Just started Succession. Does the world of advertising have a family similar to the Roys?

Not a family, but the big 4 holding companies are fueled by the same… energy.

The Bollore family, which owns Havas/Vivendi, perhaps? The father was arrested over bribery and corruption charges in Africa a few years ago. He went Full Beast, I'm guessing, and probably paid some fines and got a slap on the wrist.

He’s like a shipping magnet or something. I would imagine bribing people is essentially required at most ports on the planet.

Ad people arent that influential. Most cant even get a hold of CEO of a fortune 500 company.

This is frighteningly accurate.

Sorrell, Levy, Edelman… but they’re all a scale of magnitude apart, if we look a little outside of advertising to the media landscape more broadly, to the Murdoch’s.

My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

I work in Florida where the Parental Rights law concerning gender theory and sexuality in k-3 is currently being labeled the "Don't Say Gay Bill".

I agree that we should leave those choices up to the parents. Do you guys have similar things happening where you're at?

Hi All, I'm looking for Product folks who'd be interested in chatting with me about their experience in Google, the products they work on, the journey into Google, what they look for while hiring, what kind of skills will be an asset. I am a Product Manager in a different company now, but joining Google is a long time goal, hoping to learn from your experience and align my learnings to be a solid candidate in the near future. Not applying now but planning the best way of getting there. Thanks!

How do you integrate cardio and strength training? I do running & peloton for cardio, Solidcore (full-body Pilates) for strength training, and yoga for flexibility. But I can’t figure out an optimal way to combine them. Cardio/strength on alternate days makes it hard to have rest days; doing both on the same day means whichever workout I do second seems to suffer. Is there a “best” way to organize my calendar to get good results from all of my workouts?
