Weinstein Wisdom
“Whether it’s tasting or smelling, learn your industry’s
language. I have spent 30 years in the industry and there’s
a language we have. I’m sure every industry has a language.
To be a part of an industry, it’s important to learn that.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re in finance, supply chain, or
HR; you should be spending time with the flavorist and see

to buy things. When online delivery started, Bob found it hard
to believe that this could be efficient. However, he understood
how much time it could save and gave it a try.
“I did an experiment and ordered lightbulbs online to see if
they would actually be delivered unbroken. And sure enough, I
opened the box to unbroken lightbulbs.”
Bob’s great experiment demonstrated how the Internet can give
us time. Whether it is consumer goods, services, or information,
