...didn't do any sort of formal training in wine appreciation. Did you sort of teach yourself? I had a big advantage. I grew up in it. The chef that grew up with the grandma who cooks tends to always beat the chef that went to the culinary institute. It's in the blood. No. 2, as people have gotten to know me and my intensity and my hustle, it's become very obvious why I was successful. Because this was the only thing I focused on. Every day, 18 hours...

When you say homes need to be built on a 1-acre lot, when you say apartment renters can't live in your community - these concrete policies are what contribute to segregation...
...time when media are still reeling from the economic downturn and the Internet-led destruction of traditional advertising and subscription models, China has money to spend and offers new markets for foreign media. The risks are high. Not only could Western media players miss out on a big deal in China, they could sell their soul...
