Be inclusive and liberal but also judicious with what and who comes into your space.
Part of our mission is to be as open and inclusive as possible. This is how we work to create a productive atmosphere and maintain an innovative and exciting buzz. Diversity and opportunity are important to foster but it’s important to keep a focus and maintain order and professionalism. We’re slowly learning to be ok with not being everything for everyone and that a little bit of curation can go a long way.

I’m also enjoying this thread.
As for #18 it’s useful to remember:
“Have an open mind but be careful your brain doesn’t fall out.”
Also, thanks to Jen for a pleasant and useful correction in the comment above. It’s worth the effort.
