#ad The true story of the 100,000 person company that built and supports 900,000 miles of network infrastructure with nearly 500 million connected devices on it, and how one employee used it to define “life unlimited” for themself #spectrumpartner #lifeunlimited @Spectrum
#ad 1 piece of content a day, just about every single day, for 4 years while working my executive-level corp job. still can’t believe this all really happened. how fun and wild to go back to Spectrum and collaborate with my old boss on this sponsored video. all the feels going back in, but the story remains true. if you really want to get stuff done, and love building things off the side of your desk while doing your best with what's on your desk, it's all possible when you’re able to always stay connected to what matters to you most #lifeunlimited #spectrumpartner @Spectrum
you did this, tiktok ❤️ y’all are the ones that encouraged me to survive my first marathon back in ‘22 and cheered for me in person more than i could have fathomed that year… then last year you showed up bigger and stronger somehow 💪 this year i had no time goal and just went based on how i felt, and i felt your energy out there to the point of being teary eyed which kelly can attest to i can never thank y’all enough everyday, but especially on this sunday in particular 🗽❤️🏅 love you love, timm
on this day the city can actually lift you up on it shoulders and carry you 🗽❤️ 36 minute pr, smh 4:26 ⏩ 3:50 i cannot thank you all enough for today, and for showing Kelly what its been like for me running with y'alls encouragement over the past two years love y’all more than i could ever express
lets go have all the fun and eat all the snacks together ❤️ i love you, kelly jane ps - sorry i forgot about the charity thing for project healthy minds, no sushi for a while unless this goes viral but it was worth it, and you know i hate asking people for favors
thank god i was dumb enough to put in all those hours and the endless amounts of keystrokes and have no expectations of what was going to come of it. i did not know exactly what it was building towards, and up until the last year at my former job i would have bet a million dollars that if i ever left my company it would be for another company, never for myself. i say this because i know sometimes it feels useless to do all the extra work at your day job. like, why would you do all that extra stuff “for the man” regardless of what you might be making, right? who would work for a bit every morning at 4am, 7 days a week, for over a decade? why would anyone want to raise their hand to lead one more project, one more offsite, one more budget deck, or do all those agendas for everyone else, every week? and have the patience to get crapped on at times along the way? not get the next job even when you are already acting in it and still muster up the ability to keep putting in all those hours for another 4 years? i did all those things for the last 11 years at a pretty high level. and i did them in different ways for about 12 before that and here is what i was able to walk away with: core competencies that include the following and while i do not have a bachelors degree i can say i was schooled by ABC Sports, raised in ESPN Customer Marketing & Sales and got my doctorate in executive experience at Charter Communications, better known as Spectrum. you all were kind enough to start following me here at somepoint even though i didn’t know what i was doing with these posts, but i loved making them for you and me. then i got to walk away from corporate america with all that experience and those skills in my pocket. what i am doing now is hitting into all of this, but now i get to chose what i want to work on, and get to extract all the value i built into my resume on my own terms. as i say as much as anyone will let me say it out loud, ANYTHING I CAN DO, YOU CAN DO BETTER IF YOU WANT TO!!! that is why i tell you all of this, i just want you to know whats possible. the last 11 years in particular were insanely hard and i cant believe i did it for so long, but man was it all worth it in ways i would have never fathomed. thank you for giving me this chance, here is the resume i bring to the table and you are welcome to anything in it that i can teach you. •team architecture & reorganizations •brand & creative strategy and execution •budget building and precision p&l management •customer journey & customer segmentation •process development & role clarity •scrum management •data mining •viral content creation & storytelling •analytic & emotional intelligence •marketing technology, including ux/ui •cross platform marketing •writing & communication •humility
welcome to our home in Brooklyn we bought it in 2008 after it had sat abandoned for 15 years it was owned by the same family for decades, one of the grown children bought it from their parents then passed away at an early age, sometime in the early 1990s after she passed, no one knew what to do with it as the rest of the family had already moved out of new york city it sat abandoned from 1993ish until 2008, and during that time, it was looted for copper and was both a home for feral cats, and it was an actual crack house for a minute, or so we have been told we were looking at a condo down the street and saw a 'for sale' sign on the front door, written in pencil i stumbled upon a listing for it that weekend in the ny times print section i could not believe the asking price, keeping in mind it was 2008 and the financial world had fallen apart the family just wanted to get rid of it and stop paying taxes on something no one was living in so, for the same price as the condo down the street that was just one floor of a similar house, we bought an entire house even though it was completely unlivable back in 2008 it took 3 years to close on the house, get the loan, permits, do the construction, and we eventually moved into it in 2011 i never worked from home, ever, not even during the pandemic being home everyday now allows me to fall in love with this place all over again i took these pictures on thursday morning, october 24th just before dawn hope you enjoyed them, i look forward to sharing more “house content” now that i feel like i really live here again love, timm & fam
i thought i read it wrong at first, and that’s kelly’s blind reaction to it in their too there is a massive discrepancy to be addressed here which is i will continue to work with TearThePaperCeiling.org as my ongoing passion project to help drive more awareness about all things STAR related and the paper ceiling #AdCouncilPartner #HireSTARs #PaperCeiling #TearThePaperCeiling #OpportunityatWork #adcouncil #creatorsforgood
#ad 3-ingredient protein pudding - 30g protein, 20g carbs, under 300 calories i cannot believe its been 4 years since i first shared my three-ingredient protein pudding with you; so wild how much has changed, and how much is the exact same shoutout to @DrinkOrgain for helping me bring it back to life! the Justin’s collabs are chronic, but any of Orgain’s protein powders will work perfectly for this, you just won’t get that pudding texture with about any other mix super proud to be an #orgainpartner to bring this back after all these years
a story from 2 years ago that i hope helps anyone who feels stuck, doing anything on the side can help so much even if you have no idea where its going ❤️
my answer in the moment: LFGM God is it outrageous, but also the most freeing thing you could do for yourself if you can do it. I don't know what your personal/family circumstances are, but for me, the obvious hang-up was both the initial transition and also, "holy shit, what is it going to be like when I'm 52?" I haven't been asked this question from someone at your level yet, so this is a very unscripted, in-the-moment initial food for thought list. - There were tens, if not hundred of thousands of adults that over the course of moden time have been able to go from corp to self and survive, so there is solace in "this is definitely not an impossible task" - If they can do it, why can't you (think of everyone out there that you follow, or know of in the public eye that had to figure out their own health insurance; as an example for this one) - Build as much of this business on the side as you can while working your current job, if at all possible (i just did the work over and over again for 4 years until it became a "do it now or die with regrets" moment in time for me) - My biggest mistake was not creating a 30, 60, 90 day plan for myself on the other side of this; i spent so much time reorging the department for what it would look like without a backfil for me that i left and then started everything from scratch again which made it way more stressful than needed for the first 60 days, espeically from a content creation perspective - Build a general business model for the life you want to have (mine was break even with the corp job), and then put it in the corner and just go do great work; i feel like if i chased deals and people i'd be screwed, i'm still just trying to make the most of every opportunity like i did when i was 27 or even 42... - Be comfortable with being wholeheartedly self-confident in this (again, not the first people to ever do it, kill it, and have fun doing it, so why not you too); i am still not there yet but i'm trying to get better and just be okay with being worth what i am getting in return hope that made some sense and helped, just a total rant of an answer before i go back to editing cheers and godspeed, keep me posted
