this city is about to become terrible for brownstone owners. You should definitely sell your brownstone before everything falls apart. Just go go go, sell as fast as you can, don't wait for a good price, just sell it before the mob burns it down

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days. chicago.suntimes.com/immigra…

(!) with our team starting to close larger and more complex deals, @AmbrookAg is on the hunt for a founding sales lead. to date, we've grown to thousands of customers entirely without a formal sales team: everyone just learned how to do sales (including eng), and we built those learnings into a self-serve machine. now is the time to supercharge with sales! about you: - excited about building sales function from the ground up - strong track record of exceeding quota + energizing a team around you to do the same - highly creative, collaborative + curious - systems thinker, AI tool tinkerer - obsessed with data + a nice spreadsheet makes you feel more organized - mission-driven about reviving the American Dream - can look into the abyss and be fine, dare I say even exhilarated dm me if you're interested or know someone who could be a great fit
