Just watched this incredible Ted talk from Danny Meyer, and shared some of the lessons with my team at Chick-fil-A Millsboro. He reminds us that the original restaurant came from the word "ristore," which means to restore. This is why people come to eat with us. So how do we help them feel restored? He gives four simple ways: 1. Eye contact: people want to be seen. 2. Smiles: people want to know you're happy to see them. 3. Hugs: people want to know the provision of pleasure is mutual 4. Food (GREAT Food): people want to be fed from the moment they're born My charge to the team: let's help provide that restoration every human being needs when they walk through our doors. https://lnkd.in/eQJ9d-97

So I got sent this video, and I want to say this: 1) Billy Cobham is amazing. Listen to more of him 2) Yussuf Dayes is amazing. Listen to more of him. 3) I doubt either Billy or Yussuf are on that "vs" ting, especially since Billy is a grown ass man, and Yussuf went to Billy for lessons 4) Yussuf was one of the first people I interviewed as a jazz journalist; he's the real deal 5) Pele was the real deal, Messi is the real deal. Comparing Pele to Messi doesn't improve you, Pele or Messi 6) see 1) & 2) above 7) This is why I paid my own money to arrange a sit down and interview with the Dayes brothers - and Wayne Francis - back in the day. Because I wanted him to tell his side of the story, not have someone use his image and likeness to fuel some clickbait culture war; people who do this care nothing for either black people or the culture. 8) see 6) above 9) The youngers are making waves and their are incubating that - as far as I can see, away from the the tendency to rivalry, comparison, and badmind. That's why the ezra collective is a collective, that's why Kollecktiva is a collective 10) had the video just put Cobham and Dayes side by side and showed similarities, it would have been more in keeping with the culture . 11) when I was playing jazz music regularly and when I was Yussuf's age, all sorts of grown people who needed to know better were making all sorts of comparisons between me and non-black musicians in order to get attention, sales, or just to pass the time. Most of those people are dead now, Strangely they all also predicted the death of jazz. As Yussuf demonstrates, Jazz lives on. I think Billy will be happy with that. 12) See 8 above 13) regarding point 7) - is it time for me to come out here and school these jive jazz journalists again or nah? https://lnkd.in/eqXKywDv #jazz
