Seth Godin gave a masterclass on how to build an unforgettable brand in the age of AI: 1. Marketing is not about spend. It is about creating the conditions for other people to eagerly spread your idea. 2. Authenticity is overrated. What customers actually want is consistency. Show up the same way every single time and that is worth more than any Super Bowl ad. 3. Everything your company does is a marketing decision. How you answer the phone. What you charge. How you design things. Marketing is not a department. It is everything. 4. Trust is simple. Make a promise. Keep it. Especially when it is hard. 5. Successful brands are built with your customers talking about you. Not you talking about you. 6. A brand is not a logo. A brand is a promise. Nike has a brand. Hyatt has a logo. One of them you know exactly what to expect. The other you do not. 7. You are measuring the wrong things. Follower counts. Stock price. Open rates. False proxies will take your business in the wrong direction faster than anything else. 8. Social media followers mean nothing. Godin has 400,000 Instagram followers and says if he posts about a new book maybe 12 people buy it. The number is a distraction. 9. Stop trying to be famous. The goal is not to get more famous. The goal is to get less famous and more trusted. 10. Average marketing reaches average people. Average people will not buy your product. You need the people who will talk about you, challenge you, and eagerly pay more for better. 11. When you pick your customers you pick your future. Stop trying to reach everyone. Start trying to deeply serve someone specific. 12. Better beats louder every time. One guy running a wine email list with 130,000 subscribers does $30 million a year in revenue. No ads. No social media hustle. Just consistently better. 13. The real opportunity with AI is not making things cheaper. It is making things better. The businesses that use AI to deepen relationships will win. The ones using it to cut costs will race to the bottom. 14. Your job is not to do your job. Your job is to solve problems for other people and make things better by making better things. Everything else is just noise. 15. When AI becomes the buyer it will always choose the cheapest option. If your entire business strategy is being the cheapest, AI will destroy you. The only protection is being worth it in ways that cannot be easily measured. 16. The next level of marketing is permission at a depth nobody has achieved before. The brand that knows your tools, your projects, your needs, and shows up to help without being asked will be impossible to replace. 17. Most businesses will use AI to spam more people faster. The businesses that win will use AI to serve fewer people better. That gap is the biggest opportunity in marketing right now. 18. You have a squadron of summer interns available for twenty dollars a month. They are not that good but they are very eager. The businesses learning to be good bosses of AI right now will have an enormous advantage over everyone waiting to figure it out later. 19. The question every business should be asking is not how do I get more attention. It is how do I become the kind of business that people would genuinely miss if it disappeared tomorrow. That answer is your entire marketing strategy.

Immigration attorney says โ€œIโ€™m really looking forward to the next administrationโ€ because the Trump Administration is too strict and she wants more foreigners to be able to live in America Sheโ€™s even teaching DACA loopholes on how to avoid new Trump Admin rules and stay in America illegally for 5 years and get a green card There have been changes in DACA โ€œThe BIA released a decision saying that basically anyone who leaves and comes back on advance parole is no longer eligible to adjust status in the United States for a green card Before this decision, you'd be able to leave and come back on advance parole, and it would not trigger any kind of bars to re-entry or issues when adjusting status. But now, advance parole is considered a departure, which could be a problem for a lot of DACA recipients. So if you have more than 6 months of unlawful presence, meaning you got DACA after turning 18 and 6 months, or you had an expiration in between renewals of more than six months, now it's gonna be an issue when you leave on advance parole 'cause you won't be able to come back without a waiver, and those can take up to three years to process while you're outside the country before you're allowed back in. Now, the most important question is, is it retroactive? No, meaning if you already did advance parole and you're wanting to adjust status in the United States, you should be good to go. So it's an issue for anybody else wanting to apply in the future, however, advance parole is not even a thing right now anyway. The Trump administration has stopped adjudicating them altogether, and this might be the reason why. Second issue, a lot of DACA recipients had removal orders from when they were little because of their parents. Now, if you have a removal order and you're leaving and coming back on advance parole, it'll technically execute your removal order, and you will not be allowed back inโ€ โ€œThe BIA has been completely overhauled by Trump, so this surprises no one, and it shouldn't. However, I'm really looking forward to the next administration.