![]() ![]() We’ll increase it to 10 to really emphasize the point. Next, assume you spent four hours of your day rate shopping and ended up squeezing out an extra five basis points through an amalgam of providers. Let’s say you have $25 million from your recent fundraising. Here’s an exercise to illustrate why you are better off spending your time elsewhere. Cash management automation has reached a point where you and your finance team no longer have to spend hours to achieve yields that reflect the current market rate. As a founder with limited time, you are better off managing other parts of the business. The wrong answer is to give in to the urge to spend hours emailing different banks in search of the highest yield payout and agonize over hunting for an extra five to 10 basis points of yield. Sure enough, the interest rate is now 25 basis points higher, raising a question for founders: How should this hike impact the way I manage my company’s cash? As I’ve previously written, the Fed avoids surprises. The recent banking sector developments that sent founders scrambling for places to diversify their cash reserves left markets wondering if the Fed would follow these events with another rate hike. Treasury management should be top of mind for startup founders. ![]()

![]() ![]() Side note: I myself am a dropper - if only dropping things were a talent to be admired… □ But overall, I quite enjoyed the book, and I liked the twist on so-called “flaws” turning out to be heroic talents (the power to “break things” is a powerful talent, for example, as is the talent for arriving late to things as well as the talent for tripping). The first-person narrator style took me some getting use to, and I can imagine future tales getting a bit formulaic in that Lemony Snicket kind of way. It’s a fun, quick tale, overflowing with magic and adventure and snarky humor. (Ha!) On his 13th birthday, Alcatraz receives a mysterious package full of sand… and is quickly thrust into an adventure involving oculator lenses, self-driving cars, talking dinosaurs who also love reading, and of course, evil librarians. So what’s the book all about? Alcatraz Smedry has grown up in Libraria - the United States, Canada, and England, countries controlled by librarians - often referred to as the Hushlands. The book began, essentially, as a free-write based on what became the first line: “So, there I was, tied to an altar made from out-dated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.” Turns out, this opening sentence was what inspired Sanderson to write the whole book!

Finally Chloe takes command and sets off on a fairy-tale-inspired quest to save the story and Adam. ![]() He then introduces a new artist who can “illustrate a brilliant story written by a true genius.” The new illustrator does not work out as hoped, though, and nor do Mac’s attempts to illustrate the book himself. A fight erupts over artistic vision, with the author firing the illustrator and having the lion swallow him whole. The story progresses smoothly until Mac writes that a huge lion leapt out at Chloe, and Adam draws a dragon instead (he “just thought a dragon would be cooler”). After Barnett and Rex introduce themselves, readers meet Chloe, the main character. ![]() ![]() Her granddaughter, Mary Tryphena, is just a child when Judah washes ashore, but finds herself tied to him all her life in ways she never expects. King-me Sellers, self-appointed patriarch, has it in for an inscrutable woman known only as Devine’s Widow, with whom he has a decades-old feud. Though Judah is a shocking addition, the town of Paradise Deep is already full of unusual characters. ![]() The discovery of this mysterious person, soon christened Judah, sets the town scrambling for answers as its most prominent citizens weigh in on whether he is man or beast, blessing or curse, miracle or demon. When a whale beaches itself on the shore of the remote coastal town of Paradise Deep, the last thing any of the townspeople expect to find inside it is a man, silent and reeking of fish, but remarkably alive.

The final resolution is not entirely believable, but the emphasis on cooperation and understanding is clear. For each chapter, there is one page of comprehension questions (multiple choice and short answer). Indeed, a bit more subtlety in characterization might have strengthened the book’s appeal.
