Kan Chen shared thisHow many of you TRULY love your role that you're in and colleagues you work with? If your answer is "No" here, don't underestimate the importance of doing the right thing with right people in your life. The average person will spend 1/3 of their lifetime at work. If you are unhappy at work, your life will likely be an unhappy one. We deserve better, don't we? I've been in a position where I wasn't motivated by my role, or fully supported by my colleagues or bosses at times. And when I wasn't happy at work, I wasn't a happy person. So I started thinking about going to a place where I can check all of the following: A. Am I great at this job? B. Do I enjoy doing it? C. Am I adding value to the community that I care about by doing it? D. Do I have supportive colleagues and bosses, and do I support them? E. There aren't major negatives (low pay, long commute or hours, etc.) F. Does the company culture support my lifestyle (unlimited PTO, flexible work arrangements, etc.)? As a Talent Acquisition Manager (A, B, C) at YipitData (C, D, E, F), I can check every single box and my job satisfaction is at 100%. :) Think about it. And if you can check A & B but are looking for a place where you can check off the rest - consider YipitData!

It seems so mundane but it’s quite remarkable really – a 🇩🇪 crossing the English channel from 🇬🇧 to 🇫🇷 in a train 🚄. Europe’s alive 🇪🇺❤️! Sometimes you just have to appreciate the little things we take for granted. (Obviously, like in Germany, the Wi-Fi didn’t work. Made me feel right at home ❤️DB) The Eurostar really is an interesting project: ⏰ Connects London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord in as little as 2 hours and 16 minutes. 📈 Carried ~8 million passengers between Paris and London in 2024. 🚄 Reaches speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on the high-speed lines. 👥 A single 400-meter-long train can carry up to 900 passengers. 📏 The tunnel is 50.5 km (31.4 miles) long. 🌊 Features the world's longest undersea section at 37.9 km (23.5 miles). ⬇️ At its deepest point, it is 75 meters (246 feet) below the seabed. (kind of scary to think about it but it passes in a flash) Also, it’s on time! 90% punctuality, pretty good! Anyway, makes me proud to be European and happy to be able travel London to Paris in ~2 hours to see my Pan-European team. Carry on.

Kan Chen liked thisKan Chen liked thisI spent the last two weeks running around Seattle working in these new kicks (they’re Hoka Mach 4’s btw). I also snagged YipitData’s VP of Marketing role. Here are the top three reasons I thought this was the best fit for me: Speed: The company is growing, and fast. Won’t dive into too many details here, but dang, the future is bright. Kudos to all of those who came before me to get this company to where it's at today. Hat’s off. Team: Hands down, the most impressive element. When I look around and see the executive layer that James Hart and Vinicius Vacanti have pulled together. Nothing short of inspiring. Still pinching myself that I’m a part of it. Product: Extra sticky with all of the value a Marketer could dream of. A content engine ready to be lit up with a wild amount of potential. Starting a new gig comes with all of the unknowns, excitement and baggage that you’d expect, but there have been some profound learnings along the way (more on that in my next post:)). In the meantime, I’m feeling grateful, humbled and in the mood to tear it up! As Oprah says, “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity”. I’m feeling prepared and ready to take on this incredible opportunity, shoulder-to-shoulder with a wildly talented team. So excited:) Lauren Kaufman Witten Nina Fletcher Jordan Milan Stephen Lento Stephen Luban Isaac Wyse Steve Pulec @tomruello @jamiemelzer @ericlesser @danpellegrinelli Travis Wittenburg Nico Wada Tingting Wang Laura Rottingen @jillianvancalcar Lisa (Ramirez) Ames David Garcia @jamesmoran
