Perhaps the most abused and misunderstood word in the creative world is ‘strategy’ What does it even mean to be ‘strategic?’ @andybudd breaks it down in a way that no one else could. Do read.
A few days ago I celebrated my ten year anniversary as a blogger. To celebrate I decided to write the story of my career over the last decade and the roads that led me to my recent decision to leave my full time role with Etsy.

Still love this ravpower charger. Have been using it as my main travel charger for 18 months. 45W seems to be a sweet spot for power and size. This is the most portable, flattest charger I’ve been able to find:
