"Why was selling shoes so different? Because, I realized, it wasn’t selling. I believed in running. I believed that if people got out and ran a few miles every day, the world would be a better place, and I believed these shoes were better to run in. People, sensing my belief, wanted some of that belief for themselves. Belief, I decided. Belief is irresistible.” https://lnkd.in/ga9Q9q8 #founder #entrepreneur #innovation …see more

It's pouring outside here in Gloucester MA. And, I am worried about Thanksgiving, a holiday that many see as a Hallmark card (although it rarely is.) I looked at the data on Canada as their Thanksgiving predates ours; it led to a rise in cases. https://lnkd.in/eu9BWky . Then, I saw images of our airports now in anticipation of the holiday, and it makes me realize that the next month leading up to the New Year may be a total disaster in terms of illness and deaths.

I have a forthcoming piece in New England Journal of Higher Education explaining non-compliance as it relates to young people (high schoolers and college students). But, I haven't written about adult non-compliance (yet). What are we thinking? Is it the same thinking that let's us think that there was massive election fraud that accounts for the Trump loss? We don't want to believe truth? We don't want to believe science? We don't want to believe voters and election monitors? Sad to say: we seem to disregard that with which we don't agree -- despite truth to the contrary. That's scary. On every front. …see more

Hope this provides good Thanksgiving discussion and understanding. Comments welcome (non-snarky please). Stay safe. Be well. Take care.

The funny thing is the lessons I learned from both Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are very similar — but the motivations were different. In Bill’s case, there was a stronger focus on out-foxing a competitor; in Jeff’s case, the focus was more on blowing away customers. Both strategies work; they’re just products of different people and different market dynamics. David Risher, Worldreader …see more
