Hi everyone!

There were two links in the latest Profile edition with broken links. My sincere apologies.

The founder people love to hate: It’s been two years since Audrey Gelman left The Wing, the all-female, WeWork-backed, pop feminist self-described coven of a coworking space that she cofounded in 2016. Gelman resigned in June 2020 as the pandemic set in, keeping all 12,000 of the company’s members at home and their annual fees—up to $3,000 per person—suspended. The Wing shuttered the 11 locations it had opened and laid off all but 84 of its nearly 500 employees. So what is Gelman up to now? One thing’s for sure — the former power CEO isn’t done yet.

Baseball’s only mud supplier: Major League Baseball — a multi-billion-dollar enterprise applying science and analytics to nearly every aspect of the game — ultimately depends on some geographically specific muck collected by a retiree with a gray ponytail, blurry arm tattoos and a flat-edged shovel. That man is Jim Bintliff, the owner of Lena Blackburne Baseball Rubbing Mud. Bintliff collects the Delaware River mud that is smeared on Major League baseballs to make them less slippery. But that tradition is now in jeopardy. (The New York Times)

“If they stopped ordering, I’d be more upset by the end of the tradition, not my bottom line.”
