My favorite people are the those who ask questions about how things work, whether it’s about tech or people or any random topic, and also can articulate their world view plainly. I love curious and thoughtful people.
Catch up lunch with LK the other week and per usual we’re going deep on work life balance and strategy, when she abruptly stops a current train of thought and asks me something to the effect of:
LK: Why are you such a jock? You think in a way that is similar to the way I do, competitive, strategic.
ME: Because I was a jock? I also played competitive individual sports growing up. Tennis remember?
LK: Oh ha, yes. My husband doesn’t think tennis is a real sport so I forgot about that.
These are the kinds of conversations that linger in my head. I had never before associated the term “jock” with strategy in such a positive way before.
