MIGHTY EXPENSIVE MEATBALLS
Duda Owner IONOS • May 9, 2016
Entrepreneurs are working diligently to find a way to grow meat in a container other than an animal. For example, growing meat in the lab is being done by San Francisco startup, Memphis Meats. Andrew Zaleski reports on the promising positives to the endeavor (“Tech: Object of Interest” Fortune , May 1, 2016, p. 43):
- The meat is grown from actual cow and pig cells.
- The maturation or growth process takes 14 to 21 days.
- Consumers like the intense meat flavor.
Although Memphis Meats affirms that the product could be in stores by 2021, getting it there is another story. The biggest roadblock is conquering the cost factor. The current cost to grow one pound of meat is just $18,000. As Uma Valeti (CEO) affirms:
“ We’re trying to scale it up so that it’s cost-effective. ”
All I can say is those are mighty expensive meatballs!

My transparent reflection about my five-year post-layoff experience, how I navigated it, learned through it, and identified some wisdom that might inspire others.
The earliest days of this series present fundamentally significant leadership content.
We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
