“Look, sweetie...”

Hi John, I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten unsolicited feedback starting with words like these: “Look, sweetie…”  This is usually followed by somebody telling me I should have started smaller.  The reality is that we don’t have time for small thinking, and I’m not running to keep things the …

We should be creating news cycles, however brief, not just reacting. We do this by talking about material conditions.  I…
