One of the themes I’ve been reflecting on as we close the year is how companies can go beyond utility to create moments of delight for their customers. At Bird&Be, we’re operating in a space where the stakes are high—fertility journeys are deeply personal, often stressful, and require nuanced care. That’s why we see it as our responsibility to make the process not only effective but also supportive and uplifting. ✨ This month, we’re running a campaign where every purchase includes the chance to win a free prenatal subscription for a year. It’s a simple initiative, but one that embodies what we believe in: making fertility care feel more accessible, less heavy, and just a little more hopeful, especially during the holidays when emotions tend to run high. For us, this is about more than a customer promotion; it’s about reinforcing the kind of brand we’re building. I’d love to hear how others in the health and wellness space are thinking about creating impact and delight for their customers—especially in categories that are inherently challenging. #reproductivecare #customerengagement #healthandwellness

Today we are launching the first version of Queue on the web. Here's why you should care. https://www.queue.co. Over the last 2 years, millions of people all over the world have created their own Queues. These users have Queued and rated titles tens of millions of times, making Queue one of the largest dedicated movie and TV show review databases on the internet. Many titles on Queue have thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of user ratings! We realize we’ve created this massive amazing community that’s been gated behind a download and registration wall. It’s easy to get distracted by building apps with lots of bells and whistles and forget some of the basics. We’ve been hiding millions of insightful, clever, and funny reviews and streaming availability for hundreds of thousands of titles across 100+ countries and 400+ streaming services. Now it’s time for the rest of the internet to experience Queue. Queue users rate a title as dislike, meh, like, or love. For a quick assessment of popularity, we display a 0 - 100% Queue score, which is the percent of people that liked or loved that title. While sites like IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes and their respective scores certainly scratch certain itches when figuring out whether a title is objectively ‘good’ or not, we believe that the Queue score will become part of that conversation, particularly when you’re asking “what do you regular people like me actually think about this title?”. Queue was built for the everyday consumer, and you can feel that throughout the core UX both in app and on web. And unlike some of our peers who pull in outside ratings to buff their stats to make their zombie apps feel more busy (you know who you are…and a few of you even follow me and are reading this right now 😉) everything you see on the app and website originated from a real life person who created a profile on Queue. Our v1 of web is read only - we have lots of exciting things planned for web, including full registration and functionality coming in 2025. The next time you can’t figure out where to watch something, or want to see a *true* audience score for a movie or show to decide if it’s worth your time, I hope you’ll consider joining millions of others and use our website or app. See you there.

In 2013 I was not ready to found a company so I was looking for a role at an early stage tech startup that would let me have more ownership of the P&L, team and product direction. With some help from Jeremiah Daly, I met Oisin Hanrahan from Handy HQ about a GM role. Often described as a "mini-CEO" role, the General Manager role was a perfect combination of responsibility and challenge. And it's ultimately where I met my co-founder, Rebecca Greene, and learned of the challenges in contact centers that led to the founding of Regal.ai. I am so excited that we are hiring a GM for our AI Agent business now. They will report to me, and have a unique opportunity to deliver innovative AI solutions for our fantastic clients.
