Congratulations to the NBA’s MVP — Kevin Durant! He deserves this honor, not just for his strength on the court, but for his courage to be kind both on and off the court. We are proud to partner with this STRONG & KIND individual, and I am inspired by the beautiful speech that he gave when he accepted his award.

Strong and kind are two words you don’t see together everyday. We’ve teamed up with NBA All-Star Kevin Durant to prove the best way to show strength is to choose kindness. And to play it forward even more, KIND is donating $1 million to the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation to create specialized education and after-school programming for at-risk youth to teach them how to be STRONG & KIND.

Join us in reaching 1 million STRONG & KIND pledges to support our $1 million donation to Kevin Durant’s foundation. Take the pledge at StrongandKind.com

For MLK Day, the amazing teachers in my 5 year old son’s classroom asked the kids to share their dreams last week and made a book with all their drawings and wishes for a better world.  One dreamt that everyone will be nice to animals, another that everyone will have food, or that every child will have a place to go to school. Romy’s dream is below! :)

I try to always avoid false compromises. At KIND, instead of ‘or’, we say ‘and’ — we call that our brAND philosophy.

These are my five rules for no-compromise products as written by Jeff Haden in his Inc. piece, The Zero-Compromises Product Strategy. See the full piece after the jump.

1. Bake your goals into your business model. Even if some of your aims are in tension, a goal you don’t set is a goal you cannot achieve.

2. Identify every assumption. The innovation process starts with recognizing the usual thinking and methodologies so that you can then find ways to challenge them.

3. Ask the right questions. Repeatedly asking, “Why?” and “Why not?” is the antidote to incorrect assumptions, especially if an assumption that was once valid is no longer today.

4. Focus on the future. Shortcuts are tempting when you manage for short-term results. Instead, let long-term goals guide you.

5. View compromise as the last resort. “Or” decisions are the easy way out. Challenge your employees to find a way–they will be better for it.
