Replace unnecessary meetings with async voice messages you can share, read and react to.
🇫🇷 - 🇺🇸 Entrepreneur
📍 I am the father to 4 beautiful 👶🏻 New Yorkers and those are the things that keep me on my knees:
👉 All things productivity: How to do more with less
👉 EQ: IQ is a thing of the past, let’s all be more mindful of everyone’s feelings
👉 Education: Our kids are being raised in a tough environment (social media, climate, etc), let’s fight with them
