"Companies face a shorter life span than ever before". It's interesting there is only ONE version ever made of this chart, by ONE company, ONCE. It's never been updated and the projections it were made have not been tested. And even then the conclusion wasn't clear from it ( 2020 was set to look a lot like 1990) Yet it's never once stopped the narrative of "disrupt or be disrupted" . People are funny. …see more

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses affecting 19% of the adult population in the US each year - and around 264 million people worldwide. The problem often emerges in connection with technology, but now I explore a reverse causation: how digital health technologies can address anxiety disorders and stress - as also proven by research. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #fromchancetochoice #anxiety #anxietydisorder #stress …see more

Let me tell you about the beauty of having a partner who had a #barbershop . He knows everybody in Newark. One of his clients is Judner Aura, a tech savvy reviewer who always would come to the shop with some gadget or electric scooter. The funny thing is, we actually met Judner or he met us when he interviewed us for his podcast one weekend while we were relaxing at Branch Brook Park. Years later, I linked up with Judner to use his tech review site, UrAvgConsumer, as the main staple for Arkrepublic and our #Tech Talk. …see more

When you are a speaker on the same panel as someone like Edith M. Lederer, it's time to take stock of things. You are no longer an ingenue, or an acolyte, or a meek and humble observer. You may have done something worthy of sitting alongside the eminence and grace of a woman who has dominated her profession for 50 years and shows no signs of slowing down. You must clear your throat and speak up, and pray you'll be considered a colleague. Come to think of it, you have just arrived. #jaws17 #JAWS #women #journalism #mentoring …see more

"Success isn't owned - it's leased. And rent is due every day.  Every single day, someone's coming for your job. Someone's coming for your greatness.  If you're the greatest, someone wants to be the greatest, and so if you're not constantly improving your game, somebody else is." Extremely inspiring quote, pushing us all to work harder. Thanks Joe Martin  for sharing. And thanks J.J. Watt for enlightening! …see more

If you are looking for the very best Android phone available today, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Here’s why.

There is another universe where the pandemic brought about a lot of walking meetings (outdoors) , brief encounters, a celebration of "thinking" time & focusing only on meaningful progress towards what matters. But instead, we got scared that we'd lose our job so spent the whole time in Zoom meetings to show we could be trusted to "work from home" …see more

Feeling alone: Saddened to read about the tragic death of CCD owner V. G. Siddhartha. I didn’t know him well, & like others, I too wondered how to make sense of this news. Who among us hasn’t felt lonely in our burdens & responsibilities at one time or the other? What stops us from giving in to despair, despondency & lose the will to live? Something snaps & you see no hope or future. Research shows that the majority of people are glad to be alive if they can get past those difficult moments. We don’t know what the soul suffers when a person dies. But we know that the people left behind are anguished for life with guilt, regret, & unresolved questions. V. G. Siddhartha, the founder of CCD, was a first-mover in the India coffee chain opportunity. But no matter how hard you work, the realities of building a successful business are soul crunching. Even with success, factors like changing markets, competition, profitability, debt, & investor pressures are ever-present. When the pressure gets too much, talk to a counselor; learn anxiety management tools; lean into your inner circle. Don’t take your life. Don’t leave behind a circle of grief. My heartfelt condolences to Siddhartha's family and friends. May his soul rest in peace. …see more

It's always crazy to me people can put out graphs of future trends with only one data point and the rest are estimated. Especially when it goes entirely against general trend lines and with no explanation. If small businesses continue to grow?? .......then how come fewer companies are being set up each year and the percentage of the population working in them declines each each? Not also that the failure rate of companies is not faster than ever as many say but pretty much the same as always. …see more

It is interesting to see how Johnson & Johnson Health and Wellness Solutions, Inc. 's reaction to a shift in consumer desires allowed other brands like California Baby and Evereden to get a foothold in the space. Sure, J & J has done consumer research and adjusted their packaging and formulas, which is good. But they might be missing the direct-to-consumer shift in how people relate to brands that those changes don't address.

When I first started as the Linkedin Campus Editor at USC, I didn't even attend the college yet.  
 I was about to transfer from UC Irvine, and spent hours after class driving back and forth between Irvine and South LA to meet with students about the platform and how they could create content on it. By my 3rd day as an official USC student, I was on the front page of the university newspaper. The Campus Editor Program was imperative in my career, but also in my self-image, teaching me to stretch myself beyond my "student" title and to express myself online. The community aspect made it one of my most rewarding experiences to date.  
 Being an alumni of the program, I have had the privilege working with  Joel Hansen and Annette H. , and I am proud that in August we are heading up the first Campus Editor Meetup at LinkedIn HQ in the San Fransisco Bay Area.  
 Thank you to Maya Pope-Chappell  and all the Campus Editors that I have had the privilege of meeting along the way: Hana J. , Tim Salau , Cornelius McGrath , Frederick Daso , Manu Goswami ,  Kate J. , Cheechee L. , Tiara Conley ,  Scarlett H. ,  Will Lawrence , Nathan Chiu , Leann Abad , Makenzee Frohlich , Casey Rosen , and so many more. …see more

The dramatic impact of massive government support on income during #COVID : the average worker in #Georgia who became unemployed in April doubled their income. But after August, #unemploymentbenefits will be only half their prior job pay. We need a massive jobs recovery. …see more
