Dark HistoryThe Devil's Secretaries or Scapegoats? The Witches History ErasedHi friends, happy Wednesday!
So the other night I was deep into my usual bedtime routine of doomscrolling, and I stumbled across this headline that said: “DID YOU KNOW: The Last Witch Trial Was in 1944.”
And I was like… I’m sorry, what? 1944? Like while the rest of the world was fighting Nazis, someone was in a courtroom yelling, “She’s a WITCH”? Be for real.

Future CommerceRevisited: ‘The Uncorkening’This week, we revisit “The Uncorkening.” A spoken-word version of our Insiders essay of the same name, this episode is one of our most popular.

It’s been three years since the episode’s first airing, but the content still resonates. This could largely be attributed to many “digitally native darlings” still struggling to maintain their positioning in a crowded mar...

Masters of ScaleThe 4 core principles of crisis management, w/Ellen Kullman (DuPont, Carbon)To survive a crisis, you have to double down on who you already are as a company. This is something Ellen Kullman knows, having led DuPont through the 2008-2009 financial crisis, and taken the CEO role at 3D-printing unicorn Carbon only weeks before Covid hit. Through her years as a leader, Ellen has developed four crisis principles that allowed her to lead teams and thrive through pandemic, economic meltdown, and beyond. The key? Practicing the principles in calmer times, before crisis hits. Because as Reid says: there's no such thing as a crisis playbook. There's just your playbook. Cameos...

BoF deputy editor Brian Baskin and retail correspondent Cathaleen Chen join Lauren Sherman to analyse the past, present and future of the market. Background: About a decade ago, a number of flashy direct-to-consumer brands peddling premium products and promising to cut out retail’s middlemen emerged on the scene.

The word "entrepreneur" was coined by Richard Cantillon, meaning "someone who takes risks."
One of the four poor students who founded Warby Parker, Neil Blumenthal, said they wouldn't drop out of school.
"We're not sure it's a good idea, and we don't know if we will succeed. We're working on it in our spare time."
Joseph Raffiee and Jie Feng found entrepreneurs who keep their original jobs are 33% less likely to fail than the risk-takers who leave their jobs.
