The Lifestyle Brand is Dead–Long Live The Lifestyle Brand. | Inc.com

I was watching the Hulu documentary about Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner, and aside from the ominous subtext, I was struck by his ingenious creation of the Victoria myth. When I worked on Victoria’s Secret PINK earlier in my career, job number one was to build meaning for that pink spotted dog. It was that depth of character and attention to detail that helped spawn an entire category. And with billions in sales each year, even after a mammoth restructuring, Victoria’s Secret still dominates when it comes to brand recognition. Even with the many decidedly more feminist and modern underwear brandsRead News

The US mental health hotline network is expanding, but there is still a shortage of care in rural areas

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s 988 telephone number, launched on July 16, was designed as a universal mindset support tool for callers anytime anywhere.

In particular, rural Americans, who die by suicide at a much higher rate than residents of urban areas, often have trouble accessing mental health services. While 988 connects them to a call center close to home, they can end up being directed to far away resources.Read News

Against “Public Health”

Perhaps no single public health method is more prevalent than epidemiology, which uses shoe-leather data collection and statistics to study the incidence and distribution of disease among populations. Epidemiology can be an incredibly powerful tool; this is what experts used to identify the first cases of community spread Covid-19 in the United States. However, it also exposes the downsides of a public health approach that sees itself as all science, no politics. The epidemiological approach is often “characterized by a focus on factors isolated from their context,” wrote the late epidemiologist Steve Wing. He noticed that his colleagues often focusedRead News

7 Delicious Stops on North Dakota’s German Food Trail

Almost every big family dinner I attended growing up in North Dakota included two delicious, doughy favorites: kuchen and knoephla.
