One of the great privileges of owning an independent company is that you get to try all sorts of stuff no one else would ever give you permission to do. And you get to greenlight other people's oddball ideas too. You can — and should — provide cover for weird attempts, strange ideas, and "I mean this will probably never work but..." stuff. Often! If you are in this position, and you aren't helping unusual things happen, you're missing out on one of life's true pleasures. Public companies worth billions can't do the kinds of things you can. Businesses that need to justify every move can't do the things you can. Very few get to do this, and you can. So please make the universe happy and see if that weird, unusual, not-like-everyone-else idea catches fire.

Currently at WSJ Journal House listening to @DollyDeighton interview actor Josh Duhamel who started an agency called Dakota Media with co-Founder Josh Alagra. Most of their clients are Midwestern. Asked why: “Midwestern clients pay the bills. Quiet brands have deep pockets.”

We need more willingness like @bchesky. Take a listen and it will get you thinking.

Great example of partnering vs going solo. More partnerships will move the dial fwd faster on everything we/ you are trying to create/ do/ impact.

Everything about this is so good.

This was one of the best. Some nice Saturday motivation. @evanspiegel @guyraz open.spotify.com/episode/3iM9RL…

For enterprises going AI-first, the best way to think about AI is as a technology that increases output and accelerates timelines. Using AI to do what you already do, but cheaper, is a losing proposition. Eventually your competitors will just use it to do more and win.

Hey @Delta why can’t the servers in the lounge not display their @Venmo accounts and only accept cash? Let’s update this so your team can get rewarded more and more often. Appreciate the look! #CVG

They were the good investors, dealers in reality, patient. When the history of the rise and fall of America is written, one of the chapters will begin in Omaha, with their departure.
