Hello Beautiful People,
Yesterday we introduced you all to the founders of The Lunch Read. Just to recap –
The Lunch Read began as a social experiment between two friends looking for good reads for their lunch breaks. New to their desk jobs, they found that when it became lunchtime, there was hardly ever anything good to read. The group quickly expanded to 9 and so The Lunch Read began. Six months into the project, the group thought others might find interest in a curated list of lunch reads so we started sending the weekly edition. Now, just over a month in, The Lunch Read delivers a weekly Wednesday edition and tweets out interesting finds, or “leftovers” for people to read during the week on their breaks.

The nine founding members Michele Kory, Jori Bell, Sutton Kauss, Mathew Lasky, Adam London, Sam Goodman, Michael Hoffman, Alexa Rosenbloom, Eric Stupnitsky, were kind enough to participate in our Movers & Shakers Q&A Series, and so, during “lunch break” hours for the next nine workdays, we’ll be introducing them to all of you. Yesterday we met Michele Kory.
Next up? Jori Bell.

MM: In today’s economy, arts programs are being cut in schools. What reasons would you give to a politician/school board for preserving the arts?
JB: Art is a necessary for a rounded education. Left brainers and right brainers must unite, we need to be open and aware of both perspectives.
MM: What’s the best piece of advice that you would offer to college graduates entering the job market?
JB: Your biggest strength is learning how to work with everyone at the office.
MM: We believe that art can be a tool for social change, that it can transform lives. How would you disagree or agree with this statement?
JB: I agree but because art is subjective in nature, its hard to get everyone on board. Sad face.
MM: Who is/was your greatest teacher?
JB: My chemistry teacher in high school because he was smoking [hot] and smart.
Thank you, Jori!
Live, Love, Learn,
