If you were able to go back in time and start your career all over again, what lessons that have you learned would you apply to your new career? What would you do or not do based on what you have seen?

A lot of folks read this as “so go start a company”. In the words of Busta Rhymes “this rap 💩was not designed for every swollen muffin.” I ran a company for 16 years. We were successful. I never made market. Now I make a lot more with less stress in corporate.

Entrepreneurship is an amazing experience. But building a team and shaping the direction of a section of a company, or a whole company, can also be a rewarding journey.
TL;DR: Get paid. There are a lot of ways to get paid.

BLACK PEOPLE PAID FOR WHITE PEOPLE'S STUFF. They paid taxes for fire departments and GI bills and federal subsidies and a good public education system and WHITE PEOPLE GOT IT.
No one cares about how white people FEEL about Black people. We want our STUFF

You remember when you were a kid and someone in your friend group insisted on being called Laser but everybody just calls him Mikey? That’s kind of like what’s happening here.

It's almost as if workers have the power to bring capitalism to a screeching halt by withholding their labour 🧐🤔🤯

This smooth jazz version of Ginuwine’s “Pony” is making me feel very much like I’m in a waiting room.
I mean, I am at the dentist in a waiting room, but the vibe is very real.

They’re talking about eclipses. I saw the total eclipse in umm, 2019? in South Carolina. That was stunning, and it’s actually worth a trip to see one if you can.

It’s a good show for people who like space but are intimidated by the math or the vastness. Or people who used to want to be astrophysicists and loved this stuff but forgot about most of it when they went into computers. Umm. . . whoever they are.
