Way back in the early eighties, I was privileged to be part of the original IBM PC development team, led by Don Estridge. He was a great leader, and one of very few who have even been able to dent the barriers to real change in a large corporation. We struggled with the differences between intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, and I learned much about both.

Yesterday, I got caught up in letting my frustration over the election boil over onto Twitter, and it's definitely not the first time. It made me ask the following question: Were we better off in 2016 having Facebook and Twitter around? I talked about it with a few people.

By Stephan Aarstol, “ The Five-Hour Workday: Live Differently, Unlock Productivity, and Find Happiness “ The American workforce has become lazy. I estimate, conservatively, that knowledge workers are four times as efficient as they were 20 years ago. That’s why I moved my company to a five-hour workday about a year-and-a-half ago. We work 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. with no lunch; then, we leave.

We just finished 48in48 in NYC, and it was a blast. I’ll be posting a recap shortly (similar to the 48in48 Atlanta recap ,) but if you’re super eager to see how it went, you can check out the hashtag. But this post is about Atlanta. I love many cities, with London and Chicago being at the top, but Atlanta is the place for me.
