Thank you all for the kind words about my opinion piece yesterday.
What no one is talking about is the incredible animation the lovely folks at the NYT did for it. Look closely. Who is wielding the clippers?

This was one of the most substantive talks on the deleterious effects of phones on kids.
Would you go to a phone-free show?
Graham Dugoni invented Yondr pouches—which magnetically lock up phones during events like concerts and at schools—to encourage people to live more in the moment and wrestle our attention back from tech companies.

So true. My co-authors and I have argued so much...I think of Anat Rafaeli, Jim March,Huggy Rao, Barry Staw, and above all, Jeff Pfeffer. Who liked to say "When two people always agree, one of them is unnecessary."
The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn’t agreeing with someone. It’s enjoying your disagreements with them.
Harmony is not the combination of identical sounds. It’s the pleasing arrangement of different tones, voices, or instruments.
Creative tension makes beautiful music.

I invest in, and buy products from companies that I can be proud of.
Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

“Headlight brightness has roughly doubled since 2015.”
