Very sad to see passing of Chris Spatola @espn . In high school, spent many hours w/ him shooting hoops after practice, his dad was our football/hoops coach. Followed his career. He was an incredible kid - sweet, driven, respectful. Best to his family. nytimes.com/athletic/7622912…

Was picking up books at local bookstore. randomly saw this book. One of the best lines applies to life: “Write an imperfect story. You will edit it later.” Don’t know author but bravo on great advice for storytelling instagram.com/allendeisabel/…

Hot take: I think @Muse is an under-covered significant change to the future of consumption & commerce. After testing it, Muse deeply changed my content use. If content=king, distribution=queen, Muse=prince. Muse type products will reset even biggest platforms (vid/shop/news)

.@Cannes_Lions is always a special event but made more special this year by Disney / ESPN announcing a partnership with our team at @Flowcode & @PublicisGroupe Sports to power @espn Fan House for 2026 College Football 🏈 Thank you to @ritaferro, Leader of @disneyadsales. Let’s kick off! 🚀

George Washington rode through Greenwich April 12th 1776 - reenactment happened today. People broke out in song. I love America. All of it. Incredible journey for 250 years with all the ups and downs - but the ideas and progress have changed the world.

When the office dog has a @TheMasters outfit on….you know it’s time to turn on the office TV’s….good dog Remy!!!

In 1999 business trip, read @HarvardBiz article by Peter Drucker - “Managing Onself” a.co/d/0htJnCQ1 - changed my viewpoint - strengths, relationships, how people learn. Ai is changing work. A human’s natural skills aren’t. Young leaders must read. Just re-read.

Most brands measure clicks. But what about the people who actually show up? If someone burns cash or calories to interact with your brand… what are you doing for them?

🚨 Brands — it’s time to rethink this.

Just hit Kalshi bet on Pats - was at 28-3 comeback. Go Pats!!!

One highlight this summer was being able to spend time with @DogonMo. I met Dogon almost 10 years ago on a video call from my children's school to his refugee camp in Rawanda.  Dogon ended up coming to the US and going to @nyuniversity -  and writing a @nytimes best seller on being a refugee and a survivor of the Genocide in Rwanda.  Dogon was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize this year.  He is just getting started and was a great addition to our lives and family....and fun to swim with him in the ocean this summer with Dogon and my son Jack....and hang with Nancy, Hope, Summer, my parents, and our whole extended family....

AI is the biggest shift I’ve seen since the internet boom... and I’m treating it the same way. #AI #internetboom #founderstories #startup #flowcode #techstartup

AI is the 1,000-pound gorilla in every boardroom right now. Some leaders are optimistic but cautious, others are actively questioning its long-term impact. At Flowcode, we’ve made our position clear... we’re fully embracing it. flowcode.com #podcast #AI #founder #startupfounder #startup #tech #futureofwork #founderstory

I love being in NYC everyday for many reasons, but one of the biggest - New York always gives back. Alan Schwartz hosted Nancy Armstrong and I at Robin Hood again this year and here are my take-aways: Robinhood raised $71M for the most needy in NYC and 100% of proceeds always go to the charities. Robin Hood attracts incredible people and talent to give in a way that few other organizations can - and loved seeing @nflcommish and the @NFL being one of the chairs of the event. Keith Urban is fire. The guy leaves it on the field - he was incredible. Pure talent meets pure passion. NYC Positive Gangsters: We saw so many people who quietly give and it makes NYC a community. Robin Hood is a bold event but there are a lot of quiet givers Events in real life are the most impactful for humans. And that's what we say at Flowcode. IRL = Rules. Only Downside: Knicks. I am a Boston @Celtics fan and it was getting scores on my phone. Go Celtics. Go NY, GO.

Simplicity is one of the hardest things to get right in business—and one of the most valuable. Revisiting Insanely Simple by Ken Segall this week. The way Apple protected simplicity wasn’t style—it was strategy. At Flowcode, we aim for that same discipline. Still learning from this book years later. —TA #flowreads #podcast #booktalk #book #inspirational #simplicity #apple

Unfortunately I can’t make it to @TheMasters this year, so we hosted our own version in SoHo. Pro golfers, caddies, and a green jacket ceremony—because @Flowcode loves sports, and sports love Flowcode. Watch 'til the end to see who walked away with it! #flowcode #themasters #progolf #qrocde #augusta #caddy #golf
