Last week, I hosted Operator's Backstage, a fireside chat and mixer for tech founders, CxOs, and operators in NYC. It was an absolute blast 💥 Our theme was 'Navigating Your Business and Career Through Adversity'. My co-host Simon Zhou and I had the honor of moderating an extraordinary panel of founders and C-level execs to discuss critical topics such as: ✅ Navigating co-founder breakups ✅ Pivoting your business model under challenging macro conditions ✅ Evolving existing company culture ✅ Hiring rockstar operators who raise the bar (and how to stand out as one in your next job search) ✅ Positioning yourself for a promotion within your company We worked hard to create a unique space to move beyond the usual 'LinkedIn flexing' and openly shared some of the setbacks we've faced in our careers and the lessons we've learned from them. Grateful for our panelists - 1. Steven Wang - Founder and CEO of dub (Harvard dropout backed by CEO of Uber and co-founder of Robinhood) 2. Cyrus Karai - Co-founder and CEO of CoverForce (backed by Nyca Partners, QED Investors, co-founder of Plaid) 3. Angela Crossman - Chief People Officer at multi-billion dollar startups like Dragos, Inc., Brex, and Noom 4. Michael Landsberger - Chief Product and Growth Officer at Pumpkin (pet insurance startup acquired in 2023) Big thank you to everyone who joined us at the event and TECH WEEK by a16z for featuring my first-ever NY Tech Week event 🗽 If you'd like to stay updated on future events, follow me, Tushar Rawal, and subscribe to Savvy Operator (link below👇🏽), my free newsletter and community for hundreds of founders, COOs, and BizOps leaders.

I recently had the privilege of spending time in Florida visiting some fantastic clients – veterinary clinics across the Panhandle down to Bradenton! It was truly inspiring to see the incredible work they're doing for animals and the dedication of their staff. 🩺 🐾 🐱 These clinics consistently impressed me with the expertise and compassion of their teams. From providing top-notch care to ensuring everything runs smoothly, the level of commitment was truly remarkable. 🐶 The long hours and hard work veterinary professionals put in don't go unnoticed. They face unique challenges every day, and their unwavering dedication to animal health and well-being is truly commendable. 💙 I'm grateful for the opportunity to have connected with these amazing clinics and their passionate staff. They are the backbone of animal care in Florida, and I'm proud to work alongside them! #veterinarian #vetlife #florida #animalcare #floridapets #floridaveterinarian #pets #dogsofflorida #catsofflorida #petinsurance #pumpkinpets
