1. What my brain became -
2. What I shared with my team -
- When it comes to starting and growing a business there is always one thing to focus on. This article nails it. One of the best articulations of business strategy I've read. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, or would like to be - I'd bookmark this.
3. What I'm protecting -
- Maybe it's just me, but I use the same simple login credentials for "low priority" websites - like snapchat. This isn't too smart though. Black markets trade third-party data breaches. And this 'account hijacking' happens to over 15% of people and it's exactly what happened to me on snapchat. To protect my accounts, I just installed this sophisticated new Chrome extension that checks if your info is floating around for sale.
4. What launched -
- JP Morgan is now the 1st major US bank to launch its own cryptocurrency. While I don't think their use case is particularly savvy, I do think we are seeing people, even the entrenched incumbents, realize the inevitability of cryptocurrency and the power of blockchain tech.
5. What a 2nd grader taught me -
- As this 2nd grader shook and sobed in histeria on his way to the dental chair, he taught me a lesson about anxiety, worry, and stress - and reminded me of a couple tricks from social psychology to live more relaxed and free.
6. What quote I've been thinking about -
"Be not a slave of your own past -
plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far,
so you shall come back with new self-respect,
with new power, and with an advanced experience
that shall explain and overlook the old."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
7. What I'm giving away -
It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you,
hope you have a great weekend!
Kevin
