@HoopMixOnly Easy - if it’s in today’s game you don’t need a big guy so Shaq is out. However I’d probably leave KD on the bench regardless.

Even when we intend to multiply the intelligence of those around us, sometimes we accidentally diminish it.

There are unintended consequences of being the rescuer, the rapid responder, the optimist, the idea guy, the pacesetter, and the energizer bunny.

I enjoy jogging much more when I don’t track my distance and don’t look at the time. Just put in my earbuds and listen to @Gladwell ‘s Revisionist History podcast.

What a joy it was to interview the wonderful @tessavirtue and @ScottMoir at our @DeloitteCanada Conference today. We discussed how trust, strategic choices, and innovation played a role in the defining moments of their career. Very inspirational! And they are awesome people!

One of the great father-son moments in sports.

In the 1992 Olympics, Derek Redmond tore his hamstring while running the 400m. After the injury forced him to hobble the rest of the race, Redmond's father, Jim, came down from the stands to help him cross the finish line.

Excited to speak @CollisionHQ on a subject I care deeply about.

“The currency of our #data future is #trust.”

We’ve lost trust in the platforms+institutions that manage our data, yet our #economic #growth depends on our ability to leverage our data. Where do we go from here?
