Grab Bag
I've had some of these links around for awhile. Enjoy this Tuesday edition of the Grab Bag. Hit me back if you find something that connects some dots for you on something. I am particularly digging the article on Chouinard from WSJ.
This rif now has 76 subscribers, up 4 since the last rif. The last rif, "Don't do homework," had 31 clicks and 10 readers make comment back to me. Fantastic. Speak up people. The rest of us are having killer conversations! :)
One of those comments was about the HBR article about putting your business model to the test:
GL writes - "I LOVE this. And that it is the HBR. I struggle to keep these ideas at the forefront of the work I do and the life my family lives. I want to model this lifestyle for my kids. I want to make it easier for everyone to do, not just the privileged-well-educated-born-lucky. When we reach the tipping point in society where this is the norm, not unique, it will truly revolutionize all our lives."
In the spirit of GL's comments, let's all cultivate a bias toward action. Ready? Go.

They recently "curated" the books by TED speakers in their collection (i.e. store). Nifty. Usable. Let me know if you've read any of them and want to chat one through. -

"We're obsessed with work because of the satisfaction we get from the kudos for achievement, not because of some deep-seeded satisfaction from working long hours, as an end in itself." -

"By far, the biggest predictor of engagement was that the post was on a topic relevant to the brand..." -

You're gonna flip. Your handwriting can now easily be subjected to Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Write it... the app will convert to characters.

I am slowly building what I think is a solid rif on Amazon. I'll publish it soon. I am already looking forward to your responses and thoughts on it. Yet, until then... have you read something interesting regarding Amazon lately? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
And lastly... Welcome to the newbies!
