Anant Ambani is getting married, and his father — Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani — is sparing no expense to celebrate the nuptials.
As the chair of the Fortune 500 company Reliance Industries, the elder Ambani has an estimated net worth of $111 billion, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. That makes him the richest person in Asia and the 11th-richest person in the world.

JOANNE JACOBS: If you want to climb a mountain, don’t go two steps and ask, ‘How do I feel?’
In her new book, Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up, Shrier complains that social-emotional learning has gone far beyond teaching students how to disagree respectfully or “get a grip.” It’s become “a curricular juggernaut that devours billions in education spending each year.”
Teachers are encouraged to start the school day with an “emotions check-in.” At a conference for California teachers, counselor Natalie Sedano shared her check-in: “How are you feeling today? Are you daisy-bright, happy and friendly? Or am I a ladybug? Will I fly away if we get too close?”
Paying too much attention to feelings doesn’t help distressed children, psychologist told Shrier.
“I’d say: worry less. Ruminate less,” said Leif Kennair, an expert on the treatment of anxiety. “Try to verbalize everything you feel less. Try to self-monitor and be mindful of everything you do — less.”

Most & Least Ethnically Diverse Cities in the U.S. 2024
WallHub: “The U.S. today is a melting pot of cultures, thanks to increasing ethnic and racial diversification. If the trend continues, America will be more diverse than ever by 2045, at which point no single ethnic group will constitute the majority in the U.S. for the first time. But with immigration reform still a hot-button issue, the U.S. ethnic landscape may change again in the near future. In light of this and the discussions of racial and ethnic equality that have been prominent in recent years, WalletHub took a snapshot of America’s current cultural profile, comparing more than 500 of the largest U.S. cities across three key indicators of ethnic diversity. We examined each city based on residents’ ethnicity and race, language and birthplace.

Medium – Debbie Levitt – “Credit for today’s article goes to the genius idea from Feridoon Malekzadeh and his January 2024 LinkedIn post where he gave ChatGPT a wildly long job description.
He asked ChatGPT, “How big of a design team would I need to hire to do all of this work? Suggest team size, structure, number of managers, etc.” ChatGPT suggested a team of 17–22 people for what was listed as a single open job as “Director, Branding Design — SVP.” ChatGPT suggested:
- One Creative Director/Head of Branding
- Two or Three Senior Brand Strategists
- Three or Four Senior Designers
- Four or Five Mid-Level Designers
- Two or Three Junior Designers
- Two Design Managers to oversee all of these Designers.
- Two Project Managers with an additional Project Management Lead
- Two Copywriters
- One or Two Web/Animation Specialists
I pasted the same job description into Claude.ai, who was more conservative about team size with a team of at least six.
Prompt: “I’m pasting a request for a worker, but I suspect that this company needs more than one person to do these tasks. Please analyze this job description. Tell me how many people you would need to do this job well, and what their titles would be.” Claude suggested:
- SVP, Design Director
- VP, Creative Director
- Two or three Senior or Mid-Level Visual Designers
- Two or more Junior Designers, scale up as needed
Feridoon’s idea is great! Companies love to try to hire one person to do the work of two, four, six, or maybe 17. This often comes with being set up to fail, having a moving target of priorities, and all of your teams and projects thinking you’re not good or fast enough. Probably all with an unfortunate stream of gaslighting and eventual burnout…”
