Sly Stone and Brian Wilson in the same week is a lot of lost genius. Reminds me of when we lost Bowie and Prince just a few months apart and it felt like the world spun off its axis.

This is a terrific thread, with keen insight into some of the downsides of remote work, plus ways to mitigate or work around them. Love it. This is the kind of honest talk about tradeoffs that can help move the industry forward, thank you.

A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

If your question is met with silence that doesn’t mean it’s a bad question. It often means people are thinking before responding; pondering before declaring. That makes it a good question.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but being afraid to fail has stopped you from too many cool things happening to you last year. It doesn't matter how it's going to work out - if you have been thinking about it for weeks, months or years - you should do something about it. #motivation #inspired

In a Waymo driverless robocab in Phoenix, and what’s struck me is just how fast the experience turned from futuristic to mundane in about three miles. The time we spend in a state of wonder seems shorter everyday.

So glad you asked! The public-domain class of 2025 includes Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, Woolf’s A Room of One's Own, the 1.0 versions of Popeye and Tintin, Ravel’s “Boléro,” and the first recording of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” - my favorite in this bunch.

Brands: maybe buy a few plain brown boxes next time you restock so the Xmas gift to my wife doesn’t land on the front porch with your branding all over the outside. At least I know she’ll like it in 5 days — because she’s already told me when she brought it inside.

The "learning styles" myth is just that – a myth. Your brain doesn't have a preferred learning method. Focus on engaging experiences, real-world scenarios, and hands-on practice. Make learning relevant and interactive for true success. #L&D #mythbusting

Rebranding failure as "tuition" is one of the most profound lessons I've learned. It’s a powerful way to reframe setbacks, destigmatize failure, and highlight the value of collaboration and communication. What was the most valuable "tuition" you paid in 2024?
