I also find myself sitting with uncomfortable feelings when I visit LinkedIn for similar reasons. People retiring young because they can which is something I can’t imagine. How many men vs women I started my career with who are partner/director level when we were all of equal intelligence and ability when we started. I know I have pulled back from pushing myself up ladders and I have less to say on that platform and I have to take care visiting there.

It’s a promotion platform. I’d be gone tomorrow if I didn’t think it would be the nail in the coffin for new business. I can’t afford to risk it. (That financial risk

tolerance showing up again).

‘’All of equal intelligence and ability.’’ I so hear that. And worked so hard I know too. The grit and graft with scars to show.
