Kaaterskill Fall(s)
About 90 minutes north of NYC, thereās this gem of a waterfall that is a veritable leaf-peepinā hotspot loved by locals and day-trippers alike. Nestled among the iconic, bucolic Catskill Mountains, Kaaterskill Falls is worth a visit, at least once, and definitely in the fall.

Broad Strokes
Depending on the organization and its structure, exactly where direct Lifecycle Marketing responsibility begins and ends can be a gray area. In some cases, Lifecycle Marketing is entirely or in part referred to as Customer Marketing. This discipline largely overlaps with Lifecycle but, in practice, is often much narrower in scopeāfocused more on the product or its specific features versus the whole of the customer experience. Some schools of thought include pre-conversion audience touchpoints under Lifecycle, while others view pre-conversion as a completely different (though related) area.
ā¹ļø For this brain dump of a post, Iām focusing on Lifecycle in terms of post-signup touchpoints, only.

Thereās a small hill behind our house that is apparently the site of a literal foxhole. š¦
Currently residing within is this adorable skulk of fox pups, a discovery I made just before dusk this evening. Though I didnāt get close to them, they didnāt appear in any way bothered by my presence (or my oblivious goldendoodleās persistently frenetic bounding about). If anything, the kits seemed curious.

I delivered an impassioned speech about why the phrase “you get what you pay for” isn’t just lip serviceā it’s at the core of attracting and cultivating excellence. And to be clear: compensation comes in many forms, not just cash money.

Sometimes I get pulled into this overwhelmingly sober headspace where I’m like, “time is a construct, what is even reallllll.” Seriously ā sober. Then nature pulls something simple yet awe-inspiringā like pushing along those yearly blooms on my weeping cherry tree, and those thoughts are replaced with something more like, “nature is beautiful, and the perception of time facilitates its appreciation.” Which, okay is a bit stream-of-consciousness-y and might not totally follow, but whatever.
