Hi team,
First off, welcome @neekolas to the team this week! He comes to us from Brex.
This dispatch is coming out a day late because I wanted to rethink with the team how we communicate and share goals.
Going forward, we will review and define the goals as a team on Friday and will be shared every Monday in this update. These will be 2-3 high-level goals that we are aligned on as a team.
On that note, I wanted to reshare @saul's product roadmap again. It is such a great way to look at the path ahead.
Let's keep refining what our first release will be. Let's be clear on this as a team and please ask questions if you're not clear.
Have a great week everyone, Shane Mac

A week in the life with @neekolas
It was my birthday. As she has every year since I was a child, my mom made cupcakes. Theme is open to interpretation.
I live near Stanley Park, so I went for a few long walks with friends over the weekend. This picture is from a few weeks ago when we still had snow.
This is cheating the "week in the life" theme a little, but here's me and my girlfriend in LA from a few weeks ago.
