Hi, this is the personal web site of Jack Baty. Welcome.
Partner at Fusionary since 1995. Before that it gets kind of fuzzy. Every day I get to work with great people doing fun and interesting things. Pretty neat, eh?
Quick review of Seth Godin’s The Dip.
The book is short and sweet, but could’ve been a blog post instead. I found myself thinking “Okay, I get it!” about a quarter of the way through. Here’s my summary…
And all the “best in the world” stuff didn’t really help. It’s still worth the read.
“That’s my boyfriend!” she tells us
as the grey-haired man pushes himself
slowly backward. Using his feet.
The wheelchair moved more easily that way.
“I think the world of her,” he says
being careful not to move too quickly
lest he jar his neck brace. (She calls it a “halo.”)
His age amplifying his injuries
Her face, at age 91, beams as he says this.
And she suddenly looks exactly
as I imagine she did at age 18
Kind words will do that
Those kind in particular
Especially in this place
