There isn’t a store with better consumer psychology than Target. You cannot leave the store without spending $100.

One theme in all of Bill’s advice was to deeply and consciously know and trust what makes you different. Bill signed off our call with this epic line: “You have to find your own rainbow to follow. There is no gold at the end of somebody else’s rainbow.”

To students starting school today, Please be nice to your teachers. My dad is 53 years old, and not a whiz w technology. He’s called me EVERY day, attempting to practice because he’s so nervous and wants what’s best for his students. Please be patient with them. They’re trying.

As discussed, three weeks ago, camping & AirBNB are rebounding faster than other travel. Makes total sense. Not dense, can get there by car. Safer. xitter.cf/bgurley/status/1259622…
Google searches for AirBNB have returned to pre-crisis levels. For Expedia and Priceline, not so much
