When we first announced our Moral Ambition Fellowship at Harvard, some people pushed back: ‘Why focus on privileged kids? Aren’t they just future sell-outs?’ I get the question. But what we’ve found is the opposite. Most students genuinely want to do good, they’re just funneled into BS-jobs by companies...

Suozzi: When something crazy is being proposed—something outlandish—we need to fight and resist. But when something addresses the concerns of the American people, we need to find common ground and get things done. This isn’t just about the election in 2026 or the election in 2028. It’s about right now. It’s about making people’s lives better now. A lot of people will say, “Well, the Republicans didn’t do that. They didn’t help Biden get things done. They didn’t work across party lines when they controlled the House.” And that’s true. It was the least productive Congress in modern history… But just because that’s what they did doesn’t mean that’s what we should do. It’s not just about winning. It’s about trying to move the country forward, solve problems, and make people’s lives better. This business isn’t worth it for the ego or just for the competition—“I’m right, you’re wrong; I win, you lose.” It’s only worth it if we’re actually making the world a better place to live in. We need to call out the Republicans when they do crazy stuff, when they’re extreme. But we also need to work with them when we can find ways forward to make our country a better place to live in.

Steve Jobs on how to build a great brand After re-joining Apple in 1996, Steve Jobs announced the “Think different” campaign with the following statement: “To me, marketing is about values. This is a very complicated and noisy world. We’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us. No company is. So we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us.” He cites Nike as one of the greatest jobs of marketing the universe has ever seen: “Remember, Nike sells a commodity—they sell shoes! And yet when you think of Nike, you feel something different than a shoe company. In their ads, they don’t ever talk about the product. They don’t ever tell you about their air soles and why they are better than Reebok’s air soles. What does Nike do in their advertising? They honor great athletes, and they honor great athletics. That’s who they are, that’s what they are about.” Marketing guru Seth Godin also used Nike as an example of great branding in a blog post a few years ago: “If Nike announced that they were opening a hotel, you’d have a pretty good guess about what it would be like. But if Hyatt announced that they were going to start making shoes, you would have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what those shoes would be like. That’s because Nike owns a brand and Hyatt simply owns real estate.” Jobs goes on to explain how the Apple team arrived at the “Think Different” campaign: “Our customers want to know who is Apple and what is it that we stand for. Where do we fit in this world? What we’re about isn’t making boxes for people to get their jobs done—although we do that well. We do that better than almost anybody, in some cases. But Apple is about something more than that. Apple at the core—its core value—is that we believe people with passion can change the world for the better… And that those people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who actually do.” He continues: “And so, what we’re going to do in our first brand marketing campaign in several years is to get back to that core value. A lot of things have changed. The market is in a totally different place than it was a decade ago, and Apple is totally different… the products and the distribution strategy and the manufacturing are totally different. And we understand that. But values and core values—those things shouldn’t change. The things that Apple believed in, at its core, are the same things that Apple really stands for today.” Apple’s “Think Different” campaign was designed to honor those people who have changed the world. And as Jobs so eloquently put it: “Some of them are living. Some of them are not. But the ones that aren’t, you’ll know that if they ever used a computer, it would’ve been a Mac. The theme of the campaign is ‘Think Different.’ It’s honoring the people who think different and who move this world forward. And it is what we are about. It touches the soul of this company.” If you’re looking to create a great brand, I’d start out by asking: what are your core values and what does your company honor?

This woman is a Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician in America She says she’s seeing more and more doctors leave practicing medicine because what US Health Insurance companies are doing to healthcare She explains why, this is important information: “I believe what we are seeing with healthcare professionals is not just burnout, it's something far more insidious and painful. This is moral injury. — Moral injury. The pain of knowing what the right thing is for the patient, but being unable to do that because of systemic barriers. And over time, this wears you down. I have seen so many people leave the profession because it has eroded their sense of purpose, their love for the job. And we take a Hippocratic oath to do no harm. But in a system that doesn't place human health at the center, that becomes harder and harder to uphold. And that disconnect from what we are trained to do, from what we can actually do, creates a very painful wound. And when the healers themselves are wounded, when their hands are tied, when their clinical judgment is overruled, they don't just feel that defeat themselves, they that trickles down to the patient. — So when we see our providers juggling insurance company protocols, productivity metrics, hospital bureaucracy, the relentless pull of the electronic medical record, all of these things take the doctor away, the patient. If we really want to understand why the United States spends more on health care than any other nation, while delivering some of the worst outcomes, we need to start being honest. The system just isn't inefficient. It is deeply misaligned with care and having it be patient first” US Health Insurance companies are absolutely destroying American Healthcare and we all must keep sharing these important stories because something has to change

.Rep. Justin Jones: "“We still have Democrats were acting like this is early 2000 politics. That world of normalcy is gone. This is a war for the future of our democracy. And the South is the front line in that battle… I would say to the governors and to the lawmakers in those [blue] states that this is a moment to put our morals above our manners. What is moral is to act, not just for us, but for generations who are counting on us, what we do in this moment. I think we're going to be judged not by what we do, but by what we don't do.”

