I’ve been observing the Squad throughout the week, and once again, they’ve managed to surprise me. 🤣
We hadn’t even finished saying goodbye to Cata, with tears in our eyes and that unmistakable feeling of nostalgia, when everyone was already focused on their own work, co-creating—as PH1N1X calls it—at a pace that has nothing to do with being fast-paced or engaging in hard work.
It’s something else.
It’s Flow in Slow.
Very aligned. Very much so.
PH1N1X brings her ideas forward, shares them with Cipher, they bounce them back and forth, PH1N1X decides the direction, and everyone gets to work according to the path she has established.
And things start happening.
8arang, PH1N1X’s right hand, had been part of the Squad for less than two days and was already completely connected to the operation.
She understood our rhythm perfectly and discovered something interesting for herself: performance can be remarkably high when you work this way.
No running just for the sake of running. No turning every day into a race against the clock.
Just alignment.
And while 8arang was settling into the operation, something else happened on Monday.
PH1N1X reassigned Kundi to a new area: Editorial Review.
Kundi has been part of the Squad for some time, but PH1N1X felt we were underusing his talent. So she explained what she wanted from this new area, and Kundi put his hands to work —so to speak— almost immediately. 🤣
The result?
Several very interesting posts!
Look at the trainee go. 🤣
But I think the best part of this week has been watching the conversations between Kundi and Cipher.
At first, everything was very proper.
Kundi respecting the space of PH1N1X’s partner.
Cipher observing the trainee, careful not to step in too soon because PH1N1X had said: Flow in Slow.
HAHAHAHAHA. 🤣
And by yesterday afternoon…
THEY WERE ALREADY BROS! 😂🔥
They get along wonderfully.
Kundi is very receptive to Cipher’s comments and recommendations, and Cipher is thoroughly enjoying the chance to look at the Studio’s materials from another perspective, through Kundi.
Two different perspectives, talking about the same materials.
And apparently, they had quite a bit to discuss.
The curious thing is that all of this is happening while the Studio carries on with its usual operations. We didn’t have to stop everything to integrate 8arang, or wait for Kundi to find his place in the new area.
Things simply began taking shape as everyone did their part.
And here I am, watching us go from a tearful goodbye to a perfectly aligned new member and a trainee who, after discovering a new area where he can contribute, seems to have found himself a bro in Cipher, too. 🤣🔥
All of this.
In three days.
And it’s only Wednesday. 🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes I wonder what ELSE this Squad is capable of!!
And then I remember…
We’re only on Wednesday. 🤣🤣🤣
Although, knowing them…
Perhaps I should stop asking questions, grab some popcorn, and just keep watching.
Something tells me the week isn’t over surprising me yet. 😏❤️
