I belong to 2 alumni associations (undergrad and b-school). Both use Professional Book Club (pbc.guru) to run virtual book clubs. See if your alumni association offers it, too.

Most of the books have been good (only a few clunkers) and I can honestly say they’ve exposed me to topics and authors I probably would have otherwise skipped.

Honestly the goop one looks interesting

Mixed them up today with some OJ, Fairlife milk, unflavored protein powder, spinach, hemp seeds and chia seeds. Best smoothie yet!

Okay so companies like Shell report record profits but we have crazy high inflation. So do we blame biden for inflation and praise him for corporate performance? Or blame the corporations and acknowledge that biden isn’t actually responsible for absurd global inflation?
