1/ Quick nostalgia—& a nod of immense gratitude

We just had @CiPrep Board mtg
(where I serve as Chairman).

There is INCREDIBLE partnership between these two heads of Coney Island Prep—@jacobmnookin + Leslie-Bernard Joseph...going back a decade.

They'll kill me for this
2/ 10+ years ago this was the public lottery with hundreds of families clamoring to get a mere 90 coveted inaugural 5th grade spots...for Coney Island Prep Public Charter School

@jacobmnookin pulled the first names as Leslie (ever the snazzy dresser) entered them in...
3/ Today: over 1,000 scholars, record high acceptance + matriculation to college—(most are the 1st to attend in their family with many from families of 4 making less than $30k TOTAL) + over 80% staying in college!

Excited for the NEXT 10 years.

And also...
4/ Leslie-Bernard Joseph impresses NOT b/c he went to Princeton + Stanford + Stanford Law + got a Soros scholarship + TFA+ McKinsey + Skadden + Harlem Children's Zone.

But BECAUSE he can dance-off with my little ones and hold his own (cartwheel + split and sass and all!😇

1/ TRIGGER WARNING.
Anyone having spent time + money on an MBA will find this maddening + seek to refute it.

-Do MBA programs produce CEOs who are better at running companies? NO.

-Do elite MBA programs produce better CEOs than other MBA programs? NO. institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1db3j…

3/ LOVE this anecdote of the 100 yr old Billionaire CEO with no MBA...

This week’s reporting in Ireland about the possible shape of the UK food tariff regime in no deal has understandably focused on what it could mean for the Irish beef sector. But there are also implications for the border.
Assume the speculation is right that the UK slashes tariffs on citrus fruit (no domestic producer to support). There’s now an angle for an entrepreneur to legally import tariff free oranges into Belfast & then drive them across the border.
Our citrus fruit entrepreneur can now turn a profit by exploiting the tariff differential on the two parts of the island. If he’s ambitious maybe he wants to move his smuggled fruit further into the EU.

OKAY, OKAY, FINE, I WILL TWEET THE BROKEN-HEARTED CRUSH LETTER. But first, we'll need some backstory...
2/ It is 2008, & I live in Edinburgh. I work at a Blackwell's Bookshop, on the 2nd floor. My job is to order academic texts for the store. I am okay at it, not great. One afternoon, I'm working at the counter beside this lovely young chap named Greg. We are bantering, as we do.
3/ Then, suddenly, the cutest, sexiest blonde walks up to the counter. She's wearing a black leather jacket and has a motorcycle helmet under her arm.

#38 #TheFloridaProject 3,5/5 30 menit berlalu gue hanya melihat penggambaran kenakalan anak-anak, namun kebelakang makin intens menyentuh sisi lain kehidupan single parent, Ekonomi dan krama keluarga Amerika. Tapi best supporting role untuk Willem Dafoe kok agak berlebihan yah?
#39 #JusticeLeague 3/5 jadi ini cuman buat ngelawan Steppenwolf, Batman dkk bakar dupa dan melakukan ritual klenik untuk membangkitkan Superman dari kuburan? ..... hhhmmmm. Beklah.
#40 #TheSquare 3/5 Perwakilan Swedia untuk Oscar 2018 ini agak membosankan, 2 masalah utama disajikan, pekerjaan di museum seni dan hp yang hilang berbuntut masalah panjang, yg menarik tampilan Terry Notary sbg Apes di gala dinner dan anak kecil yg dituduh mencuri hp. Sisanya meh
