Professor Ryan Leslie?

Well, not exactly Professor at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, but Mr. Ryan Leslie has been named it’s first Artist-in-Residence.  What this means for students at the Clive Davis Institute is direct access to one of today’s most successful entrepreneurs in the music industry.  Leslie’s role as Artist-in-Residence will include one-on-one sessions, group lectures, songwriting critiques, and mentoring. 

Yet another feat for Leslie, who scored a perfect 1600 on his SATs at age 14 and went on to graduate from Harvard University at 19.  An already platinum selling singer, songwriter, and producer, we can go ahead and add teacher to his resume. 

Well done Mr. Leslie, well done.

Nike (in the) Air

You’re looking at Nike’s sprawling 40,000 sq ft “Nike Air Hangar.”  Located right outside of Portland, Oregon, this hangar is the home of 3 Nike owned Gulfstream G5 executive jets.  In addition to space for flight planning and airplane maintenance, the facility provides amenities for travelers and pilots such as a lounge, exercise facilities, executive suites, meeting space, and a gourmet kitchen.  All of this was done because as we all know; “Greyhound don’t float on water.”
