Hot Fudge Sunday 🤔 💡 🤯 🤓 is a free weekly newsletter containing a digest of the Hot Fudge Daily paid newsletter at fudge.org in a single easy to reach URL. This free weekly edition is posted every… wait for it… Sunday.
Mea culpa…
Last week I traveled to New York City for the BWG Strategy event at Midtown Loft & Terrace in Midtown Manhattan.
As a result, my daily writing mode was abbreviated as I was enjoying the many wonders of the city, trains, people, technology discussions, bodegas, and great food.

Milestones…
I’ve been non-IBM for 6 months as of this update and my clientele has grown steadily. Above all, I appreciate all the guidance, advice, and cheerleading from my fractional peers while proving to myself that even a 15 year break from running my own consultancy is just a number.
At the same time, hanging out my shingle again also means hearing about other opportunities along the way. While correlation isn’t causation, I’ve also noticed a slight uptick in recruiters activity.
Memories…
The best camera is the one you have. I still use the iPhone 13 mini and these are a couple of the better shots from last week.

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.
