When I was applying for SBA loans for my business, the lender advised I take out new credit cards first to increase my credit score. It felt irresponsible. Then he told me,"You're worth nothing to no one unless you owe something to someone," and I think about that all the time.

It's back-to-school and I'm reminded of how ridiculous it was that (in order to graduate college) I had to take 4 semesters of gym, but not a single class on personal finance?! Are there any universities that require a 1-credit course like this ("Adulting 101")?

"Whenever you have demand exceeding supply, particularly for a cultural product or a product that’s seen as art, that often increases demand even more." Professor @ryanlraffaelli and @Caren (MBA 2010) discuss vinyl shortages and its renaissance. https://t.co/BhnMevlz6H

Why do some old technologies stick around? My interview with @Harvard Gazette and @HarvardHBS alum @Caren about the vinyl record renaissance. [#technology_reemergence]

After dominating the music industry, albums fell out of favor as CDs appeared. But vinyl has made a comeback and is having its best year in decades.

Many articles reporting on sexual exploitation and trafficking fail to ask: “So, what’s the solution?” In his @nytimes piece, @NickKristof offers three feasible measures.
I've spent the last few months reporting this piece about Pornhub. What most people don't realize is that it's infested with rape videos. I talked to child trafficking survivors whose rape videos the company had distributed and monetized. Unconscionable:
