Fred Wilson shared one of Twilio’s values in his fantastic blog: No shenanigans.

The idea that thoughtfulness and care comes from honesty and directness: what you say and do is what you get. It really resonated with me — especially even outside a work context.

Trust is built when you can match your actions and intentions, when your agenda is open and clear with as little as surprises. You can feel so connected when you know you’re getting the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

So a call to myself: strive for less antics, less mischief. It’ll be worth it!
