📕 The one book I always recommend to other leaders is… High Output Management by Andy Grove. It applies an engineer's systematic thinking to team leadership, clarifying the principles behind effective management practices.

🤖 A digital product/solution I can't live without now is… Claude.ai has become indispensable for my work and life. While I always write first drafts to maintain my perspective, I rely on it for editing suggestions and occasional brainstorming. Its versatility extends beyond work – from helping plan travel itineraries to refreshing my math skills for helping with my children's homework!

🏠 The digital product or solution that doesn't exist now, that I hope will one day… A true home services orchestrator. I envision an AI-powered solution that manages all home maintenance – from plumbing to repairs. Imagine just saying, “Fix my leaky faucet,” and having it automatically find a vetted provider, schedule based on your calendar, and handle all the coordination.

⚽️ My favorite way to recharge after a long day is… Watching my three teenagers' school and sports events – it's the perfect way to switch to family mode. When I'm not cheering from the sidelines, you'll find me on the soccer field myself.

📺 The last tv series I watched and loved is… A Series of Unfortunate Events – watched it with my family and loved its witty, darkly optimistic tone. Perfect for all ages. (Though I'd also say Breaking Bad was brilliant – just not exactly family-viewing material!)
