NeoCon was awesome, but here is my highlight for the week: a personal video from Jesse Cole, owner of the Savannah Bananas. The Savanna Bananas are a baseball team that has done for baseball what Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group has done for the circus. So why am I interested? Our industry is stuck in a 3 three-ring circus of #RTO, #Hybrid, and #WellBeing. William Gibson coined the phrase, "The future is already here, just not evenly distributed." We break from the past by finding positive outliers and learning their journey. That's not the same as copying their "formula." I recommend you buy Jesse's book, "Fans First." Jesse's video walks his talk and ignited my fan experience. Was it expensive to do? No Was it hard to do? No Did it send me over the top with enthusiasm? Absolutely What would it look like to create a culture of: Employees First Customers First This is the start of my conversation with the Savannah Bananas. Here is a link to Jesse's book: https://a.co/d/ixiMDQv

Have you heard of the Monty Hall problem? It’s a classic probability puzzle that challenges our intuition. Here's how the game works: You’re on a game show with three doors. Behind one door is a shiny new car (the prize!). Behind the other two are goats. You pick one door, let’s say Door 1.
