One of my favorite conversations this year with @yusuf_i_mehdi , where I got to hear all about his past three decades at @microsoft , the evolution of technology, how AI is reshaping our relationship with work and creativity, and what the next 50 years might look like.
Another exclusive interview on my LinkedInš
Grateful to Microsoft, Yusuf, and the team at Edelman // Assembly for creating spaces where conversations like this can happen.
Got the privilege to sit down with @linkedin ās COO, Daniel Shapero, to talk about creativity, leadership, and AI, and how his journey as a creator (aka a public-facing executiveš¤³) has helped LinkedIn build deeper connections at work that directly impact the companyās growth.
Full interview on my LI duhhhš
Grateful to LinkedIn & the team at Edelman // Assembly for creating spaces where conversations like this can happen, where tech, storytelling, and leadership intersect.
From being broke living in a tiny studio infested with roaches to (nearly 7 years later) being honored for my entrepreneurship journey by my partners at @microsoft in TIMES SQUARES!!!!
Grateful is an understatement. Someone bring me a tissue plsš„²

No blueprint? No problem, because we figure it OUTTTTT #MakinaMode
this period of my life is something i do not talk about a lot
my dad was going through one of his biggest life transitions caused by diabetes in which he lost half of his leg and would later on lose half of his other foot - all of this while i was unable to leave the country (bc i was undxcumented) to go see him so i had to fight this battle with him through the phone
this was my introduction to adulthood if iām honest
it changed me
i now prioritize a healthy body and mind
and a group of people that love me
and a business that i am excited by and that i have fun in over the billion dollar unicorn and over the networking events that drain me
i now know what is important
i cannot believe that my older brother and my mother had to deal with all of this on their own back home
i am just so grateful for Panama and its medical care that was able to save my dad especially the hospital Santo Tomas
even though this happened about 2-3 years ago it is something that i do not wish upon anybody especially in your early twenties when you are already overwhelmed by daily life and changes and identity shifts, shit was hardš„²
anyway, grateful weāre on the other sideš
