AAR: HBR Season 1
We’ve finished season 1 of Hamburger Business Review, a shareholder endorsed project (74%). Ten episodes of discussion about a Harvard Business School case study on McDonald’s. Closing the season I feel a growing expertise about the fast food industry, somewhere right on that edge of realizing how much I don’t know. This is an AAR…

2023 Second Quarter Review
The year is half over, and while I knew this was going to be a quieter year for KmikeyM it still bothers me. KmikeyM has always pushed me to be public about my life and it’s weird to be working on longer form projects (the book and tv/film options and Blippo+) that move at a…

Super Hero Movies
In 2017 I realized that watching Agents of SHIELD was a form of procrastination. There is something about watching teamwork that I found both relaxing and rewarding, but I knew there was better television and movies to watch. I challenged myself with a vote for “No More Tights” and swore off superhero content. In 2023…

Hamburger Business Review Series Order
On March 15th, 2023 I ordered a pilot episode of Hamburger Business Review cohosted by me and Zach Rose. The initial pitch that sold me on the idea was that Zach and I would read and the discuss a Harvard Business Review case study about McDonald’s.

Policy Votes
In 2019 I read ‘How to Change Your Mind‘ by Michael Pollan after having a few low dosage mushroom experiences. It was fun! But a part of me wondered if this was a good idea, and more specifically if my shareholders would approve. Ever since becoming a publicly traded person I’ve tried to balance my…

Thick Quest: Glendale
For the month of January Kathryn and I challenged ourselves to a Thick Quest. Thick Quest is a term used to describe the challenge of eating at all the restaurants on a street. It traces its origin to the concept of “honorable gluttony” in medieval Europe, which was the concept that consuming large amounts of…

2023 Preview
Having finished the 2022 Review the next and much harder task is creating a 2023 Preview. It’s easy to go back and cherry pick the highlights of the last twelve months. It’s a lot harder to look ahead and set goals I know I will fail. I don’t do typical New Years Resolutions, but have…
