Where I stand
1
No collaborating with chaos
I partner with clarity. Not confusion. Not ego battles.
I don’t sell time
I work until it’s right, not until the clock runs out.
Strong opinions
If your idea sucks, I’ll say so. If mine sucks, I’ll kill it myself.
Out of the circle jerk
No fake high-fives, just real impact.
