Monday Morning Memo



Callie’s Cards is a ridiculously fun new business currently being launched by the adolescent daughter of Brian Brushwood, one of the Wizard of Ads partners. He shot this video with Callie in the tower at Wizard Academy. Here is what Brian says:

Callie Brushwood is fierce, fearless, and, best of all, funny.

She has the best deadpan delivery you’ll find in an 11-year-old, and a wry wit that lets her take a dark thought and wrap it in sunshine.

She’s at the top of every one of her classes, she’s taking courses on coding, and she has always, always had the heart of an entrepreneur.

At the age of 9, she was asking about her mom’s body when Bonnie turned to her, comically wiggled her fingers, and, as if she were casting a spell, intoned: “You too will get old one day!

Callie burst out with a full belly laugh and ran out of the room to create her very first “Callie’s Card.”

We’ve now got DOZENS of Callie’s Cards, covering a dizzying array of grownup thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

Maybe it’s because she’s the youngest of three girls.  Maybe it’s because she’s made of unicorn dust.  We don’t know how it happened, but she’s 100% serious about this.

Is Callie OK?
No.  Callie is not OK.
…Callie is freaking great.

– Brian Brushwood

Random Quote:

“Some of our deepest intuitions about the world go all the way back to our cradles. Before their second birthday, babies know that two solid objects cannot co-exist in the same space. They know that objects continue to exist when out of sight, and fall if left unsupported. They know that people can get up and move around as autonomous beings, but that the computer sitting on the desk cannot. But not all of our earliest intuitions are so sound.

Very young children also carry misbeliefs that they will harbor, to some degree, for the rest of their lives. Their thinking, for example, is marked by a strong tendency to falsely ascribe intentions, functions, and purposes to organisms. In a child’s mind, the most important biological aspect of a living thing is the role it plays in the realm of all life. Asked why tigers exist, children will emphasize that they were “made for being in a zoo.” Asked why trees produce oxygen, children say they do so to allow animals to breathe.”

- Prof. David Dunning, Cornell University
