History of MiTek — another great Berkshire Company

Mitek is a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary — I finally got to reading this history of the firm which had been sitting on my desk for a long while. It gives great insights into the type of corporate culture that Berkshire loves, and that I aspire to create around me.

Cardiac Arrest

Surviving Cardiac Arrestwww.nytimes.com

In August, Jeffrey Feig, a 50-year-old financial executive in Manhattan and father of three young sons, became one of the more than 350,000 Americans who each year suffer a sudden cardiac arrest. His heart went into an erratic and ineffective rhythm and he stopped breathing.

But unlike 90 percent of people similarly afflicted, Mr. Feig not only lived to tell the tale but survived his near-death experience without any damage to his heart muscle or his brain, an outcome rarely seen following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Jeff Feig did this write up of his 10 life lessons from the experience on his public facebook page. They are excellent.

BrexitWatch

Britain doesn’t need to ‘take back control’ of immigration. We already have it.

Dodie Clark: why I love La La Land SO MUCHwww.youtube.com

Agnes Bletard interned with me this summer. She introduced me to Dodie Clark and the world of internet celebrities.

There is now a new path for talented people to fame and stardom which side-steps the middle man. Dodie is a wonderful personality — and I happen to agree with her that La La Land was a wonderful movie.

Eve Schoenrock also interned with me this summer and did a social media analysis of Aquamarine. Let me know if you are interested to read it and I can email it to you.