โ€ Hereโ€™s what that means in simple terms If someone including DACA recipients left the United States temporarily using advance parole and then came back, it did not count as a real โ€œdeparture.โ€ That meant it usually did not trigger the 3 year or 10 year bars for having been in the US without permission. People could still apply for a green card without issues form the travel The new decision says leaving on advance parole now counts as a departure Keep in mind DACA was always meant to be temporary. This program was never meant to be anything other than temporary

This is the wrap up to my social experiment going undercover on a dating website as a man trying to get a good woman. (I meander more than a little, but hopefully you find some nuggets in here helpful.) These are the conclusions I've come to about why men are struggling so badly on these dating websites. Men face many battles women do not. 40% of female profiles are gold diggers, hookers or bots. Men greatly outnumber women, and they get discouraged quickly. Reasons men fail on dating websites: 1. Refusing to develop your communication skills. My generation has a phrase, "Don't hate the player, hate the game." Be funny, charming and fun, or don't cry when she picks someone else who is. 2. Half-assing your dating profile. Mating rituals exist in all walks of the animal kingdom, so if you refuse to show her why she should pick you then don't expect to be picked. We all sell ourselves to the opposite gender in some way. It's just a fact of human life, and whining about it won't serve you well, change that fact, or get the girl. 3. A cringeworthy user name. Sure, your frat buddies will find, "EatYouAllNight69" hilarious, but it's not going to get you anyone worth a damn. Trust me, high value women hate that. 4. You don't want a pen pal, so go in with the idea that your goal is to get her number and get her off that site as soon as possible, or someone else will. Women are desperate for a strong, masculine man she can trust to lead and protect her from the dragons at the gate. A nice guy is too weak and desperate to do it, and a jerk is just mean and abusive. Again, mating rituals exist in every walk of the animal kingdom and humans are no different. You will only get out of this life and a potential mate the effort you are willing to put in, and that includes developing your mind and body to be the best version of yourself. Not just for her, but for you too. A needy guy with low self-esteem is never going to get the girl. Good boundaries and a healthy self image equals success, so get back into the gym and start eating clean. The better you look the better you'll feel. The better you feel the more success in life you'll have. A 300lb girl with 5 kids with different fathers is never going to get a good man. Control your reproduction and stop being a wh*re. Despite what feminists tell you, girls, your body count does matter to him. Keep it low and maintain your dignity. Research has shown time and again that women are instinctively drawn to certain traits like bravery, intelligence, and a willingness to take risks. Basically, if it would keep you from getting voted off the island on Survivor, sheโ€™s going to think itโ€™s hot. Make sure your profile highlights these kind of personality traits in an attractive way. Stop whining about height! We DGAF about how tall you are just so long as it's taller than us. Your insecurities will make you desperate, needy and totally hamstring your chances. Bottom line: Without effort don't expect success. In anything, really. You'll always find an excuse to stay exactly where you are and you'll only change your stars when the place your living becomes more painful/difficult then than they journey you need to take for a better life.

Josh Berry shares on a Ford Racing call that he will not return to Wood Brothers Racing in 2027. Said he's less than 24 hours from finding out he won't be back. "What I didn't want to do was sit here and feed a line to you guys and then have it get announced in 30 minutes. I feel like that'd make me look pretty ignorant, so I wasn't gonna do that." When asked if the decision surprised him or caught him off guard, Josh admitted not really and he didn't feel great about his chances of returning considering the way his team has struggled this season. "If we had ran better, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. But we didn't." Says he's "open and optimistic" about any opportunities that may be out there for next season. Still feels like he's the same driver that won Las Vegas last year and he has representation from KHI going for him.