Jensen Huang: “Your job is to make a unique contribution” When Stanford MBA students ask his advice, Jensen offers the following: “Your job is to make a unique contribution, to live a life of purpose, to do something that nobody else in the world would do or can do… so that after you’re done, everybody says the world was better because you were here.” To do this, Jensen recommends going forward in time and then looking backwards: “You figure out what is the end result that you’re looking for, and you work backwards to achieve it.” He gives his experience with NVIDIA as an example: “I imagine NVIDIA making a unique contribution to advancing the future of computing, which is the single most important instrument of all humanity. No, it’s not about our self-importance, but this is just what we’re good at. And it’s incredibly hard to do. And we believe we can make an absolute unique contribution. It’s taken us 31 years to be here, and we’re still just beginning our journey.” Source: Stanford Graduate School of Business (Mar 2024)

Elon Musk on why the legacy auto industry is stuck in the dinosaur age and driving down the path of extinction: “You can always learn something from a competitor, but strategically, they are just headed in the direction of the dinosaurs. They are not headed for a good place - dinosaurs are not around anymore We are certainly going a very different path. Electric and autonomous driving has been blindingly obvious to me for 20 years plus” Elon points out that it is nearly impossible to force legacy companies to adopt better, more logical ideas. Even when the future is "blindingly obvious," they often refuse to change Tesla’s approach is simple: “We need to do what is sensible and logical. At Tesla, we are essentially creating the future, and it’s a good future.”

We're simply enforcing the laws that CONGRESS passed. We didn't make the laws. We didn't even make the statutes. Congress did. And if they want to change it, they could have!"

"They're willing to shut down ALL 20 other components throughout the Department of Homeland to do that. That has to change."

It's one of the best days of my life. The next day, I go on a Zoom meeting, and it was like it never happened." "It became like the saddest day of my life. Because I realized, I got all this adulation, and I don't feel any different." "Adulation is like a cup with a hole at the bottom. You keep filling it in, thinking it's love, except it just keeps coming out the bottom." "That made me reevaluate what I'm doing this for. I want to do things for pure intrinsic reasons. Do the work like you used to do, like when you were a kid. It was light. Just make stuff. Make it for yourself." "So many entrepreneurs focus on what they want to be. "I want to be a giant tech founder. I want to run a billion-dollar company." Instead of focusing on, "What do I want to make." There's no way to fail if you're making what you love."

Marc Andreessen’s 2 reasons for why founder-run companies are harder to disrupt “If you just look historically at many of the important technology companies of the last 50-100 years, many of them are run by their founders for decades… And a lot of it has to do with disruption.” Marc continues: “There’s this cliché of founders that a lot of people believe which is that founders are too stubborn and founders get too locked into their original idea and they can’t adapt as times change. We’ve actually found the opposite to be true. We’ve found that when a company is going to get disrupted, the person in many cases with the best odds of countering the disruption is the founder, and I think there’s a couple of different reasons for that.” The two reasons Marc shares are: 1. The founder remembers when the business was nothing, and are constantly haunted by the fact that the business could be a zero again: “The founder remembers what it was like when there was nobody else in the office with you and when you carried out your own trash can. The founder remembers this thing used to be zero.” 2. The founder carries enormous moral weight inside the company and can more easily make drastic changes: “When Steve Jobs goes into Apple and says times are changing we need to do X - and X is heresy… A Steve jobs - a founder - is going to be able to convince the company that they have to do that. Whereas if a professional CEO shows up and says that, everybody’s going to be like, ‘Ooh, I don’t know.’” Source: Startup Grind (Feb 2016)

🤔 Harriet Harman just went on national television and said this with a straight face: “The only way we’ll have a woman leader of the Labour Party next time is if we start a conversation now where we say that actually, men cannot stand for the leadership next time. What we need to do is for women’s ambition to be encouraged and male ambition to be discouraged.” Let that sink in. A senior Labour figure is openly calling for men to be barred from standing and for male ambition itself to be actively discouraged. Not “encourage more women”. Not “equality”. Straight-up: lock men out and tell boys their ambition is the problem. The best person for the job should get the job, full stop. Anything else is identity politics over competence, and it’s toxic. What message does this send to every young man or boy who works hard and wants to lead? Your ambition is unwelcome. Sit down so we can force a preferred outcome. Just when you think Labour’s gender obsession couldn’t get more extreme, they manage to lower the bar again. Meritocracy or discrimination. You can’t have both.

