Dear all,

It’s still the summer period here in Europe. When not many people are working, very few emails get sent, and some deep work can finally be done. That is, if you’re not on social media too much 😜.

About that, here’s a quick update on how I use social media these days:

  • 📉 I’ve been receding from using Facebook. I find it too polarized, with too many among my “friends” getting lost in endless disputes about politics. Above all, I’m trapped within my legacy network, which is VERY French and thus it’s difficult to grow more international in terms of focus, topics, and connections. You can read more on these ideas in this .

  • 📈 I’m back on LinkedIn. I deleted my account two years ago, again because I had f*** up building up my network (too many people to whom I wasn’t really connected), and LinkedIn was a terrible product at the time. I’ve recently decided to go back, rebuilding my professional network from the ground up. If we actually know each other professionally, please connect!

  • 📉
