5 years at Rippling. 4 President’s Clubs. 1 year of "asking for a friend" how the winners' trip was. 🌴 Approaching a half-decade at a rocket ship like Rippling is a wild milestone. While I’m thrilled to hit my 4th President's Club, I’m honestly just as grateful for the year I didn't make it. Nothing keeps you humble—or hungry—like watching your peers head off to a tropical beach while you stay home to re-read your "How to Close" books. That one "gap" year taught me more about managing a team through volatility than the four winning years combined. Here’s to the grit, the growth, and the occasional reality check. See y'all in Tulum 😎
