My sister, a rising junior in college, was super lost. She booked a one-way to SF, and moved into a founder's house two weeks ago. I haven't seen her this locked in/happy in a while. Another moment that proves to me how important it is to surround yourself with the right people.
I actually love receiving really really good cold emails, I think it's super underrated. Our first customers were all from cold emails. Got my first job from a cold email.
Things cold emailing got me:
- my PE internship freshman year
- Cohosting an event with Lewis Hamilton's foundation (F1 7x world champion)
- My first 10 customers
just some highlights, insanely underrated.
I wake up, grab a cup of coffee and Donna gives me the news:
- What's going on at the company? (aka what needs my attention)
- What's my urgent to-do list?
the same way she made Harvey a super-lawyer she'll make you a super-CEO...

Donna: Done. โ
