On average, people spend 13 hours worrying about financial issues at work. This can happen irrespective of income levels. Their self-assessment of their financial knowledge is more important than actual knowledge. These are some of the findings of the Mercer survey on financial wellness - https://lnkd.in/f2skzWE …see more

Startup life is like a roller coaster. You might experience great success after many failures or you may experience a devastating failure right after big successes. To successfully navigate the journey, between failures and success, one must discover their own motivations that keep them going. Living in the present along with a deep focus on creating and growing my business, works for me. I would love to learn from others, how they pick themselves up. #stepstosuccess …see more

Honored to be part of this team. We are all on this journey together and I can't think of a better use of time than to share ideas with each other.

‪These CNBC headlines shouldn’t come as a big surprise. The retail sector was fragile ahead of what is now a very damaging (health-dictated) economic sudden stop. Big question is whether the sector is more of an exception or more of a leading indicator. CNBC #economy #markets ‬ …see more

The silliest thing we ever said in Marketing was that "customers want conversations with brands". But what's even more apparent is that brands don't want conversations with customers.

Thought provoking article, but I have a counterview. Did Da Vinci, or Beethoven or Michael Jordan prioritize productivity over perfection? I believe perfection is a mindset; a way of life. Of course there is need for balance, but behind every 'perfect' piece of work is hundreds of hours of relentless, tedious, repetitive and mostly unappreciated work. If you are choosing the lifestyle of a perfectionist, you will face disappointments, perhaps even demotivation. But if you care enough about the unseen and unsaid, it won't feel so. Obsessing over perfecting every little detail of your product or work may seem a massively dull exercise to an outsider, but it is one which makes the difference between the good and exceptional. https://lnkd.in/fTbByb6 …see more

This resonates strongly with me. Having raised two girls, Love is not the same as giving in to what makes kids happy in the moment. Over the course of life do they draw from your example to make right choices.  Interestingly, when I work with startups and young founders, I go through the same mental process. How to be honest in feedback and take a position of long term perspective even if it is opposed or unpopular view in the moment.  My conclusion, if my intent is pure, and I am open to listening and base decisions on deep conviction, it is likely to be all right in the long run. …see more

Big influencers lose thousands of followers when they don't post. Streamers lost thousands of subscribers when they don't go live. Often times, because of that they're losing thousands (sometimes more) of dollars. That being said, no amount of subscriptions/followers are worth compromising your mental health. Knowing when not to post is just as important as knowing when to post. Take a day off if you need it. No shame. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

About 2 years ago I was doing quite a big Keynote in Sweden at an event about “change in the world” and trends and stuff. I covered my normal stuff including the idea that we’ve got too much content, too many great things to do/buy/listen to/watch & that with this stimulation and choice boredom was a thing of the past. Someone challenged me on this in the questions in front of everyone. Which is unusual in Sweden. I realized at that moment they were right and I’d been entirely wrong. It was great. They mentioned the idea that modern content consumption is an emotion close to boredom. It’s a quasi morose, semi hypnotized, transfixed trance, from “the loop” of what we get tricked into doing on our phones by our brains’ biochemistry. Nobody could ever explain why they were “choosing” to consume stuff, they’d just failed to get up and do something else for long enough. Most stuff people watch now isn’t selected by them, they tolerate it. It’s a state of both boredom and empty stimulating hypnosis. It’s this understanding of the fatigued, vapid way that a lot of things are watched and increasingly items are bought, which we need to understand when marketing to people, making shoppable ads and trying to create better stuff for. …see more

"X" but built on Blockchain is the most common pitch I now get and 99% of the time entirely stupid. "Linkedin" but on Blockchain, "Airbnb" but with smart contracts, "Uber" but with Bitcoin.  It's like our entire world is just sheep. These business models are not perfect, but their faults have nothing to do with what Blockchain may be able to offer. …see more

While some will be tempted to treat today's Chesapeake filing as an exception due to company-specific issues and shale energy disruptions, it's unfortunately part of an historic surge in US corporate bankruptcies that is just starting to build momentum. This surge is also part of a great COVID-led dispersion involving big winners and big losers (not just corporates but also households). It will result in greater industrial concentration. And it involves the one risk that the Fed cannot shield investors from – that of permanent capital impairment. #Chesapeake Chesapeake Energy #energy #markets #bankruptcy #investing #investors …see more
