Today is a sad day! The world lost a pioneer of company culture, the shoe industry, Downtown LV, web advertising, and also a gentle soul who gave a part of himself to countless people. We'll remember Tony for that and the happiness he brought to so many people. RIP Tony Hsieh.

Inspiring immigrant story of Fuzzy Khosrowshahi (my uncle). He started selling insurance, then ran a sandwich shop, then taught himself to code, and became the inventor and founder of Google Spreadsheets. He's now VP of Product Engineering at Slack.

I'm fascinated by the evolution of the music industry and as Spotify et al have transformed the consumer experience, it's just as interesting to dig into the changes to deals and money flows within the industry. I'm doing a series on @Kobalt to explore this. Read along!
