The Prestige
May 3, 2022
While eating a slice of coal-fired pizza at Arturo’s in Soho yesterday, and getting an occasional whiff of Houston Street garbage, I had to admit: I was at a loss for insight to share with my coworkers this week.  Each week, I send out a motivational message to my team that precedes a summary of what they accomplished. We call this report the Brick report. This would be my seventy-second Brick introduction: What else could I say--and would they miss it if there was not an introduction...

NYT: Amazon claims to not be responsible for what it sells

Amazon sells you an item, gets it from its warehouse, and delivers it to you—but says that it is not a seller, shares Moira Weigel in this past weekend’s Times. This shields it from accountability to customers that receive harmful goods. Amazon is using a similar excuse that Facebook and social media platforms use regarding harmful content: don’t hold us accountable; blame our users, even if we provide the service ...

Checklists Can Help Save Lives and Main Street ✅
April 25, 2022
In a 2007 article in The New Yorker, Atul Gawande, a surgeon and an author, advocated that more hospitals use checklists. He cited many medical studies showing how checklists save lives (and money).  Implementing one checklist, a hospital "…prevented forty-three infections and eight deaths, and saved two million dollars in costs."  The startling part: the list was only five steps long! In other words, people don’t consistently follow...

NYT: How Barnes & Noble Went From Villain to Hero
April 20, 2022
Excerpt:

"Today, virtually the entire publishing industry is rooting for Barnes & Noble — including most independent booksellers. Its unique role in the book ecosystem, where it helps readers discover new titles and publishers stay invested in physical stores, makes it an essential anchor in a world upended by online sales and a much larger player: Amazon."

Competing With Ourselves🪞
April 19, 2022
About two weeks ago in Charleston, SC, in spin class where I sounded like I was getting a hair transplant, I enjoyed being at once together with my friends in the class and yet competing with them.  When they peddled harder and stood up, I wanted to also.  Our competing didn't mean that there was one winner and everyone else lost. It wasn’t a zero-sum game.  In that spin class, we all won.  After that class, we all felt great.  Competition is an ...
