We made Korean Bibimbap for dinner last night as we sat down to watch more episodes of Let’s Eat but I’m just now going through the pictures, a day later. Although, technically, it was slightly less than authentic because our local supermarket didn’t have any bean sprouts!? (How is that even possible?) The produce guy knew…
Are you in the mood for a case study resource for your own investment policy manual? If so, brace yourself because this one is heartbreaking. You can learn a lot from it, and save your own family a great deal of tragedy, but it’s going to involve surveying the ruins of the lives of others…
Imagine you have a policy with an insurance company. This insurance company is mutually run, which means there are no stockholders.

In a matter of a few hours, we’ve gone from putting our house on the market and leaving our home state back to square one. When I woke up, this is not how I anticipated spending my day. This morning, the Supreme Court effectively struck down the marriage bans in 11 states, five of which were involved in…
Like the residents of Lake Wobegon, another year of better data analytics and audience growth has cemented what we’ve already known: As a group, you’re way above average. You are considerably richer and better educated the average person in the United States, more likely to identify as politically independent, more likely to have children, and skew…

Mental Model: Intergenerational Transmission and What It Has to Do With Adrian Peterson Beating His Child A huge percentage of the people in this community are fans of the mental model concept – ideas, like tools, that can be used to analyze, study, and understand both why and how something is happening – made popular by Charles…
