Sheltering in place during the Covid-19 pandemic, my coffees with current and ex-students (entrepreneurs, as well as employees early in their careers) have gone virtual.

Perhaps I was a book-reading snob, if that’s a thing. Actually, that’s definitely a thing. You know who you are, giving sideways glances to people who read books in any format other than the way God intended: physical books you can hold in your hand, made from the death of trees
