We had our team-wide All Hands earlier this week, and each month we celebrate the team anniversaries (we call them Bufferversaries) πŸŽ‰ It's so heartwarming to me that we have such a long tenured team. Can you believe there are 49 collective years put into building Buffer here?

My experience as a founder CEO has been that I go through alternating phases of feeling clouded, and then those clouds lifting and clarity around important decisions emerging. When the clouds have cleared, I feel in flow and focused and I can give direction to my team. Whenever
