The Monday Morning Memo

From: Chad Kroeker

To: Roy Williams
Subject: 3 Days with the Wizard
Roy,
I’ve attached the photo with your glitter puppies on and a link to the first of 3 articles I’m writing about my experience at WA.
You say you don’t like warm fuzzies… so that’s exactly what I’ll do to get you out of your comfort zone. You dubbed me a genius in front of the class so I owe you one.
Thank you for making this last week a(nother) transformational experience. You gave me your first Magical Worlds book in 2001 – the first of many Wizard of Ads books and set me on a journey of business consulting and writing; a passion that has grown into an agency with over 40 staff in two Canadian offices. I attend – many – seminars and workshops by great speakers and between you and Dr. Grant: I’m ruined for the ordinary. I can’t get ZZ Top out of my head.
And if you really do get up at 2am, I may be your first email of the day! I just got back from playing ice hockey – ah, good to be back in Cowtown.
I made an attempt at surprising Broca.
Here is the https://goo.gl/m9x7fd first of 3 blogs about my experience at Wizard. It’s not about anyone reading it; I love writing and use my personal blog as a journal of experiences that I relate back to for inspiration.
If you read it, I’d be honoured to receive some feedback.
I will be back to WA.

Random Quote:

“Homicide rates vary enormously across different societies. When the rate in Chicago was 900 murders per million of the population per annum (for same-sex, non-kin killings) — this was in the 1970s and 80s — the rate in England and Wales was 30; and in Iceland there were hardly any murders at all. Now, there’s no difference in the genes, no difference in human nature, in these places. And that shows up very dramatically when you look at the patterns of the murders. Although the rates are vastly different, the patterns are exactly the same. If you shrink the axes of the Chicago graph of the age and sex of the murderers and lay it over the England/Wales graph, the curves are an exact fit. It’s overwhelmingly young men killing young men — starting, peaking and trailing off at exactly the same ages. What makes the difference to the rates is the different environments. And that’s crucial for policy. We understand what it is about our evolved minds that leads to such different rates in different environments — the universal propensity of males to be highly competitive, which under extreme conditions can end up in homicide. And that tells us what conditions we’d need to create to lower the murder rates”

- Helena Cronin, quoting the research of Margo Wilson and Martin Daly
