Example:
Jeff, a marketing strategist who’s paid to understand the cultural zeitgeist and leverage the latest tech trends
into business results. He wakes up at about 6:30 am and goes out for a run. Once he gets back at home, he
jumps into the shower while the coffee is warming up. At 07:45, he wakes up his wife and both get breakfast
together.
Thy have just moved into New York City from Houston. He’s adapted to his new lifestyle.
(…)
He opens up NYT and scrolls through a few headlines. He opens his email and finds 21 new messages—
more than he has time to deal with.
Please come to our class with 3 to 5 takeaways from the readings (whatever you
found interesting, surprising, boring, etc.)
