As a rule, my presentations are highly interactive and thoroughly fun (also funny, if you’re a Seinfeld fan).

After all, people learn best when they’re being entertained.

Want to judge someone’s character?

See how quickly they pay you back money they owe you.

Honest Cover Letter:

I’m interested in this job because it’s available. I feel I’m a match because I, too, am available.

“A tale of literal highway robbery so antic and absurd that it seems like the plot of an Elmore Leonard novel.”

“An awful parable of economic desperation in 21st-century America.”

Former Biden people are furious at the First Lady’s comments given how hard Bates worked for the Bidens.

Former Biden spokesperson @Rodericka goes on the record: “Why are we rehashing years-old scores and clinging to relevancy to sell books about palace intrigue within a wing that doesn’t even exist anymore? Focusing on this instead of the bleak reality Americans have been experiencing in the same time frame is exactly why we lost in 24.”

If you’re not AT&T (“Reach out and touch someone”) or Neil Diamond (“reachin’ out, touchin’ me, touchin’ you”), then please don’t ask me to “reach out” to anyone.

As visible as X is in the outside world, and as integral as it is to Elon Musk’s public image, in SpaceX’s 150-plus pages of corporate prospectus, it hardly shows up.

And when it does, things don’t look great.

One of the best stories I’ve read in a long time, with so many wild details. The downfall of the Bill Gates image. https://t.co/NppGUPa6UY

Before you publish a memo, write an email, or give a presentation, ask yourself, “What’s the one word or phrase I want people to remember tomorrow?”

“I have no problem taking a job in a place that I am not welcome in,” Mr. Bilton said to Palley. “You are not going to intimidate me in front of this group of people. I want that to be clear.” This story, by @grynbaum and @BenMullin, defines jaw-dropper. https://t.co/AQBQkbkGJV

BOARDWALK EMPIRE (2010–2014) never gets mentioned enough when discussing HBO’s best. A sprawling crime saga packed with unforgettable characters, meticulous period detail, and one of Steve Buscemi’s finest performances.
