Frank Slootman: Be a Driver, Not a Passenger
Frank Slootman is the tough talking CEO of a fast growing company called “Snowflake”.  He recently wrote a book I am reading called “Amp it Up” about how to lead fast growing companies by “raising expectations, increasing urgency, and elevating intensity”.  One of this concepts is to make sure you and everyone on your team is a DRIVER not a PASSENGER.  Passengers are “dead weight”. They may be good at identifying problems, but not at solving them.  Drivers get their satisfaction from making things happen.  Faced with a challenge, he says drivers say “Why not” rather than “That’s impossible”.

Amazon Visa Card Gives back 5% on all Purchases? 
Okay so I may be late to the boat here, but I just heard that you can get a Visa Card in partnership with Amazon where you get 5% cash back. There is no annual fee.  That seems like a pretty good deal. I got the idea from reading Terence Michael’s book, Make Bank.  He suggests to just link the card right in your Amazon account.  It is like getting 5% off of everything! 
 
Have a great weekend! 

Best,
