Recently read Bad Blood (the book about Theranos) and it was really good!

I started this book and even though I was really interested in the topic and love true crime, it felt so badly written. It read like one of those HBS cases.

“As Elizabeth started out the window of her Silicon Valley office, the storm clouds were rolling in.”

And so much minute detail about company infighting... made you think there was going to be a question prompt at the end — “As she watched the gathering storm, Elizabeth pondered: how could she use her knowledge of people and organizations to defuse the situation?”

Couldn’t finish it.

Currently reading "implanting value pricing" by Ronald Baker. A great way of thinking about pricing professional services

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano

It’s hard for me to believe that the party of conservatives, which has historically stood proudly for important traditions, is now responsible for holding convention activities at the White House and having a Secretary of State engage in political activities while on official business in a foreign land.

Mid 2020, I turned down an opportunity to jump ship from my small law firm to a big law firm. At the time I had 4 years of practice under my belt with managerial experience. I thought the offer was reasonable, come in at a 2nd year level, but with the uncertainty of the times I played it safe. Now I regret it. What avenues do I have, if any, to jump into big law from a small firm?
