"[...] Before the Internet, it would really difficult to find someone, sit them down for 10 minutes and get them to work for you, and then fire them after those 10 munutes.

But with technology, you can actually find them, pay them the tiny amount of money and then get rid of them when you don't need them.[...]"

Hummingbirds use their wings to generate rotational lift. They have a unique joint at the shoulder that lets them move their wings in a figure-eight motion providing power on the upstroke and downstroke.

Thanks. I had not seen his work. I'm now following him on Twitter.

He uses visualizations in his articles the same as I do. His focus is on business strategy which is why it would not come up in a search with "tutor mentor" as key words.

Here's a graphic from his article at https://medium.com/wardleymaps/i-wasnt-expecting-that-dcfe122a2234

I've used the #FigureEight loop in many of my articles that focus on service and learning. Here's one. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2021/11/creating-service-and-learning.html

I'm a sucker for "Schoolhouse Rock!". Grew up with it as part of a delicious breakfast. Tonight ABC airs a 50th Anniversary Singalong Celebration special like network specials of yore. Looks goofy as hell. But I'll add it to the YouTube TV library anyway. 📺 8/7c on ABC and Stream Next Day on Hulu.