IS IT ADVISABLE TO MARRY A WOMAN WHO IS MORE CAREER-DRIVEN THAN YOU? Hello, friends. Welcome to another episode of Mr & Mrs Better Half. It is designed to strengthen marriages and relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word. Sometimes ago, I asked some friends, โ€˜what do you think causes major friction in a marriage?โ€™ One of the answers was money. On further probing, we got into one of the big money issues: โ€œFinances are often problematic when the wife earns more.โ€ A follow-up question: Since few earn millions on their 1st job, how did these women build their finances to surpass their husbandsโ€™? Again, we hit another interesting note- โ€˜some women are too ambitious! If they would just โ€˜chillโ€™ things would be okay.โ€™ This statement threw up so many questions. Should a wife deliberately go for a low-paying job to avoid earning more than her husband? Should she also perform poorly to ensure she doesnโ€™t get promoted? If sheโ€™s offered a raise, should she refuse? Of course, these things sound silly but these are actual options some couples have considered in their homes to preserve the peace. Sometimes, the man actually starts out earning more but calamity strikes and his business/career goes downhill. So the once โ€˜balancedโ€™ household turns upside down because the woman now pulls most of the financial weight. The big question you should ask is this. โ€˜Why should money (something so many seem to be chasing) which should make life easier become the very thing that can cause unhappiness? There are 4 things I would like you to consider today- Changing times, Culture, Acceptance and Attitude. A) Changing Times: Men, the days when women in the workplace were oddities have since gone. With advancements in technology, many of the more physical jobs have been taken over by machines. This means that thereโ€™s no reason women should be sidelined on the grounds of being physically weaker than men. This coupled with the realization of a womanโ€™s right to express her intelligence means the world has made much progress where women in the workplace are concerned. Today there is hardly any industry where you will not find women doing remarkable things. As a result, it is not uncommon for husbands & wives to earn similar salaries or have the wives even bringing more. The truth is that most men like the added household income- who wouldnโ€™t? The only thing is that they just want to earn more than their wives. This clearly becomes an issue of self-esteem and ego. Please understand that you canโ€™t derive your sense of self from money. Many men think being a man is all about bringing in money. It takes a lot more than that to be a real man. Different things make a man. They include the ability to provide, lead, protect, nurture and love. Men you have to bring more to the table than just money to be an exemplary head of your household. So stop being hung up on money alone. (B) Letโ€™s go to Culture. In the past women were touted as the homemakers while men barely lifted a finger in their homes. What men didnโ€™t understand is that being a homemaker is a very marketable skill! A good homemaker is likely to be very skilled in people and money management, multi-tasking, negotiation skills, etc. Youโ€™d think that keeping a woman in the house would incapacitate her in the business terrain but youโ€™d be wrong! Women develop the soft skills required for top-tier management quite early in life! Coupled with formal education, a woman who truly wants to succeed in business is a force to reckon with. Perhaps we should take a look at how we raise our sons these days. We might just be doing them a disservice! (C) Letโ€™s discuss Acceptance. As a man, I understand oneโ€™s ego can take a pounding if your wife earns more. Single men dating ladies that earn more often vow to themselves that they'll turn the financial tables around before they get married or shortly after. Like it or not, this doesnโ€™t always happen. Sometimes a womanโ€™s gift will shoot her to the peak of her profession. What will you do? Will you kill yourself trying to earn more? Will you resent her success or do the mature and supportive thing and accept it? I have come to know a certain truth. As much as it might be your preference, who earns more in your relationship is not your call. I will repeat this. It is not your call to determine who earns more in this life. Everyone has a race to run. God has blessed everyone with a unique gift. You cannot determine the extent of another personโ€™s potential. If you can't cope with a successful lady you actually have a problem with self-esteem which is not her problem; itโ€™s yours. Single guys, when you court a lady, look beyond her hips, lips and fingertips and determine her inner โ€˜horsepowerโ€™. Can you envision whom she is likely to be if all things work out for her good? Will you be intimidated by her success? There are ladies who are incredibly brilliant, driven and ambitious. You can tell they are loaded from the onset. Such people tend to have a light shine on them and often end up in the public eye doing great things. You shouldnโ€™t marry someone like that and try to cap her โ€ฆ you will kill her spirit, kill the marriage or kill yourself. Remember that your wife also wants to die empty. Your responsibility as a husband is to give her wings to fly. Be a real man, a secure man. Manage your ego and