Sometimes networks just appear. Recently, my career took a branch, having been pulled into a downsizing vortex of layoffs with many, many others. As a result, we wound-up quickly reconnecting together in a online community of support and information sharing.
Not wanting to see so many of these talented people I’d worked with on the sidelines, I posted about their talents and roles on socials and LinkedIn. The positive response has been more than I expected - specifically from some amazing people I’d worked with many moons ago. As a result, some of the people from one era of my career are looking out for those from another. It’s been really kind of amazing.
It’s also leading to reconnection and new conversations – learning about the amazing adventures of past colleagues and friends and their current pursuits. Hopefully, I can do better at staying in touch and it may just lead to some new collaborations across all these amazing professional tribes.
Thanks for reading!
Recently
Movie: “The Godfather” and “The Godfather: Part II” (AppleTV+) – It’s been awhile since I watched these classics. I saw them in the line-up and started a rewatch.
Television: “Fallout” (Amazon Prime) – Video game adaptations can be very hit or miss – this one is definitely a “hit.” The vibe of the game is intact, while also telling a compelling story with plenty of gore and humor.
Music: “Journey into Melody” by Sam Fonteyn. One of the songs on the Fallout soundtrack. A throwback to 60’s music.
