Trail Running 101
Trail running has become popular in recent years, offering a unique way to experience nature while providing a challenging workout. Did you know that trail running has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century?
A bit of history
Trail running, also known as mountain running, is a sport that involves running on trails or in the mountains, often over rough terrain and steep inclines. The sport evolved from cross-country running, which originated in England in the early 1900s as a way for athletes to train for long-distance running events.
In the US, trail running became popular in the 1970s as a way for runners to escape the city and explore the great outdoors. The sport grew in popularity in the 1990s with the establishment of trail running races and the formation of trail running clubs. Interesting fact: The number of organized trail races grew by 1,000% from 2008 to 2018 globally. It is a popular activity worldwide, with thousands of races and events occurring every year. The sport has evolved to include ultra-distance races, multi-day stage races, and even adventure runs that involve navigating challenging terrain and obstacles.

Radical Candor Book Summary
“Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity” is a book by Kim Scott that describes a management approach that combines caring and direct feedback.
I read it last weekend because I wanted to see what is similar to Meta’s management style.
The book argues that the best leaders can be “radical” in their directness and “candid” in their caring. The book provides tools and strategies for managers to implement this approach and create a culture of “radical candor” in their team. The main idea is that a leader should be able to give direct feedback, challenging the people they lead in a way that is both honest and kind, and at the same time, creating a culture of psychological safety where people can speak truthfully respectfully.
It all makes sense and is ‘easy to say – hard to do.’
Options Strategies
A few years ago, I had the honor of managing a hedge fund with my brother. We used to discuss what options and strategies we should leverage. It’s a known fact that if you buy and hold, you will improve your probability of being profitable.
However, if you are a hedge fund, you wish to use some options strategies to boost your profit when the market is going up, down, or sideways.
Options strategies can be an effective tool for investors looking to increase their return on investment. Many strategies have the potential for significant gains, but the plan with tremendous profit potential is often considered a long-call option.

Product Management – From Mission to Roadmap
When we are talking about a roadmap in the context of product management, we mean a shared source of truth that outlines the vision, direction, priorities, and progress of a product over time.
It’s a plan of action that aligns the organization around short and long-term goals for the product or project and how they will be achieved.
It is an essential tool for product planning and serves as a communication channel between product management and other stakeholders. Product managers need to understand how to create a product roadmap and how to keep it updated, and keeping it updated with reality is the challenging part.
As Mike said: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
Or in other version (popular in the army) – “No plan survives first contact with the enemy.”
That’s why we must invest in keeping it as close as possible to the changing reality.
