Wow, that means a lot because sometimes I feel quite unthoughtful and uncurious when I read your excellent tweets!
Haven’t had any EA non-profits ask me about that. I still don’t have that much experience (only 1.5 years) in the grand scheme of things but would me more than happy to try to help anyone who thinks they could benefit from talking to me.
Overall I’ve become a lot more brave since working here. Just saying “look I’m 60% sure this will work, but we need to make a decision rather than waiting on this for 2 more weeks so let’s just go.” It doesn’t always work, but oftentimes acting and then learning and iterating if needed is better than waiting for the perfect decision. I’m lucky that my company environment is really good for that sort of approach—our CEO talks a lot about how we need to “be brave” and “be thoughtful but impatient”
