Detroit was once one of America's great business ecosystems until it was crushed by the automation of manufacturing jobs and a changing economy. A city that once had a population of 1.7 million now stands at around 700,000. Detroit's history and its rolling comeback are emblematic of true American grit, perseverance, and what happens when leaders ignore changing technologies. It is here where I chose to kick off my 2018 Humanity First Tour in my run for president in 2020. The tour will visit Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Henniker, Baltimore, and Iowa City. Join me on the trail and let's fix America. …see more

They say that hindsight is 20/20, but what if foresight could be 20/20, too? Foresight is planning for what we think will happen before it happens. It’s about setting goals and then taking small actions, regularly and deliberately over time, to achieve your larger objectives. To make your foresight 20/20: Stop making excuses and move past your fear. Fear can manifest itself in weird ways, appearing as procrastination, self-preservation, or perfectionism. But the real damage comes from the inaction that fear enables. Get clear on what you want. Clarity is essential: the more focused you can be about your goals, the better. Create an environment for success. It’s not just the what, but also the who, that you surround yourself with that can either propel you forward…or hold you back. Take action. Rather than get wrapped up in the enormity of your objective, focus on the task at hand and keep moving. Find an accountability partner. It’s easy to be enthusiastic at the beginning of a challenge, but it’s far harder to stay motivated as time goes by. Enlist someone to hold you accountable. Don’t forget to look back. Yes, foresight is about looking forward, but there’s great satisfaction that comes with the perspective of recalling how far you’ve come. #leadership #goals …see more

As a marketer, I'm amazed by those who "aren't marketers" and yet who are actually the most amazing marketers I've ever met. The most recent example for me is Nimantha Gayan Perera . He's the top Google Data Studio expert in the world. I found him because every time I search for answers to complex DS questions, his answers are always the best. Because I saw him everywhere, I assumed he'd be too busy to work with us, but I reached out anyway and have been so impressed. He answers the hardest questions on the Data Studio forums and StackOverflow, always with a video showing exactly how to implement the solution. He totally owns the topic. These posts are evergreen and bring organic, referral traffic. He goes by Nimantha online because it's an uncommon name and it's easy to remember. He intuitively understood personal branding. He's incredible at spreadsheets and about every data tool out there, but he's built his brand on Data Studio because it was less crowded. He gets niching down and specializing. When talking to him, it's never about the money. He understands building relationships, loyalty, and trust. Without ever taking a single marketing course, Nimantha is twice the marketer than I was after getting my degree in it. Bravo Nimantha! You're a marketing rockstar! …see more
