ICYMI - Men, do you notice how often you interrupt women? "Even when women have a seat at the table, men do 75% of the talking in the avg mtg." "Analysis of > 155k conf calls over 19 years found men spoke 92% of the time". https://t.co/NNTWfAgaWy

#CrazyRichAsians is headed for a monster opening, and it’s essential to look at why. A full 38% of viewers so far have been Asian—we’re COMING OUT for this film as we never have in cinematic history.

But another 24% of viewers are black or Hispanic: *viewers are 62% nonwhite*.

Early in your career, don’t choose the job where you’ll be happiest.
Choose the job where you’ll grow the most.
Investing in learning is the most important career choice you can make.
