The People Equation
FEBRUARY 28, 2019
As a foodie, I love all kinds of mash-ups. From bacon apple pie to mac and cheese quesadillas it’s stimulating to creatively pair ingredients in unexpected ways.

Incentives are dangerous, and not just because people game them. They often yield collateral damage.
