Lunch & lecture
What I learned from David Gelles at the Baruch luncheon the other day:
MBA, management by absence, was the proud invention of Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia’s owner and founder.
Through 501C-4 Patagonia was able to channel its funds to both political and environmental causes.
Short and sweet presentation. Gotta read the book for details!
Grounded
Surprises are the enemy of tranquilty.
Surprises are at the heart of spontaneity.
Sometimes you need the jolt of the unexpected.
Other times, you want the quiet of dependability.
It’s easier to respond to what you know with enthusiasm.
The strange can feel unwelcome and therefore unwelcoming.
Sticking to the familiar can take you into a rut.
Don’t you need a challenge?
Try that other road; open a new door. Choose else.
We march in peace
When handed all the worst as we have in this socio-political moment, insist upon your rights.
We are not marching so much as we are rallying in protest.
The counter to the grift, graft, illegality, unConstitutionality, are demonstrations by we, the people.
MAGA, Project 2025, MAHA, Plan 47 and commencement speeches about the pitfalls of trophy wives are all unseemly, uncalled for and anti-American.
Not necessarily in that order.