support her. Now if this is difficult for you to stomach, please donโ€™t marry her. In your house, everyone should be a cheerleader urging each one to victory. If you know you've the tendency to be jealous of peopleโ€™s progress or be competitive, marry wisely. More importantly, deal with this weakness. Itโ€™s a bad one & reeks of emotional immaturity. (D) Finally- Attitude. Sometimes the husbands try to be supportive but the attitudes of the wives make it very hard. I have already addressed the men on attitude and the need to build their self-confidence and be supportive of their wives, but now Iโ€™ll speak to the wives. To the women: Do you lord the fact that you earn more over your husband? Do you seize the reins and make the big decisions? If you keep cutting down your husband because you earn more money, you pull down your home with your hands. Please donโ€™t get it twisted. The man remains the head of the home. Donโ€™t let money or your position at work get to your head. Pride is unattractive in anyone and that includes you. Cultivate a gentle, quiet and humble spirit. Itโ€™s important to note that money or wealth will always amplify who you really are. If you are compassionate and respectful you will continue to be so regardless of the money you make. If you are crass, rude and disloyal, money will make that more apparent and cause problems in the home. Remember that marriage is a partnership. Your success is really โ€œour successโ€. His support helped you become successful. Even if he has not been supportive still carry your blessing with decorum and donโ€™t disrespect him. Remember the blessing comes from God. A woman that sees Godโ€™s perspective when it comes to the marriage institution will not misbehave when blessed. God has chosen to bless your family through you. Be humbled by the blessing and obedient to Godโ€™s order. To both man and wife: keep praying for each otherโ€™s success. Both of you should do your best, no one taking advantage of the other. Keep aspiring to get better and more productive. Keep pushing the limits and be the best you can be. God will cause joy to fill your home. I hope this has been helpful to you. I will be back next week with another topic. Until then, thanks for following and retweeting. May your marriages and relationships be sweet! #MrMrsBetterHalf

IS IT ADVISABLE TO MARRY A WOMAN WHO IS MORE CAREER-DRIVEN THAN YOU? Hello, friends. Welcome to another episode of Mr & Mrs Better Half. It is designed to strengthen marriages and relationships that will lead to marriage, with wisdom from God's Word. Sometimes ago, I asked some friends, โ€˜what do you think causes major friction in a marriage?โ€™ One of the answers was money. On further probing, we got into one of the big money issues: โ€œFinances are often problematic when the wife earns more.โ€ A follow-up question: Since few earn millions on their 1st job, how did these women build their finances to surpass their husbandsโ€™? Again, we hit another interesting note- โ€˜some women are too ambitious! If they would just โ€˜chillโ€™ things would be okay.โ€™ This statement threw up so many questions. Should a wife deliberately go for a low-paying job to avoid earning more than her husband? Should she also perform poorly to ensure she doesnโ€™t get promoted? If sheโ€™s offered a raise, should she refuse? Of course, these things sound silly but these are actual options some couples have considered in their homes to preserve the peace. Sometimes, the man actually starts out earning more but calamity strikes and his business/career goes downhill. So the once โ€˜balancedโ€™ household turns upside down because the woman now pulls most of the financial weight. The big question you should ask is this. โ€˜Why should money (something so many seem to be chasing) which should make life easier become the very thing that can cause unhappiness? There are 4 things I would like you to consider today- Changing times, Culture, Acceptance and Attitude. A) Changing Times: Men, the days when women in the workplace were oddities have since gone. With advancements in technology, many of the more physical jobs have been taken over by machines. This means that thereโ€™s no reason women should be sidelined on the grounds of being physically weaker than men. This coupled with the realization of a womanโ€™s right to express her intelligence means the world has made much progress where women in the workplace are concerned. Today there is hardly any industry where you will not find women doing remarkable things. As a result, it is not uncommon for husbands & wives to earn similar salaries or have the wives even bringing more. The truth is that most men like the added household income- who wouldnโ€™t? The only thing is that they just want to earn more than their wives. This clearly becomes an issue of self-esteem and ego. Please understand that you canโ€™t derive your sense of self from money. Many men think being a man is all about bringing in money. It takes a lot more than that to be a real man. Different things make a man. They include the ability to provide, lead, protect, nurture and love. Men you have to bring more to the table than just money to be an exemplary head of your household. So stop being hung up on money alone. (B) Letโ€™s go to Culture. In the past women were touted as the homemakers while men barely lifted a finger in their homes. What men