Without question the company as a whole performed admirably during the depths of the pandemic, but just as clearly coming together in our respective work locations will allow us to be much better. The pandemic has taken a toll on everyone, everywhere. It is time to move forward with our lives.

The private equity firms are extremely flush with cash, financing and funding is very, very attractive and so you’re seeing the amount of activity that’s being driven by private equity firms increasing. I think that will continue for a period of time, but the levels at which it’s running I don’t think are long-term sustainable.

Superhero, action and horror movies are performing well in theaters, particularly when they are offered exclusively and not simultaneously available to stream. But parts of the business remain down.

Someone once said Wieden+Kennedy is high school with money. But come back at 3 in the morning and it’s like Santa’s workshop. The elves don’t go home at 5. It’s hard work. It’s physically hard, it’s mentally hard. It’s a hard sell to con people into running your crazy ideas.

[No] matter how fast online shopping grows, consumers still find value in brick-and-mortar retail stores. Savvy retailers are answering that call by taking innovative approaches to how they leverage their physical stores. Whether it is providing more immersive or value-added in-store experiences … or leveraging the store for order fulfillment or returns processing, retail real estate is no longer just products on display, but rather omnichannel hubs.

There’s no longer a blanket statement that everybody who’s at increased risk for heart disease, even though they never had a heart attack, should be on aspirin. We need to be smarter at matching primary prevention to the people who will benefit the most and have the least risk of harms.

[The drop in the unemployment rate] represents a remarkably speedy recovery in the labor market—attaining sub-5 percent unemployment a mere 17 months after the end of the deepest recession in modern times. By contrast, in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the jobless rate did not reach 4.8 percent until January 2016, six and a half years after the technical end of that recession.

I've talked to a lot of businesses that have said some people have just decided to walk away from the industry they're working in, and they're thinking about what's next for them. So I think that the work-life balance has played a big role in this.

Remote work has allowed people to eliminate stressful commutes, reduce daily expenses, and increase quality time with family and friends. At the same time, many workers miss their colleagues, the camaraderie of the office, and the learning opportunities that come from serendipitous interactions.

Consumers might see news about port backups, but that won’t hit home until they try to buy the toy of the year and can't get it. That’s when they’ll hit crisis mode.

Will the next surges be as big as this current one? It’s not likely, but it’s possible. When you have 70 million people left who have not been vaccinated, many of whom have not yet been infected, that’s a lot of human wood for this coronavirus human forest fire to burn.
