"Fierce nerds" can be valuable. Sure. But the folks who truly stand out in my mind are a level higher. They're the ones at the top of their game, who know how to demand & command excellence, without being jerks about it.
I'm reminded of this episode of "The Chef Show" where Jon Favreau compliments Roy Choi behind his back. He tells Bill Burr that he had followed Roy around for a full day, going to all his restaurants and food trucks, and not once did Roy raise his voice to his staff. It's pretty cool to see how much admiration one artist/leader has for the other, not because of their technical skills but because they choose to be kind.
I don't think we need to settle for being "fierce nerds".
Are oyster farms good business? I would think at the price you pay for them it would be a pretty sustainable venture. I just watched the episode of The Chef Show where they visit the California oyster farm and talk about how oysters filter up to 50 gallons of water a day. It didn't seem like there was a ton of labor cost, and obviously incredibly beneficial for the environment. It would be great to see them subsidized by the government but I'm curious why they don't exist in greater numbers already. I for one love oysters and would very much like to see more west coast varieties here in Toronto :)