didnโ€™t understand is that being a homemaker is a very marketable skill! A good homemaker is likely to be very skilled in people and money management, multi-tasking, negotiation skills, etc. Youโ€™d think that keeping a woman in the house would incapacitate her in the business terrain but youโ€™d be wrong! Women develop the soft skills required for top-tier management quite early in life! Coupled with formal education, a woman who truly wants to succeed in business is a force to reckon with. Perhaps we should take a look at how we raise our sons these days. We might just be doing them a disservice! (C) Letโ€™s discuss Acceptance. As a man, I understand oneโ€™s ego can take a pounding if your wife earns more. Single men dating ladies that earn more often vow to themselves that they'll turn the financial tables around before they get married or shortly after. Like it or not, this doesnโ€™t always happen. Sometimes a womanโ€™s gift will shoot her to the peak of her profession. What will you do? Will you kill yourself trying to earn more? Will you resent her success or do the mature and supportive thing and accept it? I have come to know a certain truth. As much as it might be your preference, who earns more in your relationship is not your call. I will repeat this. It is not your call to determine who earns more in this life. Everyone has a race to run. God has blessed everyone with a unique gift. You cannot determine the extent of another personโ€™s potential. If you can't cope with a successful lady you actually have a problem with self-esteem which is not her problem; itโ€™s yours. Single guys, when you court a lady, look beyond her hips, lips and fingertips and determine her inner โ€˜horsepowerโ€™. Can you envision whom she is likely to be if all things work out for her good? Will you be intimidated by her success? There are ladies who are incredibly brilliant, driven and ambitious. You can tell they are loaded from the onset. Such people tend to have a light shine on them and often end up in the public eye doing great things. You shouldnโ€™t marry someone like that and try to cap her โ€ฆ you will kill her spirit, kill the marriage or kill yourself. Remember that your wife also wants to die empty. Your responsibility as a husband is to give her wings to fly. Be a real man, a secure man. Manage your ego and support her. Now if this is difficult for you to stomach, please donโ€™t marry her. In your house, everyone should be a cheerleader urging each one to victory. If you know you've the tendency to be jealous of peopleโ€™s progress or be competitive, marry wisely.

They have not recognised how far the debating ground of British politics has moved to the left over the last thirty years. Where the left stood yesterday, the centre stands today. Yet the British people haven't moved with it. Instinctively they know that we have to pull this country back to the real centre again. But the anxious say to us, โ€œYou really cannot do everything at once. The recession and the international economic situation make things particularly difficult. Why not adapt your approach a little, give in for the time being, till things are getting better and then you can start again after the election, next election when you have longer time to do it?โ€ Mr. President, to do that would be a betrayal. People in Britain have grown to understand that this government will make no false promises, nor will it fail in its resolve. How can a government urge the people to save and build for tomorrow if the people know that that same government is willing to bend and trim for the sake of votes today? That's not trusting the people, and it is not the way to be trusted by them. Nothing could be more damaging to our prospects as a nation if this government were to throw away the reputation it has earned for constancy and resolve. It would throw away three years of hard-won achievement. On what moral basis would we be entitled to ask for the nation's support next time? Mr. President, the only way we can achieve great things for Britain is by asking great things of Britain. We will not disguise our purpose, nor betray our principles. We will do what must be done. We will tell the people the truth and the people will be our judge.

The book "Excellent Advice for Living" is so good I read it in one sitting. The book is a collection of maxims Kevin Kelly wrote to his adult children. Each maxim contains a bit of wisdom he wish he'd known earlier. 79 maxims that resonated the most (I added #57 selfishly) 1. Choose to believe that the entire universe is conspiring behind your back to make you a success. 2. Mastering the view through the eyes of others will unlock many doors. 3. If you can avoid seeking the approval of others your power is limitless. 4. The reward for good work is more work. 5. Donโ€™t be the best. Be the only. 6. The urgent is a tyrant. The important should be your king. 7. Find smart people who will disagree with you. 8. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. 9. The most counterintuitive truth of the universe is that the more you give to others the more you'll get. 10. Life gets better as you replace transactions with relationships. 11. Courtesy costs nothing. 12. Life lessons will be presented to you in the order they are needed. 13. Cultivate an allergy to average. 