The Monday Morning Memo

Eveline Shen is an operating-systems programmer — not for computers, but for people. Eveline helps leaders rewire the limiting patterns that hold them back — including perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-sacrifice — and replace them with what she calls “courageous” actions. Her clients are primarily organizations advocating for social change, many of whom instinctively view business leaders and entrepreneurs not as partners, but as adversaries. But as Eveline explains to roving reporter Rotbart, everyone wins when they make a more deliberate effort to communicate with, understand, and learn from one another.

 

Roy’s reading of this week’s MMMemo is on the website page for Nov. 24, 2025.
Below is an alternate reading of that same memo. – Indy

Random Quote:

“

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

“

- Philip Larkin, "This Be the Verse" from Collected Poems, quoted by Mae, the owner of the pub in Ted Lasso, season 3, episode 11, “Mom City” starting at about 17:00. “The poem is about how parents always end up traumatizing their kids, which should serve as a warning for anyone thinking about having a child. At first glance, Larkin’s poem might look like a bleak take on humanity, as it claims the cycle of parents messing up their kids will never end. However, through the sweet voice of Mae, we can grasp the whole meaning of the poem.” – Marco Vito Oddo
