Comment on Steal Domino’s Idea…Please by Stephen Jordan (@junkfishjordan)

Stephen Shapiro

I remember traveling from Boston to Caracas in 2005 with my brother and friend, and Continental lost our luggage for 4 days.

Who Will Manage Your Digital Assets When You Die?

Daniel Burrus

Not long ago, I was delivering a speech to 4,000 life insurance agents.

Quantification of Novel, Useful and Successful

Mike Shipulski

Strike them from your vocabulary and replace them with novel, useful, and successful. Argument is unskillful but analysis is skillful. And what’s needed for analysis is a framework and some good old-fashioned quantification.
