.@BKBPReynoso helped save 100,000 hospitality jobs when he created outdoor dining during Covid. Mayor Adams ruined the program. Now it’s time to bring it back – better than ever.
@eastvillageguy You see this guy? You could nerd out like him and do that or find some friend that wants to dick around with building something in AI and most folks should be able to follow this playbook fairly easily.
Professional services has its own “magic wand number”: the minimum expert attention required to create the client outcome. The work is finding the gap between that and actual delivery cost, then removing the friction: rework, delays, handoffs, unclear scope, and decision drag.
@gregisenberg I had two mid level creatives learn we were pitching our work to John varvatos. It was a dream for them. He was asleep throughout their whole presentation.
@Kidfears99 Do you use a pump? Some argue the pressurization of airplanes messes with delivery. However… the effect would be an over-delivery of basal insulin on takeoff of .5u and similar under-delivery on landing so it’d balance out. And garbage food.
I walk my kids 3 blocks to school each day. Next year my oldest will go to a different school across street from my apt. We moved to neighborhood because I was 4 block walk to work. World class dining. Brooklyn bridge park few blocks away, have 5 subway lines within 5 minute walk. Ferries. Everything.
Been living in New York City for around five years now.
Yes, it’s expensive, taxes are high, and there are some interesting characters walking around. Those are some of the costs.
Here’s what we get:
Access to the best restaurants in America, no matter what type of food you’re in the mood for.
Everything our family needs is just a short walk away.
You constantly get to see friends in person, as they’re always passing through.
Some of the best public and private schools in America.
The network you build here, just by going about your day-to-day life, is incredible. You run into some of the most interesting people doing the most amazing things at the highest level.
Access to the best doctors in the world.
The career opportunities here are immense, no matter what you do.
Central Park – my go-to spot – never gets old.
If you’re a shopper, there’s nowhere better in America.
If you’re an entrepreneur, this city forces you to think bigger on a daily basis.
Broadway, sports, concerts, comedy – the highest level of entertainment, right in your backyard.
The subway. Yes, the subway – and yes, millions of normal people take it every day – gets you around this place like a time machine.
It’s a wonderful place to raise kids. Every kids' activity you can think of is just blocks away. Our son loves the Natural History Museum, and endless playdates are available either in our building or within a three-minute walk.
Maybe all those folks who can afford to live anywhere in the world but choose to raise their families here aren’t so crazy after all.
How do you see this comparing to other professional services? (May not be your area of expertise, but I’m curious). I see vastly different thoughts among my peers and leaders even at my own company. I think we’ll be forced to explore different models and different levels of transparency around savings, but I doubt customers will pay for a “full time equivalent” and I bet it’ll land somewhere between time and cost/plus for tokens.
@ProfFinntastic@jappleby I find the semi anonymity freeing. I use this same avatar in other parts of my life and if you really wanted you could unmask me, but not having these statements directly tied to my googlable real world identity is better for business.
