  1. I talked to the CEO of Yondr (the magnetic phone pouches used in schools). What surprised me was how much he really eats his own dogfood -- he uses a flip phone himself and bans AI tools for his employees. He HATES social media! www.businessinsider.com/yondr-ceo-gr...

    Yondr makes the zippered pouches for phone-free zones, like schools and concerts. We asked the CEO about social media — and why he uses a flip phone.

    She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

    The past isn’t past.
