Things I Believe
Culture isn't a perk — it's the operating system.
The best teams are built on trust, not process.
Listening is the most underrated leadership skill.
Structure should empower, never constrain.
People do their best work when they feel safe to fail.
Transparency scales better than hierarchy.
Small rituals build strong teams.
Every system is a reflection of the values behind it.
