I’m still angry. What is happening in Minnesota infringes on the rights of our residents and is disruptive, cruel, and dangerous.
Call your elected officials and demand they take actions against this surge and its funding. We cannot live like this.
Take care of each other.

I take an inordinate amount of pride in finding creative solutions to everyday problems around the house.
Just got a my son’s stuck trumpet valve out by hooking a ratchet strap to my vehicle hitch so I’ll be intolerable & getting eye rolls around my house until tomorrow.

My kids like to challenge me to make intricate pancake shapes. Today my oldest who is a big @Timberwolves fan asked for “Ant breaking his hand dunking on Collins.” It won’t be the next NBA logo, but I think I captured the essence

Business owners: check your profile ask for & check the sources in your AI research. This MN co is suing Google for connecting it to lawsuits it wasn't a party to in the company overview. AI is a great tool, but you're accountable for how you use it. startribune.com/google-ai-ov…

AI diligence research I ran this week connected an owner to entities they didn't own a lawsuit they weren't party to. It missed others in both categories that were relevant. AI delivers productivity, but critical thinking and attention to detail still matter A LOT!

"Hi this is _______ calling you back to schedule your appointment. Can you please hold while I look at our calendar?" SEVEN MINUTES LATER I'm presented with options!
Every business is "messy". Don't show your customer your mess unless you need to. Value their time & experience.

Listen to @JaySachetti and do your research on this topic if you're in residential home services. He's doing it the right way...which also helps you improve the customer experience, retain team members, and remove the stress of constant risk.

Update: someone claimed it & will have a great day at the event. I believe there still a couple spots left if you want to buy a ticket.

Our entire family read today’s tremendous StarTribune feature by @chipscoggins cover to cover.
Even if you’re not a sports fan, you’ll enjoy this unique insight into the rigors & quirks of game day prep for elite athletes. Chip’s writing is well worth your time as usual.

Who are the experts / have experience in bringing a brand to a new city? Own Perfection Closets in Chicago and bringing it to Minneapolis and then other cities. What are the areas to focus on - SEO? Paid? Radio? Print? TV?
Who should I be talking to here?
Any retweets are appreciated

If your kid is into sports & stats, I highly recommend @MatthewColler’s new book on PFF. My 13YO read it TWICE within a week of receiving it & is now writing a stats column for his school newspaper.
Support a great indie sports journalist & buy it for a kid, friend, yourself

Yeah - learned that the hard way :) If not, reduce the process scope in the SOP. Getting to 85% quickly so the team knows they can fit it in their day is such a momentum builder. I usually say "could a reasonable person w/ context execute this in 95% of scenarios?"

You’re afforded a lot of time & chances to figure the rest out when you start here 👇
Spotted at a St. Paul stop yesterday.
Be kind to each other (& yourself) today.
