If boycotting Tesla is making conservatives buy electric vehicles, I think liberals should start boycotting books next and see if MAGA accidentally discovers reading.

Today is the 20th anniversary of my podcast, Design Matters. On February 4, 2005, I conducted my first interview with John Fulbrook in my office in the Empire State Building. It has been a privilege to interview my (over 700) guests & share those conversations with my listeners!

A week from tomorrow, I begin teaching (for the 7th time!) a grad course called Purpose to Practice. It’s about finding your purpose — then putting it into practice through story, networking, portfolio presentations, interviewing, negotiating your worth, first 90 days & more.

The overlap of personalities as politicians started with… Reagan? Then Schwarzenegger. Now a 2nd Tr*mp era w/Dr. Oz. I’m fascinated by the idea of popularity as a qualification. Which leads to nominations & now elections. It’s great — if you don’t like critical thinking.