Money is debt, and debt is money. It confuses a lot of people when I say that, but the mechanics are fairly straightforward. A debt instrument is just a promise to deliver money in the future. What that money is worth determines the value of what you’re holding. That’s why currency valuation is so critical, and why I think people need to pay more attention to it when thinking about the broader economy. Nikhil Kamath

This Pastor gives one of the best explanations on why our borders shouldn’t be open and why people need to pledge allegiance to our country. “You know why the borders should not be open?….The reason the borders need to be closed is because when you come into a sovereign nation and you don’t pledge your allegiance, it’s treasonous. When borders are open for anybody just to walk in, and they are not required to pledge their allegiance and to give a commitment to one nation, …the first problem when they don’t pledge their allegiance and they come across the border, they bring their own nation with them. So instead of being America, being one nation, we become 60,70,80,90,100 different nations and you’re sowing division and discord into this nation. Because the people have never made a pledge to understand that even though we come from every nation, when we’re here, we’re one nation!” He is 100% correct. One of the best explanations given. When you bypass coming in legally and don’t pledge allegiance, you don’t deserve any rights from our country.

If nothing changes, what will your life actually look like in 2026? Most people don’t get stuck because they lack ambition - they get stuck because they never pause long enough to choose. Today I’m joined by Chris Williamson returning to The Diary Of A CEO for the second time, to help make sense of the decisions that shape where we end up next year. Chris is the host of Modern Wisdom, one of the world’s biggest podcasts, and someone who’s spent years speaking to psychologists and founders about why people struggle to change even when they know what they want. He talks about the decisions we delay and the discomfort we avoid, and how easy it is to wake up years later wondering where the time went.

Chris is the host of Modern Wisdom, one of the world’s biggest podcasts, and someone who’s spent years speaking to psychologists and founders about why people struggle to change even when they know what they want. He talks about the decisions we delay and the discomfort we avoid, and how easy it is to wake up years later wondering where the time went.

Q: Jeff Bezos said that him paying more in taxes wouldn’t help a teacher in Queens. What would you say to Jeff Bezos? Zohran Mamdani: “I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ. We’re talking about some of the wealthiest people in the world and what we’re asking is for them to pay their fair share. If we had people who are making more money than we can even imagine just in the time they’re taking to share those opinions paying their fair share, we would have a different city to call home”

THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT WAR War is terrible. But sometimes, the alternative is worse. I walk through the core question: when is war justified? Start with self-defense. If a nation—or a people—is under threat, do they have the right to fight back? Of course they do. I break down the moral and practical framework—what matters isn’t just war itself, but who is fighting, why they’re fighting, and what they’re trying to achieve. That’s the distinction too many people ignore. I also explain how these principles aren’t new. The idea of self-defense—even lethal force in defense of life—is rooted in biblical teaching, just as concepts like justice and punishment are. So how can anyone take the position that all war is unjustified, no matter the circumstances? This isn’t about glorifying war—it’s about understanding when it becomes necessary.

Angry Democrat caller ERUPTS live on C-SPAN, torches Democrats over govt shutdown — announces he’s LEAVING the party. “I’m a Democrat, but I don’t understand what the party is doing… They’re holding out because THEY DON’T LIKE THE ORANGE MAN IN OFFICE. “So why are they blaming the other side when they’re the ones that have to come to the table and do the votes? They have to vote the right way to open the government and make sure that everybody has their checks and is getting paid. “And I think it’s kind of cruel to actually sit back and not participate because you don’t feel like the other party is doing what you want them to do. “There’s a trans section in there as well. They want to give money to afford trans surgeries for young kids. “And all this stuff that the Democrats have now gone into, which I am nowhere near. In fact, I think I’m going to be LEAVING the Democrat Party because this happens too often where they’re blaming the opposite party when they know they can do the right thing. “They need to do the right thing and reopen this government instead of keeping it shut down. Like they’re hijacking the American people. I’ve seen it before. We’ve seen them vote the right way when they’re in power, so why the hell can’t they vote the right way when they’re not in power? “So get this government back open. Get the American people what they deserve. And this is basically a Schumer shutdown. From what I’ve seen, from what I’ve been watching on C-SPAN, what they show [is] the Democrats whining and crying and blaming. That’s what I see.” The caller’s rant clearly left the C-SPAN host unamused. “All right, Jason,” she said before moving on to the next caller.

How do we help learners find a pathway to success that is meaningful to them? Too often, “success” is determined by others for our students, but everyone reading this right now could consider themselves successful, but have very different measures on what that means to them. If I don’t have a say on what success looks like to me, why would I care about getting to someone else’s destination? This is something I have been thinking about a lot since I was the opening keynote at #NAGC23 this past week, and how I emphasized the importance of focusing on bringing out the gifts in EVERY learner we serve, including our adults. We can’t bring out the best in our students if we only focus on the deficits of what we do as adults in education. It is imperative that we don’t just “value” people but that people feel valued. There is a difference in those two ideas. Here is a question I have really been focused on over the last few years; Do our students walk out of school all good at the same thing, or do they all walk out knowing they are good at something? Not everything that is important to bring out the gifts in our students can be easily measured, but not all things that matter can fit into nice and neat metrics. Helping learners find their own gifts within education ensures that they are more likely to find that pathway to success that matters most to them. NAGC
