I think that, for me, is the biggest difference.'"

Stern School of Business, told InsideSources. 'The fintech companies have wanted a similar kind of national charter because they are obviously going to be headquartered someplace, but especially for fintech companies nowadays, scale is everything.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "Finally: a lively, evidence-based book about how to battle biases, champion diversity and inclusion, and advocate for those who lack power and privilege. An unusually thoughtful psychologist makes a convincing case that being an ally isn’t about being a good person—it’s about constantly striving to be a better person."

Excerpt from NPR -- "So the first great untruth that we talk about is what doesn't kill you makes you weaker. So obviously, everybody knows the, you know, the great truth is what doesn't kill you makes you stronger because people are anti-fragile. We actually need challenges. We need to sometimes even be afraid in order to overcome our fears. And if we try to protect kids from that, we actually are damaging them."

What happens if we preserve the status quo and we wind up with polarized political views?"

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "You can liken it to aiming for a healthy diet, Dr. Alter explains: 'Older kids understand the concept of balance intuitively -- they know that it’s important to eat healthy foods alongside candy and dessert, and the same is true of the "empty calories" that come from spending too much time passively gazing at screens. There’s a time for screens, but not at the expense of time for physical activity and connecting with real people in real time.'"

Excerpt from Foreign Affairs -- "Ghemawat bases his recommendations, in part, on the distance between the country in question and the company’s home—measured not only in geographic terms but also in terms of language and culture. Executives, he warns, should consider each potential new market carefully and critically. Ghemawat aims his advice at businesspeople (and business students), but his work will also enlighten readers outside the business world who want to understand international trade and investment."
