Happy news to round out the week!

"Homebound parents modeled less gendered approaches to multitasking for their kids during lockdown, which their kids will hopefully retain in their own working lives."

Consumers aren't passive players anymore. Forward-thinking brands recognize this and put consumers at the center of their strategies.

From where I'm standing, there's no better way to cultivate #loyalty. @MariaMonteros_ https://t.co/EUyuGlbXLM

Looking to the #future, there are critical considerations for this model's sustainability.

Managing #influencer-follower relationships, ensuring authenticity, and adaptability will be paramount. An insightful read here from @HarvardBiz. https://t.co/ty4IY9XNQq

#Childcare is a core pillar of the @chamberofmoms and we are fighting through grassroots movements, local chapters, strategic communication, and community building.

On Sept. 30th, the last of the $24 billion Child Care Stabilization Program enacted in 2021 will run out.

To understand how urgent it is for programs like this to continue, let's look at some numbers from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. https://t.co/gGv72HRkpr

The industry is a private market failure that needs to be completely re-conceived socially as a public human right—boosting wages, reducing costs to families, and protecting the GDP contributions of worker-parents who can't live without it.

This article is specific to the banking industry, but I've noticed this trend across sectors.

#GenZ is just coming into their spending power. Since they want to associate with brands they're aligned with, focus on shared #values. @AmerBanker https://t.co/V5VcJMVcPy

#AI cannot replace #human judgment, but it can complement it. Noor Sweid once said: "VC remains a fundamentally human experience… just powered by AI."

She outlines three areas of focus: Sourcing and screening, due diligence, and portfolio management. #VentureCapital

What was your "lightning in a bottle" realization?

[Deshi Singh @DeshiSingh]

My e-commerce innovation journey was born from what I noticed in the world around me. 🧵

[Deshi Singh @DeshiSingh]

Forty-one percent of Americans value recommendations from friends and family more than social media recommendations.

I realized that if I could harness that and meet people with the exact kind of platform they need, I could capture lightning in a bottle.
