Data Has a Seat at the Table. This is an axiom that drives a big part of our culture and thinking on the Digerati team at Life.Church. Data doesn’t make decisions; it informs decisions.

You maybe wondering who’s approaching the same status. Well, I’m glad you asked. Amazon was previously in the club, but has fallen out and is now sitting around $925 million and climbing. After Amazon, there is a big drop off with the next batch in the $500+ million range. It’s pretty fascinating. WiKi Listin

This video is a few years old, but in four minutes, you will learn SO much. Here is Buffett speaking on Market Corrections. Watch Now
