Overachiever's Motivation Mix

The Smartsheet Overachievers are here to give you the songs that will keep you going and keep you achieving! Here’s what’s on the playlist this quarter.

Manuel Turizo, "La Bachata"

“The reason why the song motivates me is simply because it makes me want to stand up and dance! Bachata chords always have that effect on me, even though I don’t know how to dance bachata at all. But it makes me feel like I am on a beautiful, paradisiac beach somewhere.”

More about me

If you haven’t gotten a chance to meet me in the Community yet, I’m Maxwell (you can call me Max) ✌️ the Sr. Web Producer for our Community Platform as well as for our website and Help and Learning center. I’m usually working behind the scenes ensuring the Community is a wonderful and functional place for our members to form connections without any interruptions.

A few things about me:

  1. I’ve worked at Smartsheet for nearly 3 years (anniversary approaching in July 2023). This has been my all time favorite job/role and I attribute this to all of YOU and my wonderful co-workers. 
  2. I grew up in Seattle, but I currently reside in Upstate NY with my fiancé, Emily, and dog, Finn.
  3. Outside of work I love to row, run, travel, and spend as much time as possible with friends and family. 
  4. My favorite band is Death Cab for Cutie, naturally being from the Pacific Northwest. Love moody music just as much as the weather in Seattle.

👉 My favorite tip 

A good way to level up and earn more badges within the Community is by doing the following: 1) Login to the Community 2) React to posts and comments. These are two extremely effective ways you can gain points and earn badges when reaching milestones (i.e. 5 up votes, 10 insightful, etc.) along your Community journey!

Until next time,

Maxwell from Smartsheet
