Intro

This week—and next week—we take a look back at the conversations we’ve had over the past year, highlighting some of our happiest, smartest, funniest, and most difficult exchanges, including Paul Downs on how he diced which employees to lay off, Jennifer Kerhin on asking ChatGPT to review her performance as CEO, Kate Morgan on why she’s been reluctant to raise her prices, Liz Picarazzi on her search for a domestic manufacturer for her trash enclosures, Ari Weinzweig on why Zingerman’s charges so much for a hamburger, and David C. Barnett on why your business is probably worth more to you owning it than selling it.
