One of the key ways for families to build intergenerational wealth is via real estate. But on top of slavery and Jim Crow, there was red-lining by banks and real estate covenants that kept African Americans from being able to tap into that. This post by Ben Thompson at Stratechery does a solid job of knitting together how those business practices, in large part but by no means solely, created the situation America finds itself in today with regard to the systemic opression of black Americans. Keep in mind, the post only focuses on one city - Madison, Wisconsin. But it happened in every city, all across America. #race #banking #blacklivesmatter #dobetter …see more

The New York Times asked readers to share what they're wearing around the house these pandemic days--my favourite: "I'm currently wearing a blanket as a skirt"--which made me wonder...what are LinkedInians wearing?

Two terrible, but disparate incidents within a week sent Buffalo Wild Wings reeling. What must the company do to recover?

Think about this... It’s the end of a decade and the start of the holidays. The kids may have no clue about channel surfing, but they know the car of the future... is a truck?

#Entrepreneurs , Think Through Your Working Capital Needs + conversation with Swapna Gupta @QualcommVenture

Happy holidays to all. I know not everyone will be celebrating right now but even if your year was less than you wanted it to be, a new year and new decade, even, is around the corner.

So I hope you all have time to enjoy, reflect and, of course, look forward. To new beginnings. xx …see more
