THE LESS YOU TRY TO HOLD IN YOUR MIND AT ONCE, THE BETTER Your brain is a terrible to-do list. Don’t ask it to do something it is not designed to do. The less you try to hold in your mind at once, the better. Memory starts to degrade whenever you try to hold more than one idea in mind.

Ecstatic to reach the three-quarter milestone of 75,000 followers before the New Year! Through the medium of writing and LinkedIn, I was able to build an engaging readership of millennials and professionals who are deeply invested in personal branding/innovation, career, and marketing. If your 2017 goal is to start publishing (it's never too late), feel free to reach out or comment what's holding you back and how I can help. Love to help spread the power of personal innovation & thought leadership as we approach the new year!�� …see more

When your Uber driver wants to connect with you on LinkedIn. Cheers to a connected economy? ��#dailymoments

Ideas don’t die because of resistance, they die because of apathy. Resistance is energy, it's a new constraint, you can work with the tension of resistance to come back harder Apathy will kill literally everything, slowly and without anyone notice. If you hear a bad idea, if you feel challenged by an idea, please fight it, it will pay you back enormously. …see more

I've an interesting thought experiment. It's called 333. A blogging platform a bit like Medium, but all posts a maximum of 333 words. ( constraints are good ) An active comments section, with threading and upvoting like Reddit. The ability to Share or Comment, no “liking” The ability to follow people, but the main mechanism being “front page” 
There are four front pages accessed via tabs, most commented on, most shared ,latest and “who you follow” There is a monthly archive of the most shared posts of the month and year. A single button press to turn the blog into an image which can be shared on Twitter and Linkedin with a deep link to the post. A superb search function. I don't have time to make this. So I'm just going to start posting on here a few articles that are about 300+ words and see if that'a a nice format. Hope you like the pieces and they get people chatting. …see more

It's really important that you are able to see someone who you can relate to in your dream role. Seeing and meeting female entrepreneurs and leaders in media gave me hope that I could do the same. When people ask "Why should I share my story?", I usually respond that there may be viewer who needs assurance that they could do what you do. I really love the Young & D.U.M.B podcast and its mission to showcase young, driven individuals in hopes of inspiring others. You can check out my episode on their iTunes page.

‪Bloomberg Markets on the withdrawal of United’s bond issuance proposal. ‬ Shows that there is some default risk limit to the re-opening of the high yield market — even for a bond carrying such a high spread and credit enhancements. #bonds #markets #investing #united …see more

From Bloomberg. This yet to be confirmed report will do more than reinforce pre-existing prejudices, postures and trust issues It will fuel a blame game at a time when global policy coordination is both needed (particularly on health issues but also economics) and sorely lacking. #China #covid19 #covid19update #coronavirus …see more

I managed to totally screw things up for myself at the ages of 20, 22, 24, 29, 33, 37, and 40 so I decided to write everything I know about so-called “personal finance.” The words personal finance are a total scam but I’ll save that for another time. Let’s just say, this is about how to build wealth and preserve your wealth. …see more

Now seems like a good time to realize fast how badly young people have been & will be effected by Covid. Whether we should have done what we did is open for debate, but what is clear is that we've so far ruined the dreams, aspirations and opportunities for those aged 5-30. We've given them a deeply traumatic 2020 so far. The sooner we can focus our efforts on creating hope, support, stability, normality, structure for them, the better. If that means opening Schools & focussing with more precision on the vulnerable, it's not a hard choice. We can't keep destroying our future to keep voting age people happier. We've totally cocked this up, but let's not pride or politics or loss aversion make this seem hard. It's deeply simple and obvious. …see more

Still don't get how Linkedin earns $6bn a year in revenue, based on the idea of conversations and engagement, and won't let you "reply" to a "reply" on a post in a way that is easy to do or easy to see as a user. It's like billions are spent on R&D and development with thousands in teams all of who've never heard of threading. They have at least improved the @ function but it's still very odd how it selects suggestions. …see more

In a world where consumers try to "cancel" brands in the court of public opinion, your #brandreputation is everything. A one-star increase in your Yelp review means a 9% increase in #sales . On the flip side, seeing negative reviews stops 40% of customers from doing business with your brand. When it comes to your public reputation, it's no longer enough to just do your best - you need a #brandstrategy for managing your reputation, and you need it now. …see more

What is it actually like to be a #CEO and a mother? I'm not afraid to be honest about my experience - it took a while for me to fall in love with #parenting . The messages that women get about motherhood are so one-dimensional; we're so often made to feel like bad parents if we try to balance careers with raising a family. But you know what? I love what I do. And I'm a better parent when I have an outlet for my passions. It's fine to have help, and it's fine to keep doing your #business . Check out my appearance on the Startup Parent podcast! …see more

I cannot remember the last time I wore makeup and a dress to the airport.... Wait, have I EVER worn makeup and a dress to the airport??? But I’ve learned a very valuable lesson this morning, and feel compelled to share it with all my LinkedIn colleagues: "People treat you a lot differently when you don’t look like a bedraggled, middle-aged Muppet."  In other words, dress like how you want people to treat you. So I’ll be trying to sustain this professional energy going forward, even for those long haul flights when comfort and sleep are the main priorities. I mean it’s not like a little mascara would kill me, or anything. #DressForSuccess #professionalnetwork #networking   #smile …see more
