@GayBearRes They are in the declining phase. Unfortunately, they are led by executives who only know how to cut costs. The only thing that saves large corporations like this is creativity and innovation. Unfortunately, we read case studies about them because they never do.

Parents, take your kids to all those birthday parties. Here's why. Once upon a time, a million years ago, in a San Fernando Valley far, far away, my mother had a birthday party and nobody showed. Not a single kid. With school starting, I wanted to share the story. A thread 🧵
