Time Zone Troubles
I apologize for not doing a better job of advertising our event start times in light of the recent time zone change in the US. On March 12, my local time zone changed from Central Standard Time (CST, which is UTC −6) to Central Daylight Savings Time (CDT, which is UTC −5). My weekly live events now begin each Tuesday at 10:30am CDT, which is 15:30 UTC. It breaks my heart to see people trying to connect a few minutes after the show has concluded. I’m sorry, and I hope this note clears things up.
Next Tuesday’s Fill the Glass: Tracing Oracle
On my March 28 Fill the Glass, I’ll teach a couple of lessons from Jeff’s and my forthcoming book, Tracing Oracle. It’ll be a free head-start on some of the material we'll be covering in the insider-only Tracing Oracle course.
Today’s Fill the Glass: Dan Weinberger
So, to optimize your deli, you might need to make it intentionally uncomfortable. Oh, and a pandemic improves your business. Not just a little bit, but dramatically. What?!
Dan Weinberger has been running Weinberger’s Deli in Grapevine, Texas since 2002. He has served me some of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. In January, “Eat This Not That” named his restaurant the best deli in Texas. Dan identifies himself modestly as a great chef but a terrible businessman. Evidence suggests he underestimates himself. In Fill the Glass episode 8, meet Dan Weinberger: chef, businessman, optimizer.

Cary Millsap Weekly Newsletter A Lesson in Writing from 1944 This week’s featured article is one of my favorites from 2008. I watched the Presidential debate tonight. One of the candidates mentioned a pair of letters that General Dwight David Eisenhower wrote in 1944. He wrote one letter that he would use in the event of a victorious Normandy invasion, and he wrote another one that he would use in the event of a defeat.
