I just had my annual check-up with the best primary care physician in the world. She not only supports me in using technologies to obtain data about lifestyle and improve it based on them (see askmeaboutdigital.com ), but she uses her knowledge and experience based on the newest studies to design a prevention plan that will allow me to board a spaceship to Mars at the age of 100. Yes, that's the plan, I'm not kidding. What do you plan to do for your own prevention in 2019? #design #technology #bigdata #health #healthcare #askmeaboutdigital …see more

Another indication of the migration up in layoffs from small/medium-sized companies to larger ones. Amplifying my jobs concerns is the likelihood that the accelerating pace of these announcements will provide operational/reputational "air cover" for more companies to "right-size" #economy #employment #jobs #unemployment Wells Fargo …see more

How do you prepare at work to go on vacation? Here are a few tips to prepare your colleagues, clients, and vendors for your vacation in a non-stressful way!

I've 5 reasons for thinking the economic rebound may be faster than expected* 1)There are industries that are highly visible and capture our imagination the most- "we" think of fashion, retail, airlines, hotels, daycare centers a lot, & these suffer the most More dull/invisible industries like energy, finance, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics are a far far greater part of the economy & are by far less affected. 2) The stories I commonly hear about of companies doing surprisingly well, come from people who feel rather guilty being optimistic about it, or 'don't want to jinx things", so we tend not to hear good news. 3) Unlike any other recession, the "economic machine" didn't break. There was no Dot Com bubble based on crazy expectations, there was no Sub-Prime scandal. Nothing broke, we just pressed stop. 4) The jobs that tend to be fastest to vanish are typically the fastest to bring back, the work alongside each other. A mall opens, security guards are needed, food court workers are needed, retail workers are needed, car park attendants are needed, we have systems that fall and come back in there entirety. 5) Pent up demand. *I've no qualifications in Economics, but since the experts seem wildly in disagreement, it's OK to ponder and listen. …see more

Here’s why you should surround yourself with complementary (not complimentary) people: #COMPETENCE : It allows you to focus on your unique strengths Hire or seek guidance from those whose areas of expertise differ from yours. This will free you up to put your talents to their highest and best use, increasing your competence. #CONFIDENCE : You’ll look like a better leader Confident leaders trust and empower their teams. When you allow them to focus on their strengths, they’ll perform better and provide more value, which reflects favorably to you. #CANDOR : You’ll get what you need to hear versus what you want to hear A true advisor is someone who helps you see potential blind spots you’d otherwise miss, and that candor can only happen when they are encouraged to speak freely. #CURIOSITY : You’ll learn something new Leaders who seek out diverse ideas, views, and perspectives are open to and welcome learning from those who might hold opinions or experiences contrary to their own. #CONNECTION : It’s not about you Servant leaders seek to communicate and connect better through an empathetic approach that puts others first. Doing so helps them listen and better understand, which builds trust, strengthens relationships, and fosters camaraderie. #leadership #career …see more

In a world where people wear busy like a badge of honor, not being busy can feel awkward and unnatural. But busy does not equal productive. The counterintuitive solution to productivity may lie in the very thing we fear will impede it: slowing down. Here are six ways to jump off the hamster wheel: 1. Order that latte for here. Instead of grabbing yet another to-go coffee, sit down, savor that first sip, resist taking out your smartphone and quietly notice the world around you. 2. Go old school with a pad and pen. There's something about capturing your ideas with pen and paper that drives creativity. 3. Schedule time to do nothing on purpose. Your busy schedule will get even more hectic unless you build into your calendar space to think, observe and listen to your inner voice. 4. Change your environment. Create a distraction-free, quiet space at home or work, or head outside. 6. Engage in activities that invite you to participate at a slower pace. Try meditation or yoga, or channel your inner Einstein, who relied on his daily walk to boost his memory, creativity and problem-solving. 7. Lose the guilt. By unapologetically incorporating periods of stillness, you'll ensure enhanced productivity—and well-being. #leadership #career #productivity …see more

When I told my friends I was working on a piece about preventing burnout, they were quick to point out the hypocrisy. This past year, I have dealt with burnout multiple times. As a recent college graduate, the transition to full-time has been a bit bumpy. So, I decided to ask some of my favorite founders, CEOs, strategists, and more how they try to prevent burnout. Thank you to Goldie Chan , Quentin Allums , Sarah Grosz , Sam Park , Germain Louie , and Kyle Elliott, MPA, CHES (Career and Life Coach) for all your great advice! How do you prevent burnout? #hardwork #mentorship #mentalhealth *Note the pdf should say Germain Louie not Germain Louis …see more

Some technologies had been neglected for years, waiting for the perfect moment to manifest when there was no alternative to applying them. That moment came with a pandemic. And once they could show their worth, they won't be put back in their box.

Kamal went missing. Again. Kamal and I have been friends for over ten years now. It’s one of the greatest things about the Internet for me. No matter what the criticisms, the Internet has given me a family, close friends, great business partners. And, with Kamal, all of the above. But he was gone. I couldn’t get ahold of him. I called Brandon, “Have you seen him?” Nothing. I called Steve. Nothing. I sent a bunch of messages. I didn’t know how to find him. . . . #lifestyle #loveyourself #writing #selfpublishing #entr …see more

“I will kill you if you repeat this conversation,” Shlomo told me. “I think this web thing is going to be big.” This was 1995. “I want to undercut all of the stores on the street and sell diamonds direct to people at cheaper prices.” Shlomo was the wholesaler to all the retail shops in NYC’s diamond district. “But my name can’t be anywhere on the site at all or else these guys here,” and he waved his hand around his head, “will kill me” I had $0 in the bank. I knew nothing about diamonds. . . . . . #writing #programming #entrepreneur #lifestyle #money …see more
