A Mysterious Package: What Was in the Box A most interesting thing happened the week before I started my new job in Buffalo.

The more you think you know,
The more you don’t know,
And that’s ok.

The more answers,
The more questions.
That’s normal.

You are ok.
Just be you.
That’s all you can control. πŸ”‘

Just like the technology of the iPhone disrupted, leading to the proliferation of social media … πŸ‘‹

AI is disrupting now. It is another time of chaos. Those who embrace the flow of change will succeed. It’s just #history repeating itself again.

Thanks Ernie, it’s another disruption era with AI, kind of like how social media was back in the day. So carefully thinking about this and over time will have more thoughts on that. In meantime expect some reflections and creative writing πŸ‘

Getting tired of reading content that is so obviously AI-generated.

Makes me sad as a writer.

Thank you, there’s always much more to the story. I have some bias having worked there, but think the media narrative misses some critical things.

Right. That’s the thing, who can you hire.. TB FLA have both been impressive. I know the narrative about taxes is gaining steam but they also deserve tons of credit.

Yeah, that makes sense, Jacob. I think in the business world sustainability is always the name of the game - leads to growth. And it’s hard to achieve when they sold off assets & fell to bottom. But you are right about incremental growth, and hitting that first bar-playoffs. They certainly are aware

Interesting!! Do you mean not getting over the hump to win it all? Could definitely be worse. Being in the mix and a contender is always step 1.

Why This Time Around May Be Different for the Buffalo Sabres They’re at a crossroads and there are reasons to be hopeful.

It’s easy to criticize the Sabres, but here’s why I genuinely believe they’ll turn things around: ckanalley.substack.com/p/why-this-t...

Thanks for reading. There’s definitely reason for the hope. The Canes are a good example of how an organization can build for sustained success.

Alright, Bluesky. That Sabres deep dive from @matthewfairburn.bsky.social was very interesting.

But as a former employee of Sabres/PSE, a quote in there really bothered me. I started to write a response, and kept going.

Hit like to get pinged when the substack officially drops.
