Who am I?
I'm a Market Research Manager in iTunes at Apple. Before that, I co-founded a teddy bear company called FanZanimal. Before that I went to Harvard Business School. Before that I worked for Bain & Company. Before that I went to Brown University and played lacrosse. Before that I went to Milton Academy. Before that I went to Meadowbrook. Before that I had nothing to do but root for the Red Sox.

The Science Behind Failed Resolutions
Here’s a month old WSJ article that I just got around to reading. I wish I remembered how I originally found it, but I don’t. It was probably from GiveMeSomethingToRead.com.
The article makes the case that the portion of your brain that controls willpower behaves like a muscle. This means both that it can tire in the short run, and that it can be strengthened over time.
I put this in the category of concepts so profound that, once you hear it, you feel like you always knew it. It makes sense, but it’s not obvious.
