@jordan327 I just read the article about BK Russia struggling to shut down. ~All co's in Russia face the same problem-inability to escape contracts. Those w/conviction have quickly/easily struck deal to nullify the contract.

Journalistic opportunity to dig in there with bk and others to figure out why they've not struck a deal. The partner in Russia "refusing" is like the tiny tip of the real reason
In general I'm the opposite of a baseball traditionalist, but it made me smile to see the infield-shift backfire so badly

What's the best primer for a newbie to learn how to think about Customer Lifetime Value?
Sometimes breakthrough trends seem obvious the instant they breakthrough. Seems that's the case with "rev-tech" the category that @drift just invented. Marketing and sales under one roof?!? 🀯

@EliasSports in light of yesterday's #balkoff, does the batter get credited with a plate appearance?

@EliasSports following up here. If a pitcher balks with bases loaded in bottom of 9th causing the winning run to cross the plate and the game to end, does the batter at the time of the balk get a plate appearance?

Best idea so far. Serious.

When I'm grocery shopping I imagine a clock counting up while my split times are compared to the Olympic record & world record every time I cross an item off the list until I get thru checkout. Definitely not looking for style points by price shopping or nailing any landings.
Happy birthday @nickdawson. RIP Medical Debt!
Let’s try something. It’s my birthday. For every like I’ll donate $1 to @RIPMedicalDebt and for every RT I’ll do $2 and for every quote tweet I’ll make it $3. No one should struggle or go bankrupt to pay for life saving care. Read about RIP here ripmedicaldebt.org

1/In the last ~18 months I've drastically increased my reading. I've been wanting a way to capture the cool lessons that I've taken from each book, so here's a twitter thread to do just that. Hope others find it valuable! h/t to @seekingwisdomio for some of the motivation!

16/To Pixar And Beyond - Pixar was (is) a great example of the power of doggedly focusing on the critical few to achieve out-sized success. Along with the other Pixar books-interesting case study on how a slightly different vantage point can lead to very different view of reality

17/ The Fifth Risk - Ugh, this book made me mad many times over again. Ok, a lesson (re)learned: seek first to understand, then to be understood
