| Apple built a $24,603.89 monstrosity that everyone hated… Posted: 02 May 2022 02:40 PM PDT  Have you ever got an idea that you KNEW was a winner, only to waste a ton of time trying to make it work?
Well…
You're not alone.
Even the most successful companies have the occasional "swing and a miss".
Like Apple:
Back in 1980, they'd had a big win with their Apple II computer. So naturally they got to work on the next generation Apple III.
Only this time they decided to shake up the development process.
Rather than assign it to Steve Wozniak — who'd designed all their previous models — they put an entire team of engineers on the project.
It took two full years to get the Apple III to market (instead of the projected 10 months). The only thing was, the machine had some pretty big flaws.
The chassis was made of aluminum. It had no fan. And it would overheat all the time.
On top of that, it would also occasionally crash when you clicked "Save."
Apple started selling the Apple III models with jaw-dropping price tags: from $4,340 to $7,800.
In today's money, that's somewhere between $13,689.86 and $24,603.89. (To put that in perspective, a brand-new 2020 Subaru Forester costs $24,495 today.)
It was crazy expensive. But the team was convinced they could find a way to make it work.
Despite their best efforts, there was a laundry list of problems with the machine. After launching, it turned out to be a massive flop. They wasted a ton of money on the project.
More importantly, they waste a ton of TIME.
Time they could never get back.
Why am I telling you all this?
And what does any of this have to do with YOU and your company?
Here's the lesson in all this:
If something feels like a good idea, it's always smart to back up your hunches with data.
Apple isn't the only company who's been guilty of this. In the 1950s, Ford spent over TWO BILLION dollars (in today's money) developing their Edsel model only to find out that…
No one wanted it!
If you're a founder, an operator, or a rising star in your company... can you really afford to chase a bad idea?
Wouldn't you sleep a lot better at night knowing where your industry is headed? Where public sentiment is headed? Which directions markets are moving and how they're evolving?
Why not just ride the wave of where popular markets are already heading?
The good news is, my team and I have already done ALL of the hard work for you.

| What to do if you don’t like your kid’s friend Posted: 02 May 2022 02:01 PM PDT Plus, a surprising baby name is getting more popular  This year was my son's first year of preschool; he'll be wrapping up soon for summer break. Pandemic notwithstanding, it's been a great experience for him, and I love his teachers and classmates — and I've also enjoyed their parents, too. But I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I encounter the scenario that senior reporter Kelsey Borresen wrote about last week: What to do if you don't like your kid's friend? I know people in this boat, and it's a tricky situation to navigate. If you're looking for some guidance, this is a good place to start. |
I'm going to try something a little different in an upcoming newsletter: I'd love to know what parenting concerns are on your mind. Do you have any questions you'd like me to get answered? Email me at ashley@huffpost.com and I'll try to address it. Best, Ashley Rockman |

New in the world of baby names |
The British royal family often influences the popularity of baby names, even here in the U.S. The names George, Charlotte and Louis all grew in popularity in the years following the births of Will and Kate's children. One name that's been climbing up the list with ties to the monarchy is a bit more surprising: Camilla. |

| Folklife News & Events: Homegrown Concert: Herb Ohta Jr., 'Ukulele Virtuoso from Hawai'i May 4 Noon Posted: 02 May 2022 11:38 AM PDT | You are subscribed to Folklife News & Events from the Library of Congress. Join us for the American Folklife Center's Homegrown 2022 concert, starting May 4 at noon. Herb Ohta Jr., 'Ukulele Virtuoso from Hawai'i
International recording artist Herb Ohta, Jr., is one of today's most prolific 'ukulele masters. Influenced by Jazz, R&B, Latin and Brazilian music, as well as traditional Hawaiian sounds, he puts his stamp on Hawaiian music by pushing the limits of tone and technique on this beautiful instrument. The son of 'ukulele legend "Ohta-san," he started playing at the age of three, and began teaching at the age of nine. He now shares the music of Hawai'i and the beauty of the 'ukulele with people around the world, performing concerts and conducting instructional workshops. Herb's recording debut was in 1990 on one of his father's albums. Since then, he has appeared on over 50 recordings, with 15 Solo and 13 duet recordings to his credit. He has won seven Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards and four Hawai'i Music Awards. He has issued three nationally distributed releases in Japan and one in Taiwan. He has co-authored two 'ukulele instructional books with GRAMMY Award winner Daniel Ho, which were released in Japan and the United States, and has published a songbook of his arrangements in Korea. Along with Herb Ohta, Jr.'s concert, you'll find an interview with him and some related links to explore...all at our blog Folklife Today. The videos won't appear until about noon on May 4, at which point they'll be at the link! If you visit the link before that, you can check out our blog...and subscribe! Click here for the premiere!
