I would say my worst stresses in the past 10 years: - Going broke in 2002 - Worrying about my father’s stroke in 2003 - IRS in 2004 - Results of my fund in 2003 - Results of my fund of funds in 2005 - Whether or not Stockpickr.com would crash and burn in 2007 - Worrying about selling Stockpickr in 2007 -Getting separated in 2008 And I can list ten others and I’m sure I have in various posts. And there’s some I feel like I can’t list because as honest as I am in these posts, some things are just too close and some boundaries are still up.... http://ow.ly/cajv30hbLdF …see more

Over 30 countries have either banned or are about to ban Huawei and ZTE from their 5G networks. This is the most important lasting foreign policy accomplishment of the Trump Administration...and one that the incoming Biden team is fully aligned with.

While you’re working, frequent short breaks are more effective than occasional ones. During a typical workday, try to take 3 or 4 breaks of 5 to 10 minutes each. These pauses in the midst of your busyness will help maintain your focus and reactivate your commitment to a goal. When you spend hours working on one thing, you might feel weighed down and forget what you’re working toward. The breaks will help you to remember the end goal and more effectively work toward reaching it without feeling as much mental or physical strain. …see more

Diversity and inclusion span beyond just culture, but also in product development as well.  At the same time, D&I go beyond just race or gender, but also accessibility. I'm so glad to hear that Apple is proposing new emojis to create a more inclusive experience for those who experience disabilities, including hidden ones.  The new emojis will be broken down into four categories: blind and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing, physical motor disabilities, and including, hidden disabilities. Such a welcoming proposal and future update! 💙 …see more

It used to be that the more powerful you were, the more gatekeepers you had. Today it’s the opposite: the more powerful you are, the more accessible you HAVE to be. Today, transparency is the hallmark of true leadership. #leadership101 #leadershipadvice …see more

I want to thank Ologun Opeyemi for creating the perfect #Thanksgiving2018 message. As she so powerfully communicates, happiness is a choice. Ingratitude stems from shortsightedness. At this year’s holiday tables, pray for contentment. Pray for peace of mind and be grateful for every moment of life. …see more

Whether it's changing our penchant for eating unhealthy food or reining in our predilection for distraction, starting a new routine is very different from breaking an existing habit. Applying the "Progressive Extremism"​ technique can help you gain control over bad habits, like eating food you know isn't good for you or succumbing to distraction.

In my first year as an entrepreneur I couldn't afford a .99 cent chocolate bar. 🍫 I'm obsessed with pivotal moments. All of our favorite characters that we follow have a defining moment/time of their life. Here's mine: - I was a first time entrepreneur. I burned through all of my savings, totaled my car, girlfriend left me, and so on. - I got to a point where I had - $900 in my bank account & zero clients. Rent was due at the end of the week. - I promised myself that if I didn't have a client by the end of the week I was going to go get a job. I had three clients at the end of the week. What's the defining moment of your story arc? #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

The best leaders show up in a genuine and observable way, even when it’s hard. Here’s how: Be visible & vocal in sharing your wisdom Leaders are in a unique position of influence, with many audiences watching and listening to their words and actions. By sharing your core beliefs, ideas, and insights through #career communications, you’ll draw others to you and help them understand what matters most. Be (imperfectly) human Leaders aren’t infallible or have everything figured out. When a leader models vulnerability, it signals that they’re #human , and it’s okay for others to do the same, creating a culture and environment of openness and #collaboration . It also provides others a chance to use their knowhow to craft solutions. Practice empathy, compassion & patience Today, tensions and uncertainty are high, and productivity and tolerance are down. The best #leadership approach is to acknowledge the ‘ick’ factor through #empathy , compassion, and patience. When people feel seen and heard, they feel more connected, which enhances #communication & builds #trust . Lead with kindness & respect The world seems increasingly divisive. When you lead with #kindness and #respect , you unite and inspire people and help shift them toward—and keep them focused on—the positive. #positivity …see more

Paginemediche, an Italian digital health startup, created a chatbot that diagnoses COVID-19 - some provinces already offer it as a public health service. Before reading this news, Dr. Gábor Csató, CEO of the Hungarian National Ambulance Service, just told me about the impossibility of attending to every call on the toll-free numbers, noting that a chatbot would be needed. Now the Italians made it. If it proves to be efficient, it could be easily implemented in other countries too! #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #coronavirus #COVID19 #telemedicine #chatbot …see more

Digital health is a cultural transformation of healthcare. There is an interesting story about how one futurist noted that a 1960s film of the “office of the future” made on-par technological predictions (fax machines, personal computers or telephones), but had a glaring omission: The office had no women. This is why it's so crucial to embrace the cultural nature of the transformation we witness today in healthcare. It is initiated, but not driven by technologies. How people in healthcare adopt or reject those innovations and how they can prepare for the changes emotionally are more important than which microchip comes out next week. How do you see these changes? #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice …see more

The only way to survive is when everything is against you, when you are about to go into a life coma of depression and anxiety, that these rules are what will change you and save the world.

A big day for US markets tomorrow with the release of the first quarter (Q-1) GDP and the conclusion of the 2-day Federal Reserve policy meeting. As few expect new policy actions, the Fed's communication challenge (and, therefore, the scope for market reaction) is less in the statement and more in the press conference ... particularly when it comes to (i) the execution details of the previously-announced measures, and (ii) other measures should they be needed. As regards the GDP number, and even though the economic shut down started in mid March, consensus expectation is for a 4% contraction. Would be the first negative quarter in six years, would get close to the -4.4% of Q-1 2009, though not the -8.4% of the last quarter of 2008. Sadly, the contraction of the first quarter of this year will, in retrospect, prove to be very small relative to the one occurring this quarter. #markets #economy …see more

In the history of #capitalism, this is the hardest time ever to #invest. People are going broke, losing their jobs, and fear more than greed rules the news and tries to rule thoughts.

Realistically the media we all consume has made us all utterly mad. We have lost all perspective. Deliberate lies, misinformation and manipulation is the norm. It’s because the only way most* media can profit is from scaring the crap out of us into clicking. We have become addicted to outrage, fear, anger or titillation. First stories were put on the internet, then stories were promoted based on clicks, now subject matters are chosen for clicks and pieces are written with the sole goal of garnering as many views as possible while other outlets chase the same viewers. They have to compete to be more outrageous than each other. There is hope. We have to start paying. We have to realize that this is the number one problem in the world …see more
