During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

I’m begging for a world where we stop using songs like this and Roar by Katy Perry as the standard backing tracks for boring ads.

Queridos creativos hispanos, por favor todos los días sin y con cuarentena veo que trabajamos duro y hacemos las cosas bien hechas (a veces hacemos más de lo que nos piden) y a la nuestros compañeros les gusta ynos siguen usando. Está bien que nuestro trabajo sea reconocido pero por favor no sean tímidos en decir que necesitamos un salario decente tan cuál como todos los demás que más bien hacen menos y todavía les pagan. Hay que insistir no solo para el individuo pero para ayudarnos a todos!

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Hello, All! I'm looking for recommendations on inspirational content for women leaders. I follow TEDWomen, many podcasts, and the Women's Conference among other sources. I'd love to hear a fresh perspective on business, trends, tech, marketing, equality in the workforce, etc. I'd love to learn something new. I'm at the VP level and have started a couple of companies, so nothing too junior, but open to many topics. Please share any speakers, books, webinars, or events that you may come across.
