Everyone alright? Things are feeling a little hostile out there. Maybe it's the usual post-Thanksgiving-pre-Christmas angst, maybe it's the moon, maybe it's the economy, maybe we can blame it on the CGMA somehow. Whatever it is, I'm sensing a major disturbance. Wanna talk about it? I'll crack my second Rockstar of the day and you can tell me all about it.
If you'd prefer not to talk about the fact that you have more issues than National Geographic, here are a few other items that may be worth discussing.
This comment from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at the memorial for Amazon's first CFO: It was during that meal Bezos realized Covey was the right person for the job. The two discussed her childhood, her dual Harvard degrees in business and law. Toward the end, Covey casually mentioned she had managed the second-highest score on the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam, trumping nearly 70,000 others who took it that year. "Joy, really? The second-highest?" Bezos teased. Shot back Covey: "I didn't study."
