I worked for Google and HubSpot, and I was miserable. I’ve also built startups nobody’s ever heard of and routinely make projects barely 100 people see. Yet those make me happy.

College mostly sold me one script: “famous brand = success.”

But that’s wrong. And not my script.

My friend and colleague, @rjonesx, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday. Russ was probably best known for his razor-sharp wit on Twitter, but he was a generous friend, loyal to a fault (even at work), and glowed with love for his family. I can't wrap my head around any of it.

Community isn't simply a marketing tactic. It isn't just marketing.

It can be used for your GTM and can enhance your other efforts but it should be integrated into each department.

Just as each department can touch customers, so each department can touch the community.

They’re unlearning:

> Old ways that don’t work anymore
