My happy place

Jeremy Caplan's happy place

I love swans 🦢and I love this pond. Far from the city, it's quiet, serene, and gorgeous. Life moves at a slower pace here, and the swans go about their daily routines with heads held high regardless of whatever chaos is going on in the human world around them.

I really admire teammates who are…

Thoughtful, well-prepared, hard-working, creative, assertive, initiative-taking, collaborative, curious, kind, flexible, and happy. 

It's a pleasure working with people who care about the quality of their work, who are thoughtful about how they do what they do, who listen and pause and collaborate and create and iterate and who are at peace with themselves.
