I liked the team I had built at Reonomy.
A friend had asked the ordinary question: was I enjoying the work? My answer came back to the people around me. We had built a great team in a large market, and I was excited about what the next few months might bring.
I had used a less formal description in another note. The group had a lot of horsepower.
That did not mean the path was settled. We had added a product and were moving into more markets. How that work performed would tell us more about the size of the opportunity. There were plenty of unknowns, and the team still had a long list in front of it.
The part I trusted was the group. People were focused. They were motivated. I loved the team we had put together and thought they had more in them than we had seen so far.
I kept the product details out of the note because they were not needed to answer the question. My answer did not hide the uncertainty. I liked the team anyway and wanted to find out what happened next.
Reonomy had work moving in several directions. The results would show which direction deserved more attention. I trusted the group to do the work and pay attention to what happened.
The coming months would show whether the new work had room to grow.
I closed by saying I was excited for the next few months. I meant it. I still liked going to work with that group.
