Until now I never thought about these “experiences”. I just had them. It was life. But as a business blogger who reads other business blogs, I’m struck by how culturally homogeneous they can be at a content level and I’m surprised—particularly when it’s an American blog. Diversity matters. In all analytics. It’s why I write on marketing astute rappers who once sold drugs, and Ivy League professors who sell Honest Tea.
Business is global. It’s a personal fascination. And I think the best ideas about it come from broad jagged places; not tidy narrow ones. I do. Thank you for teaching me.
