This is my one-hundred-ninety-fourth weekly reflection. Here are my takeaways from this week:

• Shopify – Chatting with the Shopify CEO this week was amazing. His focus on helping people achieve independence through entrepreneurship stuck with me. Entrepreneurship is a force for economic mobility, and there’s a big opportunity to build products that help other entrepreneurs succeed.
• Events – I met some impressive people at events in Atlanta this week. I want to be more thoughtful in 2024 about attending interesting non-tech events.
• Countdown – There are two calendar weeks left in 2023. With essentially one business week left, everyone’s making a mad dash to get anything still open wrapped up.

Week one hundred ninety-four was another week of learning. Looking forward to next week!
