Finding chanterelles brought me to my uncle's café in rural New Jersey—those pots of soup we made after foraging across the Pennsylvania river. Tonight: Escoffier-style chanterelle velouté. Seared tenderloin, whipped potatoes, roasted squash. I cook to create and to remember.

Be happy for others in triumph. Cheer them through the trenches. We aren’t defined by jobs or circumstances, but by experiences and shared humanity. 3/4

We had the privilege of opening our home to friends these past few weekends - college friends, longtime friends, new connections. Each time reminded me of something important. 1/4

Just finished Material World by Ed Conway - six “basic” materials (salt, sand, iron, copper, oil, lithium) that quietly run our world. Eye-opening reminder that the future of energy, tech & trade rests on foundations we rarely consider. Highly recommend.

Keurig Dr Pepper drops $18B on JDE Peet's then immediately plans to split the company in two. Most "shuffle the deck" stories fail because they confuse activity with progress Analysis: https://t.co/AglI51NnUj

When a logo becomes lightning: @CrackerBarrel's rebrand drew outrage. Context: the category is bleeding (@TGIFridays + @redlobster filed Ch. 11). The work isn’t pixels - it’s P&L. How leaders separate signal from noise ↓ https://t.co/g6fA2ROWC0

Three “unexpected” CEO hires this month prove a point: Boards win when they hire for the constraint, not the résumé. From @harleydavidson to JLR to telehealth—unconventional works. Here’s why → https://t.co/cwoxglatEV

Just finished Ron Chernow's Mark Twain biography - wow! 📚Twain embodies the imperfect American story and humanity's capacity for growth. Had flaws and prejudices but showed we can evolve and leave indelible marks despite imperfections. Worth the read: https://t.co/q8MUfkY0Pb

We're building AI wrong—and it's going to cost us everything. The biggest threat isn’t the tech. It’s what we’re doing to our workforce, judgment, and institutional knowledge. Here’s my latest Substack on 4 risks execs can’t afford to ignore. 🔗 https://t.co/yL6q20PB3r
