Now Hiring, Again

Filed under: Brad Works

As the leader of two different teams for two different organizations, one of the things I always find myself doing--at least it feels like it--is looking for the right people to hire. From employee transitions to newly created roles, I am always on the hunt for the perfect catch and match. At present, there are 22 different people that I am responsible for across both of my teams at Personality and Foursquare, and I am down 5 people.

If you or anybody you know might be a great fit for these, pass them my way. Thanks!

Goodbye Israel, Hello Istanbul

Filed under: Life's Journey

Jamaica and I just finished traveling around Israel with about 15-20 of the convention staff. We had a great time unwinding from the convention stress and getting to experience the country. Jamaica has done the whole Israel touring thing once before, 13 years ago. I have been here three times in the last eight months to setup all the logistics for the event, so it will be nice to actually get outside beyond the convention center and hotel room.

Aside from the ferocious weather--120 degrees in some parts--we enjoyed learning about this historical land and its precious people. It doesn't take long to see why this region is so contested, not the least of which is because Islam, Judaism and Christianity all hold this place sacred!

Jamaica and I left the tour group this afternoon (they fly back to the U.S. tonight) and hopped a 2-hour flight to Istanbul. After a grueling wait in the customs line at the airport (hundreds of people, little air conditioning and two customs officials working!), we were on our way to the hotel. We're on the 12th floor of the InterContinental overlooking the Bosphorus Sea--the body of water that separates Asia and Europe, with Istanbul on both sides.

We're here until Monday and then we start our journey back home after stopping in New York for a few days.