14. If you repeated what you did today 365 more times would you be where you want to be next year? 15. If you're alive that means you still have lessons to learn. 16. Master something. Through mastery of one thing you'll command a viewpoint to steadily find where your bliss is. 17. Trust is earned in drops and lost in buckets. 18. First, always ask for what you want. Works in relationships, business, life. 19. If nobody else does what you do you won't need a resume. 20. How to apologize: quickly, specifically, sincerely. 21. The best way to advise people is to find out what they really want to do and then advise them to do it. 22. It is certain that 99% of the stuff you are anxious about won't happen. 23. What is important is not what happened to you but what you did about what happened to you. 24. Your golden ticket is being able to see things from other people's point of view. 25. Pay attention to who you are around when you feel best. Be with them more often. 26. To get your message across follow this formula: simplify, simplify, simplify, then exaggerate. 27. You will thrive more when you promote what you love rather than bash what you hate. 28. To be interesting just tell your own story with uncommon honesty. 29. When you truly think for yourself your conclusions will not be predictable. 30. Donโ€™t measure your life with someone elseโ€™s ruler. 31. For maximum results focus on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest problems. 32. Pay attention to what you pay attention to. 33. Do more of what looks like work to others but is play for you. 34. Don't bother fighting the old just build the new. 35. Don't compare your inside to someone else's outside. 36. When you're stuck explain your problem to others. 37. Most stories are improved significantly if you delete the first page. Start with the action. 38. A long game will compound small gains that will be able to overcome even big mistakes. 39. Constantly search for overlapping areas of agreement and dwell there. 40. It is your destiny to work on things that only you can do. 41. Make stuff that is good for people to have. 42. You'll get 10 times better results by elevating good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. 43. Life is not a straight line for anyone. 44. Aim for tasks that you never want to stop doing. 45. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks, and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. 46. Don't mistake a clear view of the future for a short distance. 47. Efficiency is highly overrated 48. Greatness is incompatible with optimizing in the short term. 49. The greatest teacher is called "doing." 50. Figure out what time of day you are most productive and protect that time period. 51. You are much better off delivering unwelcome news to someone yourself directly. 52. Don't ever work for someone you don't want to become. 53. Take one simple thing โ€” almost anything โ€” but take it extremely seriously as if it is the only thing in the world 54. Be frugal in all things except in your passions. 55. About 99% of the time the right time is right now. 56. Finite games are played to win or lose. Infinite games are played to keep the game going. Seek out infinite games because they yield unlimited rewards. 57. To be remarkable, read books. 58. Be a good ancestor. Do something a future generation will thank you for. 59. Bad things can happen fast but almost all good things happen slowly. 60. To transcend the influence of your heroes copy them shamelessly like a student until you get them out of your system. That is the way of all masters. 61. Don't worry how or where you begin. As long as you keep moving, your success will arrive far from where you start. 62. It is much easier to change how you think by changing your behavior, than it is to change your behavior by changing how you think. Act out the change you seek. 63. If you meet a jerk, ignore them. If you meet jerks everywhere every day, look deeper into yourself 64. Writing down one thing you are grateful each day is the cheapest possible therapy ever. 65. Ignore what others may be thinking of you because they aren't thinking of you. 66. Passion, persistence, belief, and ingenuity are required to invent new things. Qualities the poor and young often have in abundance. Stay hungry. 67. Calm is contagious. 68. When crises strike don't waste them. No problems, no progress. 69. Your purpose is to discover your purpose. This is not a paradox. This is the way. 70. Your passions should fit you exactly but your purpose in life should exceed you. 71. Fear makes people do stupid things. 72. When someone is nasty, hateful, or mean toward you treat their behavior like an affliction or illness they have. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict. 73. You don't need more time because you already have all the time you will ever get; you need more focus. 74. Compliment people behind their back. It'll come back to you. 75. Expand your mind by thinking with your feet on a walk or with your hand in a notebook. Think outside your brain. 76. Gratitude will unlock all other virtues. 77. You choose to be lucky by believing that any setbacks are just temporary. 78. It is useful to organize your thoughts with someone you trust and admire. 79. Over the long term the future is decided by optimists. To be an optimist you don't have to ignore the multitude of problems we create; you just imagine how much our ability to solve problems improves.

