✅ Final Thoughts Friday for 2024-08-09
Week in review with my upcoming events, my SXSW panel submission, and my re-launch on fudge.org.
Looking back at the week with an eye to the future.
As a reminder, I’ve committed to four events for the remainder of this year. I’ve also submitted a final version of a panel to PanelPicker for SXSW 2025 voting but I won’t be speaking on a panel but might submit a solo talk — maybe.
- AI Field Day 5 in Silicon Valley September 11-12, 2024 for Tech Field Day
- Monktoberfest in Portland October 2-4, 2024
- Cloud Field Day 21 in Silicon Valley October 23-24, 2024 for Tech Field Day
- All Things Open in Raleigh October 27-29, 2024 for CLS
- SXSW in Austin March 7 - 15, 2025
Speaking of SXSW, I’m organizing an awesome panel with amazing speakers on an amazing topic. I’d appreciate you voting (registering to vote is free) for this panel.
This month, fudge.org Google Adsense is live. I’m excited to go deep into our increasingly connected world with “Fudge Factor”.

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
