Prioritize Google Exec Meeting — Adjust Reno Travel

March 6, 2026 at 6:09 PMstrategymedium

Situation

Agreed to meet a confidential new Google executive (distinguished engineer from Google Cloud, came through Tissa) for Monday dinner or Thursday lunch. Thursday option requires returning from Reno Wednesday night. Directed Greg to cover Toyota in person on Wednesday if needed.

Reasoning

High-value relationship opportunity — a distinguished engineer from Google Cloud reaching out through Tissa signals serious interest. Worth compressing an already packed week (H1 planning Monday, board Tuesday, Toyota Wednesday). Ensuring Greg covers Toyota preserves that customer relationship. Preference for simpler logistics (Less to go wrong).

Additional Context

This is during a brutal week: H1 planning Monday, board Tuesday, Toyota in Reno Wednesday, potentially Google exec Thursday. Kelly Hall is building the relationship and wants continuity. Rich requested confidentiality.

Observed Evidence

Peter in group DM: I could do Thursday. Bjorn that means things get even tighter for that week and we should make sure Greg is there in person for Toyota on Wednesday. Also: Monday is h1 planning. I can do dinner Monday night. Tuesday is the board. Wednesday is Toyota in Reno. And: Less to go wrong (preference for simpler option).
