A few years ago, as I was scrolling mindlessly through my Facebook News Feed, I came across an article that would change the way I ate ketchup forever.

The “R” in HubSpot’s culture acronym “HEART” stands for “Remarkable,” but the word isn’t just a stand-in for “awesome” or “great.” We really mean it — we like to surround ourselves with people whose work and attitude are so exceptional they prompt remarks.
