The best week of the year. There's no team like @Shopify. 💚
What happened at @startupfest yesterday was antisemitism. Pure & simple. Disguised under a thin veil of advocacy, and everyone in the room saw right through it.
I was on stage with Georges St-Pierre talking about entrepreneurship. Not politics. A man burst in screaming horrible accusations at me anyway. Third time in 2 years, including at the opening of a Jewish community centre.
My parents were in the front row. I'll never forget their faces.
When the target is always the Jew and never the topic, it's not advocacy. It's hate.
The room booed him down and cheered as he was walked out. I'm grateful for that.
Hate got escorted out. We got right back to building.

Feels a lot like a blue zone.
Joie de vivre. Strong community. Slower meals. Deep connections.
