Here's what I stole from @McKinsey's game for evaluating potential new employees:
Late last week I learned "Solve," a set of puzzle-style simulations that measure how you think, not just what you decide.
This was always the intent with my game, but now I had a real-life model from one of the biggest names in consulting (i.e. masters of workflow mapping, process design, etc.) to compare.
Here's what I "yeeted":
Not every situation has a clean answer. Recognizing the signs of a "kobayashi maru" scenario early and making the least-bad call fast gets rewarded.
The game evaluates HOW you worked: Attendance patterns, prep habits, whether your calls were informed or blind. Results without process catches up with you eventually.
A "Strategy Report": based on Solve's "Strategy Board" you can now Pin artists, flag priorities, annotate your thinking. Your notes surface in meeting narratives. The NPCs reference them.
Meeting Gravity Scores: High-stakes meetings near release week score high. Prepping costs a slot. Tradeoffs.
Institutional Memory. Post-release retrospectives generate specific learnings that carry forward to future campaigns. Constrained quarterly budgets. More requests than pool. You pick.
@friedberg you've talked a lot about people being able to create their own entertainment/games in the future - it inspired me to create https://t.co/wSXmphJrZF I'm a music business guy (zero tech background) and used REAL data (3.4 million real interactions, 2k+ contacts/profiles, 100+ artists) to build.
I used AI to build a Music Business simulator based on 3.4 million REAL interactions, 2k contacts, 100+ artists, and thousands of campaigns. The image attached is a map of all my work-related interactions and how they all relate. Check out the game: https://t.co/UCMKQ4g49X
Will the "Agent Rule" become the new "Waiter Rule?" The "Waiter Rule" is a principle suggesting that how a person treats service staff reveals true character.
All week long, we’ll be diving into the origins and secret histories of the characters in #BlackOpsColdWar’s Campaign with our friends at @RavenSoftware.
First up: the #BlackOps history of Alex Mason.

@DanEgan2018 @passthemac @nick42p22 @KFCBarstool How can we have an accountability problem when we have a higher percentage of our population incarcerated than any country in the world? Accountability needs to start from the top down. We give police power so they can protect us. That power needs to come with a higher standard.
@AlwaysTrumpism @ExtremeLew@stoolpresidente Your data proves you wrong... the country is 75% white and 13% black. White people account for about 40% of those killed vs black people over 20%. One is severely under represented and the other wildly over represented...
@irabrianmiller This is great advice. The business is still changing as fast as fans’ consumption habits. The wider your experience the better suited for when things shift, which they will!
Today marks the day our brother James Sullivan passed away 9 years ago. We have put together a small video of outtakes from the "Almost Easy" recording sessions for you to enjoy. Thank you for all the kind wishes on this day. https://t.co/2B4DD6yjjQ
