TRAINING TO DUNK
Training to Dunk. Brandon Todd is 5’5″ and can dunk a basketball. At that height, you need a 42+ inches vertical leap to have a chance of putting the ball in the hoop. This is pretty insane.

I had just returned from a long-awaited holiday honeymoon and closed a new round of funding for my startup.

THE PRODUCT GENIUS BEHIND JACKBOX GAMES HOW YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE RESURGENCE OF AN OFFBEAT TRIVIA GAME SERIES _This article first appeared on TechCrunch_
DURING THIS PERIOD of shelter-in-place, people have had to seek out new forms of entertainment and social interaction. Many have turned to a niche party series made by a company best known for an irreverent trivia game in the ’90s called “You Don’t Know Jack.” Since 2014, the annual release of the Jackbox Party Pack has delivered 4-5 casual party games that run on desktop, mobile and consoles that can be played in groups as small as two and as large as 10.

HOW TO BECOME MORE ADAPTABLE WHEN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC TURNS THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN It’s no secret that adaptability has become a critical trait for knowledge workers. To stay on top of a rapidly evolving world, we must assess new situations, make intelligent decisions and implement themeffectively.

I think he’s just incredibly good at articulating distinctly memorable ideas backed by both data and stories in a way that we could all learn from. Godin, more than just about anyone, understands both the power of technology (he’s founded several technology companies, including an early direct marketing co that he sold to Yahoo) and how technology has shaped markets and human opportunity. I took these notes back in 2008 and rediscovered them recently. A lot has been paraphrased but there are some direct quotes as well. Boldingis mine.
