In the last few days, I've asked many specialists to test the Philips Lumify portable ultrasound with me. Physicians who regularly do eye, abdomen and pediatric ultrasounds have checked it out and were all amazed by its features. We'll post the review with videos soon.  It's amazing that I can just grab the device and record an ultrasound examination without prior training then send it to a specialist who can remotely check it out! #POCUS #fromchancetochoice #digitalhealth #future #health #healthcare #medicine #ultrasound …see more

I feel like most of the work we use to showcase the very best in advertising tends to show just how much we don’t understand normal people.

Rules of engagement when asking someone a question 🤔 1) Don’t ask permission to ask the question. Just Ask! 2) Provide the information they need to answer appropriately. Do: I am interested in learning more about digital marketing for the b2b space. Don’t: I want to learn marketing. 3) Don’t ask what you can find by Googling. That’s lazy. Don’t ask “why did you start this company?” when you can google and find the answer in a ton of previous interviews. Ask questions that haven’t already been answered. 4) Don’t expect an answer. People are busy! But, if you get an answer - do show your appreciation. 5) Reciprocation works! Do: I’ve purchased and read both your past books. My question is:... Most authors are much more willing to engage with their readers than strangers. What would you add to this list? #people #learning #success …see more

So many of us are putting incredible mental effort into trying to change our behaviors or reach new levels of success. But what if mental effort is actually part of the problem, and there's an entirely better way to transform our lives and careers?

A large section of the MSMEs is creditworthy and micro retail borrowers’ cash flow allows them to repay bank loans fast. They need handholding by the lenders in this hour of crisis

More than the rate cut, change in the stance of the policy and Reserve Bank’s commitment to ensure “adequate” liquidity will encourage banks to cut loan rates

How often have you heard curiosity killed the cat? I have often felt that we kill the #creativity in a child by our fears and stunt their natural enquiry and learning. There is much said also about how successful people valued #curiosity and #exploration . “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when one contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend only a little of this mystery every day.” said Albert Einstien, he spoke about valuing curiosity above all else So 'Curiosity', Are you born with it? Did you learn it? Was it early childhood exposure? An insightful talk from Bill Gates , where he shares his own experience on how to spark curiosity. Video Credit: WDSC-TV …see more

"How do I stop loving a girl who doesn’t love me,” someone asked me. I didn’t answer him correctly. I gave some bullshit answer. The correct answer is: there’s nothing you can do. You’re in pain. You’re wounded. Time heals all wounds. That’s where the economy is. I’m not a doom and gloom guy. I’m an optimist. And the firebomb is my optimistic view of where the economy is going." …see more

“ 2021 will see consumers want and then increasingly demand that the brands they buy stand for something bigger than what they sell, that they take a stand on social issues and use purpose to good for the planet” I keep seeing lines like this in trends decks right now. Of course it would be great if people behaved this way. It would be marvelous if people aspired to this. But there is very little evidence of it. We can frame the data to make that point, we can find cases studies, but it doesn’t seem very true. Not least because nobody has the time to audit the brands they buy. Instead like the vast majority of future trend / consulting documents it’s based on surveys. Surveys that people answer based on what looks like the “correct” answer. Surveys designed to elicit helpful findings. Do some qual, talk to your customers, understand them deeply, understand their needs in depth & above all else get out of the mass delusion of the Marketing bubble. The reality is that Amazon and Facebook couldn't really be more damaging as entities. DoorDash treats workers terribly. Uber isn't a saint. But we're at home, and we're hungry and we press a button and we let principles evaporate because, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . We may not like it, I don't, but that doesn't make it less true. …see more
