Whisk(e)y Marketing School is a new division of Wizard Academy that teaches storytelling, pageantry and ritual to men and women who want to become certified Whiskey Sommeliers. Strangely, the wizard doesn’t imbibe either of these, but Vice-Chancellor Whittington does his best to pick up the slack on Scotch (Whisky) and Cognoscenti Tom Fischer of the famed BourbonBlog.com picks up the wizard’s slack on Bourbon (Whiskey.) See them both on the job in the videos below. – Indy

Our new video guy, Chad, shot a 37-minute video of Whittington sampling several single-malts. That video is currently being played on televisions all over the world. People like to sit and drink Scotch with B’rer Daniel. Weird, huh? A highly accelerated 6-minute version is below. Worth a look.

“

One of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations.

Most Stanford graduates have very high expectations, and you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school. You were very successful. You were top of your class. Obviously, you were able to pay for tuition. And then you’re graduating from one of the finest institutions on the planet. You’re surrounded by other kids that are just incredible.

People with very high expectations have very low resilience. And unfortunately, resilience matters in success.

I don’t know how to teach it to you except that I hope suffering happens to you.

True greatness in individuals comes from character, not intelligence, and character is shaped by experiences of adversity.

And so if I could wish upon you — I don’t know how to do it — but for all of you Stanford students, I’d wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering.
