2/ ...the #MichaelJordan vs Lebron debate has heated up over the years.
I love ‘Bron but obvi think MJ is 🐐.
From a persuasion standpoint “6 for 6 with 6 Finals MVPs” is pretty much perfection...
3/ ...BUT if Lebron was ever going to leap frog MJ, Skip Bayless could make it happen..and here’s how...
4/ ... there’s a famous saying in US politics that “only Nixon could go to China”...
5/...in 1972, Richard Nixon went to China and met Chairman Mao. He became the first US president to visit China since the Chinese communist party took power in 1949 (here’s a really good book: amazon.com/Nixon-Mao-Week…) ...
6/...the reason Nixon “was the only one that could go to China” was because he was an ardent anti-Communist and basically couldn’t be accused by the Right of “being soft on communism” if he visited Mao..
7/...so he did and began the thawing of relationships between America and Communist China (which had the double effect of isolating the other major Communist power — USSR)...
8/...so back to Skip Bayless...he has been the biggest anti-Lebron commentator for at least a decade AND Skip loves MJ.
Basically, Skip is the only one that “can go to China” in the MJ/LBJ GOAT debate ...
9/ ...if he was to ever say “LBJ is better than MJ”, the world would literally stop spinning on its axis (and Lebron WOULD be GOAT).
No one could accuse Skip of “going soft on Lebron”...
10/...so yeah, there’s my thread on the Lebron vs MJ GOAT debate.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) trained an AI slideshow maker called “Decker” on 900 templates and apparently gotten so popular that “some of its consultants are fretting about job security.”
Sorry, called “Deckster”. That excerpt was from this BI piece that also looked at McKinsey and Deloitte AI uses: businessinsider.com/consulting-ai-…
The Mckinsey chatbot is used by 70% of firm but same anonymous job board said it’s "functional enough" and best for "very low stakes issues." x.com/bearlyai/statu…
Here’s a r/consulting thread based on Computer World last year. Deckster was launched internally March 2024…some think it’s BS…some think it helps with cold start (B- quality): reddit.com/r/consulting/s…
never forget that episode of “Nathan For You” when he launched a fire detector product and tried to avoid import tariffs by turning it into a music device
One company that has been very good at navigating international food tariffs/regulations is Trader Joe’s. Built its dairy and wine businesses by finding workarounds.
