It’s going to be fun watching Elly and Sal in these Reds / Dodgers matchups for years to come.
Unfortunately, both of them will be wearing Dodger blue when the teams face-off…and no Reds fans will blame them for leaving town.

Starbucks spends $400 million a year on software. Yesterday they announced they're moving off IBM and Microsoft to build their own custom systems in-house.
IBM dropped 3% and Salesforce dropped 4% on the news.
And honestly this is, unequivocally, the biggest signal I've seen since OpenAI and Anthropic launched their consulting arms back in Q1. The largest companies in the world are done paying for software that half fits how they work.
We saw this coming about a year ago. Moved everything we build off Airtable and low-code tools and went fully custom. Already paying off, and it's only going to compound from here.
This is the opportunity right now.
You get all of a company's data into one system. You build out a single operating system for the entire business. You cut out bad, redundant processes. Then you layer AI on top of it, under the correct processes.
That's the core of AI consulting. Helping companies actually operate better.
There are a lot of fly-by-night offerings circulating right now when it comes to Ai Services.
For example, 'second brains'.
Throwing scattered data into a second brain while the processes underneath stay broken does nothing. The companies who will absolutely destroy their competition over the next 5 years are rebuilding how they work from the ground up.
Starbucks is showing you what other companies will be doing over the next several years.
Your job is to position yourself to facilitate that process for as many companies as you can.

Have your 2026 health insurance premiums doubled or even tripled from last year?
Jon Husted – who voted against lowering the cost of health insurance 9 times – is to blame.

The White Collar Crack-Up
"In the past month, CEOs of major companies—Ford, Amazon, JP Morgan Chase—have come forward to warn of far greater losses in the next few years: AI reducing a quarter to a half of their white collar workforces."

This past Lord's Day, @KingsCross_Kirk formally commissioned @campusevangel in his evangelistic work of preaching on college campuses.
Please pray for him as the school year begins, and if you are inclined, you can also financially support him at campuspreacher.com.
Yes, Boomers should give away that 20% to some nice strangers rather than their kids, grandkids, church, charity of choice, alma mater, etc.
This can't be the expectation of young working couples. "Give us a 20% discount on your most valuable asset because...WE ARE ENTITLED!!!"

Instant replay...ruining sports for going on 20 years. #endallreplay #entertainment
Go Bucks. Team first. Well done.
Shout out to Will Howard.
Shout out to Ryan Day.
Shout out to THE Ohio State University.
Y’all taught me a life lesson that transcends football.

Hard to get excited for the playoffs as a Buckeye fan. It should have been an incredible build-up to the Big Ten Championship Game and the playoffs.
All ruined by "The Game" Day.
Hopefully, we'll see more offensive creativity and less "run it into the teeth of the defense."
Couldn't disagree more. Need to go the other way and eliminate 100% of instant replay from every sport. It has made the watching sports much worse, much less entertaining. It is entertainment, not brain surgery.

Great advice anyone can learn from
"Perfection is impossible.
In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.
But what percentage of points did I win?
54%
In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.
When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.
You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'
Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.
Here's why I'm telling you this.
When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.
But when it's behind you, it's behind you.
This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

Mitch McConnell is the most effective Republican legislator of my lifetime. Not my favorite, not the one that aligned most closely with my values. Just the best Republican political operator in Congress for 30+ years. #CocaineMitch
