Every time I see another headline announcing mass layoffs I picture a guy driving an open-top tour bus under a bridge. "14 ft clearance," the sign reads. "No worries," the driver thinks. "The bus is 14 ft." The bus will make it. Not so much for the riders sitting on the top deck. The driver realizes this and then affirms to himself that such things are not his responsibility. His task is to drive the bus. Perhaps the top-deck tourists will duck. If they are “agile,” they may see what's ahead and scramble into the lower deck. Everyone on the bus has some responsibility. But the final responsibility rests with the driver.

For a book I published back in 2020, it was sweet to see it rank #2 in "Creativity - Self Help" next to Rick Rubin. Bestseller rankings come and go, but it's cool to give Rubin some company

Undeterred by these challenges, Picasso's relentless experimentation and creativity led him to co-found the Cubist movement. He forever altered the course of modern art.
