“spam risk” calling so much my son asked who he is

The day your 3rd grader brings home his first recorder is an amazing day in adult life. Hot cross buns… All. Night. Long.

Baseball players in California have a strategic advantage. It’s January.

[Kerry Konrady @konrady]

Baseball is a game of resilience the best fail 7 out of 10 times. Always hire a baseball player if you need determination, grit and character.

Trade shows are not optimized, there is little data, they require in person engagement, you must travel. Long days, long nights.

To make wholesale work for consumer brands you need to show up.

The portal is like:

Your company has chance to IPO in coming weeks. You don’t carry stock, so you’ll enjoy the “glamor” but not upside $

A competitor is offering you mega money to leave

Oh you have no money and have 4 years to make as much as you can

Of course you leave

Screen time is starting to feel like cigarettes once did.
Always on.
Socially accepted.
Addictive.
Long-term costs were only beginning to understand.

Many people I talked to over break had some version of screen sobriety. Dry Jan could have a new def.

Reality is getting harder to fake.
People seem to be gravitating toward live sports, endurance (suffering) events, and unscripted moments.
Friction is the feature.
Ugly is the beauty.

[Kerry Konrady @konrady]

We spent years tussling about fake news.
Now we’re scuffling with reality itself. (AI slop getting too good)
AI hasn't just flatten information.
It made TRUST our most valuable resource.

January is the start. Fresh wings off the tailwind of holiday. Best case scenario you crushed your Q4 and got some well deserved R&R. Regardless, January we start fresh with LY in the rear view converted to merely a measure we want to outdo. Let’s get after this!

@codyplof @drewfallon12 We thought they were legendary until their financials became public. Then it was “oh no”

Bo Jackson to Ohio State, where Chip Kelly is the OC? 💥

@iamshackelford This memory will only get more special. So cool!

[Kerry Konrady @konrady]

People helping people is an amazing feeling.

Today I both received help from a friend; separately was able to help a different friend.

Grateful for both opportunities to engage meaningfully.

Shout out to everyone helping each other today!

@JolineRivera @RosenZone I’m curious too. Any idea how Vacation is doing. Always enjoyed their approach to sms

[Kerry Konrady @konrady]

Gen alpha uses voice so natively

To pause or forward a song, switch tracks within playlist, search song title

To dictate a letter to their teacher

**These kids can read and write

It’s about efficiency.

[Kerry Konrady @konrady]

Ask yourself: do you have baseline data on your most important operating system

[Kerry Konrady @konrady]

@DCarr75 @CIFState @CifCentral @CIFSS @umpjob No common sense in making this call at this level. It’s high school baseball. Let the kids play.

@dimitrispearlja @PearlJam Incredible, any idea of when the shows are starting. Looks about 9pm?
