In looking to always improve as a team and individually we have been working to answer several questions with everyone from the team, one of the questions being: What’s been the most surprising thing about Stitch? I've gotten an array of answers as you'd expect, but several responses that I've received have been something to the effect of: "I feel more confident and knowledgeable with Braze than I ever did with (Insert older marketing platform here)." What a great testament to both Braze as a product as well as the Stitch team and how we rally around new team members, how we organize everything internally, and how we approach every day together. #braze #StitchAndBraze #AntiAgency #stitch

A sad day for lovers of new & delicious things. Food and beverage startups have been mourning the death of Foxtrot since Snaxshot broke the news of its closure last week. The Chicago-based grocer was a launchpad for innovative food and beverage products—a stepping stone on the path to scale. Food and bev is still heavily dominated by big, global players. Despite the internet's promise to democratize everything, the food and bev gatekeepers—ie, Big Grocery—continue to thrive. So Foxtrot’s demise isn’t just a blow to the suppliers left with unpaid invoices (and evidently there are many; this is utterly shameful). It’s a blow to all of us trying to slay Goliath; to build businesses from the ground up; and to help people imagine a more diverse, delicious and interesting world. All the more reason to support businesses like Pop Up Grocer, and independent grocers everywhere, which serve as vital showcases for new ideas. RIP, Foxtrot.
The news of Foxtrot's closure last week was devastating and my deepest empathy goes out to all those affected—to the employees, the brands, and all who partnered in bringing the retail concept to life, many of whom are my customers, peers, and friends. For me, personally, this has been the loss of a fellow pioneer. Since starting Pop Up Grocer in 2019, barely a day has gone by without the retailer coming up in conversation. Foxtrot was by our side in supporting emerging brands—often times, like us, serving as their very first shelf. Larger retailers have extremely high barriers to entry and independent stores have limited reach—these brands need somewhere of meaningful impact to go, quickly. And while their failure, for many, will simply help draw the conclusion that “small format”, “premium convenience,” and “emerging brand-first” doesn’t work. Or, as I’ve seen commentary here, “a lack of product/market fit,” I respectfully and sorely disagree. One must look closer. For us, I won’t pretend to be without challenges—the market has significantly changed since our start five years ago and this has impacted our brand partners as well as our own costs of doing business. But, we believe very much in the opportunity to serve these emerging brands and to provide a much-desired and unique experience for our customers—now, more than ever. If you are a brand looking for a shelf with high visibility, I hope you will reach out. And if you are interested in joining us in this pursuit—as an investor or other strategic partner—I would love to connect.

The best Slacks are the ones that make you smile. When Stitch COO Brian hits me up with "Our March pipeline is a thing of beauty," you know good things are happening! 🙌 After yesterday's metrics meeting, the excitement for this year is off the charts. We're not even two years old, and things are clicking. Curious about the numbers we track? We keep it sharp: Monthly Goals: ▪️ New deal pipeline (count and dollar amount) ▪️ Closed deals ▪️ Revenue and invoiced amounts Quarterly Goals: ▪️ Same as above, but rolling up the big picture We also review our company and department objectives every other week in addition to a set of rotating topics and open conversations. These are the most focused, no-nonsense meetings I've ever been a part of. Zero fluff, just direct questions and action plans to keep the momentum. I'm feeling another one of those big upward swings coming on. This kind of growth is a rush, and I'm so pumped for our team! 🚀 Know anyone interested in joining the Stitch team? We continue to hire! #Braze #StitchAndBraze #AntiAgency

Thats worth thinking about today. #acheconnect #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching #peakperformance #performancecoaching
One of the most serious problems for leaders today is lack of alone time for thinking & reflection. The CEO of Instacart Asha Sharma has a valuable practice: “Every day, she schedules a 15-minute meeting with herself so she can think, catch up, walk around or take a breather.” https://lnkd.in/du3aXKi2.
