  • How Do We Fix Housing?

    How Do We Fix Housing?
    Nov 29 2024
    How do we fix housing? Malcolm Gladwell stated that housing is the next big problem we must solve. Housing—more than just shelter—represents stability, opportunity, and equity. So, where do we even begin?‌ What’s your take? What bold ideas, unconventional solutions, or small experiments could move the needle on this issue? What's Melvin reading? Revenge of The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell Nugget - Small-area variation refers to differences in healthcare practices or outcomes between regions with similar populations, driven by localized factors like provider behavior, cultural norms, or resource distribution. "How your doctor treats you, in many cases, has less to do with where your doctor was trained, or how well he or she did in medical school, or what kind of personality your doctor has, than with where your doctor lives." Last Thoughts - Vincent Van Gogh on reality being less scary than our imagination: “Fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm fearsome, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. They leave that wisdom to those to whom it appeals. When the storm comes—when night falls—what’s worse: the danger or the fear of danger? Give me reality, the danger itself.” Buddy Check Day, observed on the 11th of each month, is a dedicated initiative to support military veterans. The project encourages individuals to reach out and connect with veterans, promoting a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. By participating in this simple yet meaningful gesture of checking in, people can express gratitude to those who have served in the military and help maintain strong bonds within the veteran community.

    What's the Current Situation in Ukraine? with David Nicholas

    What's the current situation in Ukraine? With David Nicholas ‌ What's Melvin reading? Management Challenges for the 21st Century By Peter Drucker Nugget - Future-Proof Leadership: Embrace Change, Empower Knowledge, and Lead with Vision. Last Thoughts - Dr. Richard Grant ~ The brain moves at the speed of sensory data and information. But the human heart moves at the speed of agriculture. This metaphor suggests that while our cognitive processes can rapidly adapt to new information, emotional changes occur more gradually, akin to the slow and steady pace of agricultural cycles.

  • Have you asked any good questions today?

    Have you asked any good questions today?
    Nov 9 2024
    "Have you asked any good questions today?" A question that can encourage people to explore, wonder, and learn in insightful ways. Nobel laureate in physics Isidor I. Rabi credited his mother with inspiring him to become a scientist by asking him this question instead of the more common "Did you learn anything today?". “My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions” ~ Peter Drucker ‌ What's Melvin reading? The New Realities - In Government and Politics / In Economics and Business / In Society and World View by Peter Drucker Nugget - "The resistance to, and contempt for, business and trade on the part of the upper classes - the English gentleman, the Prussian Junker, the French aristocrat, and the clergy - stemmed above all from resentment and fear of the social mobility business offered far too many members of the 'lower orders,' who then promptly forgot their 'place.'" (think about the world painted it in this sentence, not that long ago) Last Thoughts - “Results are obtained by exploiting opportunities, not by solving problems.” ~ Peter Drucker Buddy Check Day, observed on the 11th of each month, is a dedicated initiative to support military veterans.
