Reaganomics: Show Me the Money 📝
November 21, 2022
Ronald Reagan said, “If you’re explaining, you’re losing.”  Reaganomics usually refers to tax cuts and trickle down economics, yet I propose that we take the Gipper’s quote and ask: How can simplicity contribute to a business's success?

When we share what leading companies do, we can often skip an explanation and sum it up in a brief sentence. Examples:
  • Walmart offers low prices.
  • Facebook connects us.
  • Hyatt offers a place to sleep.
  • Amazon offers

Bridge has something that every store needs, but doesn’t really want: product data. We get stores to trust us that they need our product data for 64,000 products from 109 brands. They really don’t want the data—they want the sales from it. The data itself is worthless, but the sales from it are invaluable. Do you know who also has this issue? Funeral directors.  Last week's Wall Street Journal shares that mortuaries are leveraging bonsai trees, setting up bouncy castles, ...

When and How to Decant Wine
November 7, 2022
Decanting wine is a popular practice for many wine lovers. It can improve the tasting experience but it can also ruin a wine. It is important to look at the type of wine and the type of decanting being done to determine the best course of action.
Determining if decanting a wine will be harmful to it can be done by looking at the vintage, the producer, the age/condition, and the grape variety. Some people like to decant every wine for hours on end while others decant wine to remove sediment. ...

A decor imagined by the decorator Alberto Pinto for Raynaud. Its originality lies in the subtle decoration of its items. Each of them has its own history and aesthetic personality. The emerald green color, which complements the original coral red collection and the ultramarine blue version, plunges us into the abyss and the mysterious depths of the sea. It is sometimes dense and deep on the coral handles of the cups or on the knobs of the teapots, sometimes soft, contrasting, nuanced and water ...
