Michele Turner, your divine inkwell guided my words when I needed them most.

      To Damiana, I can't wait for you to blow this book out of the water – you are capable of that and more. Amo muito, querida.

      To Abby, I couldn't have gotten more fortunate to write a book while being trapped during a pandemic in a house with the best “hype man,” teenage whisperer, English teacher editor, and unequivocal supporter. Your spirit and intelligence echo in these pages.

      Everett is the CEO and co‐founder of Truss, a human‐centered software development company, named as an Inc 5000 fastest‐growing private company in 2020 and 2021. He has led a purpose‐driven, impactful, innovative company that's been remote‐first since 2011, salary‐transparent since 2017, and a diverse workforce that far exceeds standards for technology companies.

      He is a rare combination: a Black entrepreneur, with biomedical and electrical engineering degrees from Duke, an MBA and M.Ed. from Stanford, Silicon Valley startup pedigree, and management consulting at Bain. He has leveraged those experiences into a long track record for solving complex problems with social impact for millions of people, from helping fix Healthcare.gov, community development finance at Self‐Help, to fighting global poverty as a board member of CARE.

      Everett has a history of firsts: first in his family to college and the first to win a soccer NCAA National Championship for Duke University. He was inducted into the North Carolina Soccer Hall of Fame in 2019.

      Everett grew up a small‐town kid in New York's Hudson Valley. He currently lives in Oakland, California, making limoncello when life hands him lemons.

      July 7, 2016: Stand Up, Speak Up

      And then I realized: “I'm the employer.”

      This is what I wrote that afternoon to the Trussels, our employees.

      Many of my friends are “calling in Black today.” Much respect. For those who can't or who choose not to, it's a hard, hard day to grapple with two police murders of Black men while still maintaining our professional demeanor and standards of excellence. (Note: We do that every day. Today is harder.)

      If you have a work colleague who is Black, or who is connected deeply to these shootings, please read Ellen's article. We're all “whole people,” and understanding how trauma affects work can make this a better company for everyone.

      We can't have the benefits of a diverse and vibrant company without acknowledging when it gets hard. Today is one of those days for me, and “as an employer,” it feels awkward, challenging – and necessary – to address it. Personally, I'm exhausted, so I'm not up for engaging in conversation. But I can create a tone and a space where Trussels can engage without fear of reprisal, toxicity, or indifference.

      Let it be so. However you choose to engage, at minimum read Ellen's article, take a moment to reflect, and take care of each other.

Schematic illustration of a design.

      Once in a generation, there is an event that fractures our experience. The summer of 2020 offered three: protests against racial injustice, massive forest fires in the western United States, and a worldwide pandemic. We can't unsee the knee on George Floyd's neck, supernatural orange‐smoke skies, or the faces of intubated elders dying of COVID alone.

      Many of us had to respond to these unprecedented events and make decisions without guidelines or playbooks. Should we ask people to keep working while they're at risk of exposure to COVID? How do we support our teammates during the workday, while they are simultaneously acting as elementary school teachers to their children? Let's be honest – how many of us froze when we didn't know the answer to those questions? I know I did.

      But twenty‐first‐century problems like racial
