You Can Buy Hemingway’s Typewriter. But Would You Use It? nytimes.com/2023/12/07/sty… A lovely and fascinating story about an astonishing collection. Writers are inextricable from their tools and process. That was perhaps never truer than when their primary tool was a typewriter.

Silicon Valley’s $445 million robot pizza revolution that wasn’t fastcompany.com/90979001/zume-… There was a time when Zume was acclaimed for its acumen, laserlike focus and incredible strategic alignment. A peak behind the scenes suggests that was as much a fabrication as their cartons.

Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s Top-Secret Hawaii Compound wired.com/story/mark-zuc… There is a singular irony to the fact that someone who profits incredibly from the personal information of you and I insists on absolute secrecy in his own life. This is both fascinating and over the top.

Reporting on Long Covid Taught Me to Be a Better Journalist nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opi… Ed Yong did some of the most powerful and significant reporting on the pandemic—and the consequences of long Covid. That came at a cost. It was also a profound learning journey. Worth the read.

The Making of a Corporate Athlete hbr.org/2001/01/the-ma… This is an incredibly valuable & useful article. The idea of executives as athletes is a useful perspective. It is also one that gets comparatively little focus in business writing. I am taking a number of ideas from this.

How to Build a Better Motivational Speaker newyorker.com/magazine/2023/… Motivational speakers are not like you and I. What motivates them is not the same, either. A fascinating take on one speaker's attempt to be different. You be the judge of how different he actually is.

@brentoliver Yeah. Same. I know that Paramore exists... (does that count?) Could not pick them out of a lineup. (only reason I know that is because an awesome drummer covers both Rush—which I DO know—and Paramore—which, well, no clue).

Committing to that path is where the good work comes from. Don't avoid it. Don't panic and shut it down. Lean in to it, and see where it goes. I promise it will be to somewhere interesting.
Susan David, Ph.D.@SusanDavid_PhD

My team and I often talk about the “messy middle”—that moment when you can’t quite see where you’re going, when the project has become more complicated, not less, and you’re not sure which path to choose. Remind yourself: sometimes the path becomes clear even as we walk it.
