Hey #hachydermians I took some time to write down some of my thoughts on corporate accounts and product marketing.

Lesson from transgender transition:

Reconciling a Twitter identity with the fact that Twitter is likely going bankrupt or at least is going to turn into Fox News is going to take time.

We must be patient. We must be supportive. We must love people for who they are.
