No joke. I was at a car dealership getting my car serviced. It is nearing the end of its lease. All of a sudden I said: I want an orange car. I thought it was because I have been so focused on giraffe. I'll be....I'm trendy without knowing it.
It was great to work with an outstanding video production team today. I am extremely thankful for our internal Marketing and Communications team and our external video partners, and Leadership supporting the importance of creativity! It was a long 12-hour day off site for our team, but we learned a lot about the “golden hours” for drone shots, the art of creating natural light, the diplomacy of a location pivot, how a paper towel can diffuse too much light, and the importance of humor during a tightly packed schedule. Any good marketing professional knows that spreadsheets are just as important as creative projects. However, it is more important to realize that you may never brag to your kids about the time that you spent 12 hours on a spreadsheet. #thankful #marketing #creative #leadership …see more

Folks, yesterday saw guilty pleas of a dozen or so wealthy parents and coaches for bribery, illegal money transfers across state lines, and tax fraud among other charges. Felicity issued an apology, seemingly sincere. Here's an idea I want to refloat: When we get to the punishment phase, I want to reiterate the idea of a cy pres award. Elite colleges were harmed. True. But the whole incident shines a spotlight in inequality in education and across America. And, ironically, the bribes ostensibly went to help low income kids. Yup, that's the tax fraud part. So have those pleading guilty do just that: donate to a cy pres fund that benefits low income kids and the non-elite small colleges that serve them. Redistribute the cy pres to colleges with more than 40% Pell eligible students and/or 50% first gen students and under 1200 students and endowments under $10 million. Then use the funds for scholarships and institution sustainability. The cy pres agreement would be part of a court ordered settlement and the distribution could be decided by a cy pres committee or designated court appointed official. Make lemonade out of lemons. Force these parents to do what they actually said: give to help low income students. Do good from bad. …see more

"The risk of working in a grocery store or warehouse is higher now than ever before. But most major retailers — including Amazon, CVS, Walmart, and Kroger — are not reinstating their hazard pay. While frontline workers put their lives on the line, the fruits of their labor are going to executives and investors who are safe at home. The United States is suffering from both a COVID pandemic and an epidemic of corporate greed." Judd Legum …see more
