The Wizard of Oz being one of the most enduring works of American fiction while also being originally written hyper-specifically as a commentary on 1890s monetary policy is a good reminder that good execution beats good ideas.

The new Martha Stewart doc crystalized something for me. Stewart reminds me more of a pro athlete than an influencer. She sells lots of cookbooks and home goods for much the same reason Michael Jordan sold lots of shoes: Relentless proficiency is hypnotic. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
