Big, belated congratulations to my friend DARA KHOSROWSHAHI on being named CEO of UBER. He's super smart. We know this. But those who know him also know he's a good person. Great instincts on business, people and corporate soul. Fantastic choice from my perspective. The biggest mistake corporate boards make in these situations is picking for "big name" recognition (see YAHOO). "DK" is known, but not like JEFF IMMELT or MEG WHITMAN. But is by far the superior choice. It's a big job with big issues... Some great new REDEF SETS today... They're the first to come and the last to leave, workin' for that minimum wage. And probably no health insurance. For Labor Day, we honor music's hardest working and most undersung labor force. MusicSET: "We Are the Road Crew"... Scent is an instinctive part of life, tied to memory and personal expression. Creating fragrance is a global, multi-billion dollar industry with deep ties to agriculture and chemistry. Where is the culture of fragrance going, and where has it been? FashionSET: "The Art and Science of Scent"... No one wields more power on a college campus than head football coaches. They are recruiters, Xs-and-Os schemers, and fundraisers. While players come and go, they remain as the face of the program and the school. SportsSET: "Giants on the College Football Sidelines"... Been saying it for years! If you have a television and don't want everything looking like a '70s porn (so I hear), read this now... As an uncle I'm very uncomfortable at school pickup. I don't know the rules and some of the mommies are intimidating... Happy Birthday to ANDY SCHUON, RYAN SARVER, ADAM BAUER, and FRANK ADDANTE.
