Something to think about

From a breakdown perspective I adore this. From a design perspective I love this. From a (visual) brand positioning perspective, I worry about it occupying a remarkably similar visual space to NatWest, in icon, typography, palette, even apparent content imagery. Hoping the expanded language will help differentiate. Kudos on the update though; absolutely an improvement.

Here's David Whyte with a beautiful message about why it's important to find the place where you belong. Like a swan, all you need to do is move towards the water. Check out this insightful video to find out why.

It was a terrific and terrifying evening. I asked Daniel Schmachtenberger what we should do to stop producing extremely powerful individuals with sociopathic tendencies - and followed by an observation that they seem to be more common in the United States. I have been thinking about his answer. While it is true that Peterffy, Murdoch and others came from other places, it was in the United States that they could become pharaohs of their own empires. A common trait of the other examples he listed - Putin, Xi Jinping - are that they are the supreme leaders of a nation state. Perhaps the United States is different because it grants an almost unrestricted opportunity for someone with the right mindset and enough initial wealth or investment to create their own empire within the borders of the nation state. In a sense, perhaps one could almost argue that the United States is equally the United Corporations of America. And there is always room for more. Grant this opportunity and you will greatly accelerate the emergence of ultra-powerful extractors of wealth from the earth. You could argue that China or India are no different, but look at what happened to Jack Ma. Am I saying that authoritarian power moves are the answer? Of course not. At the same time, I can’t help but feel that a part of the problem is that we include in our definition of “liberty” the liberty to build your own empire, with yourself at the top. What political systems could we put in place that makes this less convenient and more cumbersome? What could we do to incentivize against this structure?

I love listening to people who have nothing to prove. And this guy is for sure one of them. Keith J. Cunningham is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on business mastery. And also, he is original "Rich Dad" from Robert Kyosaki's book. Here are some key takeaways I got from this interview: —> Successful people have extreme clarity about where they are and the clarity of where they want to be. While most people orient towards the end goal, you should also very much focus on reality of where you are now. This will help you define better the obstacles or the problems that are in front of you. —> A shift in priorities without simultaneous shift in allocation resources is a wishful thinking. And wishful thinking is at the rute of every failed business. —>  Few things are worse than running in the wrong direction enthusiastically —> The question is not if I have made a mistake. The question is: can I admit it and did I learned something? —>  Passion is just the excitement of what you think you could be successful at. But, if you sucked at it, it won't longer be your passion. My favourite part of all this is that he is a guy who at one point of his career lost $100m. And still, the inner peace he has is inspiring. Thanks for this great interview: Joe Polish
