Pegged the first business day after a run of conference travel as a vacation—my first in too long. Headed to Santa Fe.
Brought a couple books I have started reading. Graydon Carter’s memoir, When the Going Was Good: An Editor’s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines, offering a nice look into the era of print journalism—strategy and tactics apply well to digital, including legal publishing.
Carter, known for his work at Vanity Fair, covers the creative freedom and cultural impact that characterized that period—maybe not possible today.
Getting plenty of insight on how to build a network for legal publishers. It’s more about covering the people and their activity than just the law itself. Reminds me a lot of David Lat’s work in legal publishing with his publications, Underneath Their Robes, Above the Law, and now, Oroginal Jurisdicton.
Also reading Ethan Mollick’s Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI. Mollick, an Associate Professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, is recognized for his research on the practical applications of AI in business and education.
He advocates for “co-intelligence,” a partnership between humans and AI to enhance productivity and creativity.
