I'm a huge fan of the HBR Ideacast podcast, so I was thrilled when @CurtNickisch asked me on to talk about building a business network, in part to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Heidi Roizen case :) more here:

"You don’t need to take outside investment. You don’t need to just focus on top-line revenue. You don’t need to screw over your employees so that you can make more profit. You can take a different approach." Hear @butcherbox founder @mikesalguero's story:

So saddened by this news. For a long time, my relationship with NPR was my relationship with Ken Barcus. He was authentic and committed and probably only let me say windswept in a story once. The Midwest has lost a real voice. I’ll miss him.
Ken Barcus, longtime Midwest bureau chief on NPR's National Desk, has died at age 67. He took great pride in countering stereotypes of the Midwest and in mentoring scores of young reporters. https://t.co/odUwboOGc7

Sad to hear news of Bill Russell passing. Amazing hoop talent. But so much more! Civil rights champion! Honored in 2018 at Lakota Nation Invitational during Grand March for his work on SD reservations. He made a positive difference for so many! A life well lived.

Applies to startups, too. A venture capitalist told me they look for 10% passion in customers as opposed to 90% above-average interest.

Hey @Twitter, you are doing a terrible job policing your platform when it comes to Ukraine. You are failing. Hundreds of sock puppet accounts attack every tweet that counters the Kremlin narrative, meanwhile you fall for coordinated campaigns to suspend genuine accounts.

In this podcast, I emphasize that for in-office days, we have to be clear on why we are asking people to come in. It better be for collaboration, connection, or innovation. W/@CurtNickisch and @HarvardBiz
