to add to our team, but unfortunately with the way the macro environment was, we wanted to thread carefully. It was the right decision at the time.

Lots has changed in the last 1-2 quarters though. We are seeing IPOs come back. Secondary activity is picking up. We have powered through with an efficient and lean team, but it’s time to start planning on growth again.

For now though, I’m going to drink some coffee and power through my remaining checklist.
