decided over the weekend to try out opening up a block of calls over the next few weeks: calendly.com/methodandstr...
if you're in leadership and have been following me long enough to know what I'm about, I invite you to book a 30-minute free consultation call to jam about whatever you working on.

Judging middle school entrepreneurship fair applications and it doesn't get any points on the rubric, but gotta appreciate the kid who crossed out the "how many items to break even" question and wrote "I just want to do this. There's no way I'll cover my costs."

This is fking intentional from day one. These guys understand that once we showed as a people and government we were willing to bail out a random bank the best business strategy of *any* business is to *intentionally* become too-big-to-fail, even if it means the business doesn't fundamentally work.
hey guys isn't it weird how they're all saying this at the same time? ignore the fact that this is now happening with Tyler Cowen, an economist who sits at the center of a sprawling system of think tanks and policy "influencers" who have been laundered into DC with both Koch and SV VC money

just spent 3 hours trying to coax a graphviz (dot) file out of a chatbot; the first hour was fruitful but the latter two felt wasted
it kept wrecking structure it had made and i kept having to tell it to put it back
seems wildly inefficient (as usual)

Serious question: why aren't air traffic controllers paid from fees charged to airlines/airports? If the PTO keeps running thanks to patent application fees, it seems reasonable to use a similar system for air travel.
