Tuned into a @lunchclubai fireside chat with @ariellezuck today!

Let me just start with —

She seems like *the* coolest person in any given room & I& #39;d jump at the opp to talk to her (she& #39;s a partner at Coatue, skiis & is a real-life DJ...like c& #39;mon guys)

ICYMI thoughts belowhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
On Diversity & Inclusion when building something new:

Think of it like a form of debt; we can have financial debt, technical debt, etc. — we can also have D&I debt

So when you& #39;re a new co/business, you can& #39;t have it all; you& #39;re going to have to make some tradeoffs
D&I cont& #39;d

You cannot ignore it (D&I or any other lesser priority), but you reframe it as —

"I& #39;m choosing to target X right now and I *acknowledge* & *choose* to take on this Y debt & I will have to come back and address it later"

& then, you DO need to go back and address it
On regret minimization as a framework —

It would be great to minimize regrets/not dwell, but the point was made:

You& #39;ve got to keep living your life and doing things

There may be some things you wish you did a better way /differently, but you learn & keep moving forward https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts">
Cont& #39;d

Arielle said she& #39;d get all cozied up for bed, then get flashes of everything she& #39;d ever said, dashing the hope of peaceful beauty sleep (I can 100% relate)https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😴" title="Schlafendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schlafendes Gesicht">

The only regret she had was switching to snowboarding from skiing at age 10, which she went on to do for 8 yrshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏂" title="Snowboarder" aria-label="Emoji: Snowboarder">
You have to recognize you can& #39;t have it all

"You& #39;re not like Hermione Granger with the time-turner that you can just go back" @ariellezuck

Good thing to keep in mind: always forward, never back

p.s. I& #39;m a sucker for HP refs still, sorry not sorry
DID I MENTION SHE& #39;S A DJ?

and an awesome one at that, you should check out her tunes!

She& #39;s an electronic DJ who& #39;s played sets at Burning Man (!!!) and while she has a record player, she doesn& #39;t typically use that for DJing https://twitter.com/ariellezuck/status/1170385449845583872?s=20">https://twitter.com/ariellezu...
I really dig this set & have it playing in the background rn: https://soundcloud.com/ellenride/sets/elle-jerrod-samuels-burning

Everyone">https://soundcloud.com/ellenride... loves music & she& #39;s v much in-the-know, the topic of ~MUSIC IN THE PANDEMIC ERA~ came about

Virtual zoom music listening & dance parties were all the rage during early pandemic
These dance parties came in all shapes & sizes, but often, a DJ streamed on Twitch while people would have personal Zoom parties concurrently

+ dance circles, people in the "spotlight" & all creative forms of funhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💃" title="Woman dancing" aria-label="Emoji: Woman dancing">

Twitch as a platform for music took off https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete"> & is here to stay https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎶" title="Mehrere Musiknoten" aria-label="Emoji: Mehrere Musiknoten">
As quarantine went from weeks-on-end to months-on-end, with no definite end date in sight, people are def missing something

No matter how creatively people have revived their (virtual) social life during COVID, there& #39;s no sub for irl

Still, DJ streams aren& #39;t going anywhere https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎵" title="Musiknote" aria-label="Emoji: Musiknote">
Talked about the rise of tech innovation & audio/music connecting people (not only mid-pandemic but always)

@ariellezuck plugged @Mazzeo & @roadtrip_fm — "On it, you can create your own space & seamlessly go in between being in the foreground & background w friends & new people"
