Really good example we ought to circulate to every client. 'Creativity' explained in business language, not just arty-farty.

We're watching something genuinely concerning unfold. College educated unemployment just hit 25.3% of total unemployment, literally doubled since 2008. That's 1.9 million workers with bachelor's degrees now unemployed. Companies aren't hiring the way they used to, even for roles

The secret formula for happiness from the film 'About Time'. (To quote Goethe: "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather.")

michelle obama said you have to know how to exist when life is just life. she said “sometimes it’s like, this is not exciting. i’m not winning. i’m not losing. i’m not achieving. it’s not a party. i don’t have friends around everyday. most of life is just the nothing in the

it still blows my mind you can open a podcast app today and listen to satya from microsoft, jensen from nvidia, brian chesky from airbnb, tobi from shopify, and the indie builders making $100k MRR. they tell you exactly how they build their products, the mistakes they made, and

Unironically the most profound business insight I've read this year. Makes sense that it would come from the biggest luxury company — an industry that only exists because of its ability to "create desire." Arguably the clearest distillation of the function of marketing.

Been saying this for years. Read more fiction. Please. Yet another self-help / optimization book is not a flex. It actually makes you seem crazy if that’s all you post about. Let your imagination do its thing by reading stories that transport you to different places and times.

Balaji’s right that China dominates niche manufacturing through spatial concentration. But the mechanism is the opposite of what policy makers assume. Datang makes 35% of the world’s socks. Shengzhou makes 60% of the world’s neckties. Wenzhou once held 80% of the global

I remember seeing a post about how normalized AI in advertisements making the company look cheap will mean real art will start becoming the standard for brands to seem more luxurious and it's really happening

These YouTube accounts are amongst my favorites and I’d have to assume have done their part to wake people up to the fact that luxury ain’t what it used to be. Given that Gen Z spending power is limited I’d have to assume that this results in redirecting spends to dupes and

The amazing photographer Rachel Bach on IG: “I don't like to play favourites, but I think you'll understand when I say there's just something special about photographing Carlos. You never quite know what's coming next, but whether it's a dive, a slide or a roar, it's pretty

No one knows you. No one has a story about who you are. No one is waiting for you to be the person you were yesterday. You're just a stranger in a chair by the window, watching a city that doesn't need anything from you. It's the feeling that anything could happen. That the
