Yesterday my wife, Bethany, and I visited the wisdom of Bruce Marcus (and his brilliant wife, Mana) at their lovely Connecticut home – those bricks you see behind us are the Marcus fireplace so I guess you could describe it as a "fireside chat". (He is the author of no less than 15 books, including
