In the spirit of a picture = a thousand words, I'll let this one be its own long-ass caption. @thisisauthentic ❤️
And thank you @jillplatner for once again capturing a sweet moment
So this happened. Thank you @designleadershipnetwork for the warm welcome...
For Joshua Liberson (@jliberson ), founder and CEO of Dobbin (@dobbinai ), leadership starts with paying attention.
He pushes his team to look closely—at what people are saying, what’s actually happening, and what’s real. For Joshua, that kind of awareness is what leads to better decisions and clearer direction. It’s also what shapes his perspective on AI: not as a replacement for people, but as a tool to support them.
Thank you, Joshua, for showing that strong leadership is built on attention, clarity, and a deep respect for people. #DLNLeadershipFiles
I am stunned to report that the person next to me in this photo is my wife, aka @thisisauthentic . If you see her today you should sing her happy birthday. She will not be mad about it. She is never mad about someone singing her happy birthday. And yes. This is what 60 looks like when you are Brooke Williams. Also shoutout to the nice people at the bar at @lecrocodilebk this morning who brought her a slice of banana bread with a candle. Happy birthday amazing human.
The great @raaaskin is back in business with his agency @wearehyperbolic .
Obviously they need a Dobbin.
There's this fantastic moment explaining how Dobbin works and how the system is built to see the world through the lens of your company when some people's eyes light up and they get it. Ohhhhhhh, their face says for a sec, right, my company is more than the amalgamation of all my information, it's got a core, an ethos.
And then magical moments like this happen.
Ladies and gentlemen I give you the world's first testimonial from someone before they've even used Dobbin.
Life update. Last summer I started a new company with @joonasm and @tkromelis . Dobbin.ai. Dobbin is a force multiplier that breaks the endless bottlenecks that lurk everywhere in work. Today, Joonas and I went into the woods to do some thinking and wound up having a magical Dobbin moment where we captured an idea in video, had Dobbin review it and extract the next steps, and within a minute shared it with our head of design and we're off to the races. We've been analyzing the data of how people are working with their Dobbins. And it's clear that Dobbin is basically being "hired," over and over, to bridge gaps in both information and resourcing. You have an idea, it needs to get fleshed out, turned into a plan, whatever. That's the first few jobs. And because Dobbin ALWAYS sees the world through the lens of your business and strategy, it's able to take an unstructured thought and turn it into something actionable. And because it works with you in Slack, it's immediately available for the rest of the team to work with, think about, whatever. And this is how you get velocity and win.
I'm not sure who the person is in the tux but the person in the custom white dress from Benjamin Cho is definitely my wife. 23 years. Not too shabby @thisisauthentic
