Hello From My Other Sides
The transcript scrolls itself. Just listen, and read along if you like.
Hello LinkedIn. I'd like to share a bit of my serious and silly sides if you have a moment.
This is out of character for me, to be both serious while finding my raw side.
Long form for me is a novella or short book, so using every char for comments and posts is normal for me. You've been warned and welcomed. I plan to fix this for the future by embedding accessibility
options into my blog and website. I'll record my blog posts so anyone can listen and read along with subtitles that auto-follow the audio. I tested this with my 72-year-old tech challenge
father who doesn't text. He was able to click the URL in an SMS and listen to 13 minutes of audio.
It took 30 minutes to write the prompt with breaks to think or attend to life,
then 30 minutes of unattended waiting for a swarm fleet of sub-agents to do what Fable 5 told them to do. When everything was built, tested, retested with chaos engineering in mind,
validated by other coding CLIs to be over 90% accepted, and then published to my blog via a
hidden path, I got a notification on my phone with a link to try it and share it with my dad.
AI is incredibly capable of many things, and I find it challenging, fun, and downright helpful in so many ways. Agentic workflows are life-changing. IFYKYK. Now, because we're here
on LinkedIn most of you have only ever met my serious side That side of me is awesome I have I spent so much of my life lovingly enjoying life serious side Never more than when it comes to my career because I been a leader since I was in my teens
and in every job I've ever liked, I've become a supervisor, manager, district manager, regional manager, interim, everything and anything needed and more. Also, in plenty of situations in life,
I've made sure my most serious side is present. From moments like weddings or funerals where seriousness is mostly expected, but there's also room for emotion, to less flexible situations like
family court or appearing as a witness for a former employee turned friend for life.
Unfortunately, sometime around the start of COVID, I forgot how to embrace the silly side of life enough to keep me balanced. Too much of my life demanded seriousness, and when I finally sat down
to rest, I had a barrage of personal notifications, life work such as bills, appointments, and anything
that's not meant to be restful, peaceful, or joyous. I've got a lot to say. I've got the skills and abilities to put out more written content than I know what to do with. I have a backlog of writing
that spans from the 90s to this morning. I've got handwritten steno pads and collections of sticky notes to process and turn into something more. This year hasn't been about any of that, really.
I've written notes. Sure. But it's been about rest, recovery, rebuilding the foundation of my life so
that my sleep might finally average more than four hours per night and finding a way to be joyous and silly. Goodbye for now, and hello from my other sides.

Now, because we're here on LinkedIn, most of you have only ever met my serious side. That side of me is awesome; I have spent so much of my life lovingly enjoying life's serious side.
Never more than when it comes to my career, because I've been a leader since I was in my teens, and in every job I've ever liked, I've become a supervisor, manager, district manager, regional manager, interim-everything and anything needed- and more.
Also, in plenty of situations in life, I've made sure my most serious side is present. From moments like weddings or funerals, where seriousness is mostly expected, but there's also room for emotion, to less flexible situations like family court or appearing as a witness for a former employee-turned friend for life.