Two days before Thanksgiving in 2008, I lost my father suddenly. He was here one day and gone the next, right on the eve of a holiday about gratitude and family. Itโ€™s hard to describe what that kind of loss feels like, especially at a time when everyone else is celebrating. Even now, 17 years later, the pain never fully goes away. Thanksgiving has never been the same for me since then โ€“ itโ€™s a bittersweet mix of warmth and an ache of absence. I miss him every day, and Iโ€™d give anything for one more hug or one more conversation. I know that many people have complex relationships with their fathers. Not every father-child relationship fits the Hallmark card image โ€“ there can be misunderstandings, distance, or old wounds. But as Iโ€™ve grown older, Iโ€™ve come to realize a universal truth about dads: all fathers ultimately want their children to be stronger than they areโ€”or were. My own father, an Egyptian immigrant who built a life from nothing, always pushed me to be better. He wanted me to learn from his mistakes, to exceed his accomplishments, and to stand on my own two feet with even more strength than he had. Even if your father didnโ€™t always show it in words or hugs, I truly believe that deep down every dad hopes to see their child grow into someone stronger, wiser, and better than himself. If youโ€™re fortunate enough to still have your father in your life, I have a heartfelt request: put aside whatever differences you might have, and hug your dad while you still can. Life is too unpredictable, and time has a way of slipping by faster than we think. Whatever conflicts or grudges that may exist, they pale in comparison to the bond you share and the limited time you have together. So this Thanksgiving, or the next chance you get, take a moment to tell your father you appreciate him. Swallow the pride, make that phone call, drive that distance, do what it takes. Because you will never regret giving your dad an extra tight hug or saying โ€œI love youโ€ now โ€“ but you might deeply regret it if you wait until itโ€™s too late. Hold your loved ones close, and give thanks for the time you have with them. I encourage you to treasure your father if you still can, as I continue to honor the memory of mine. Put aside the differences, share a warm embrace, and let gratitude and love fill the space between you. I wrote the attached song for him. For those who have lost a loved one, I hope it helps you find peace. Happy Thanksgiving, Michael A. Gayed, CFA

Even if your father didnโ€™t always show it in words or hugs, I truly believe that deep down every dad hopes to see their child grow into someone stronger, wiser, and better than himself. If youโ€™re fortunate enough to still have your father in your life, I have a heartfelt request: put aside whatever differences you might have, and hug your dad while you still can. Life is too unpredictable, and time has a way of slipping by faster than we think. Whatever conflicts or grudges that may exist, they pale in comparison to the bond you share and the limited time you have together. So this Thanksgiving, or the next chance you get, take a moment to tell your father you appreciate him. Swallow the pride, make that phone call, drive that distance, do what it takes. Because you will never regret giving your dad an extra tight hug or saying โ€œI love youโ€ now โ€“ but you might deeply regret it if you wait until itโ€™s too late. Hold your loved ones close, and give thanks for the time you have with them. I encourage you to treasure your father if you still can, as I continue to honor the memory of mine. Put aside the differences, share a warm embrace, and let gratitude and love fill the space between you. I wrote the attached song for him. For those who have lost a loved one, I hope it helps you find peace. Happy Thanksgiving, Michael A. Gayed, CFA

So you were able to rally round and repair your phone then during this period your partner whoโ€™s suppose to get married to you travelled to Abuja for a work then after you were able to fix your phone he came back and call you that you should come over then when you get his place, you noticed that he came back with two suitcase and because he travelled with only one. When you opened the new suitcase because he was trying to sort out the things that he bought and youโ€™re seeing designer things and youโ€™re just hailing him that the things he bought are looking fine o and he casually said that the purse youโ€™re holding his 1.5million so when you did your calculations you noticed that the things he bought was more than 7million naira, and this was the same person you asked for 450k or even half of the money so that you can get your phone repaired and he said he doesnโ€™t have any money. You got offended but you locked up then after like two days you asked him about the money that you borrowed money and you need to pay the people back and he started with his normal tales that he has no money and you said that okay no problem then you went back to your house. During the weekend normally you go to your babes house so when you got to his place he told you there was no soup or stew that you need to cook so you gave him a list and there is a drawer beside you then you opened it,you saw bundle of cash in the drawer and with a rough estimate you were about to count his up to 400k and when you told him about the amount for the food he didnโ€™t even price it, he just gave you the money. After cooking for him th en you reminded him about the money you used to repair your phone that even if it is 190k but he told her to hold on that he will give you next week. The next week you called your partner again and he said you should wait till Friday. On Wednesday evening, he called you that his friend is hosting a party and he wants you to go with him and sent you 75 k to get something to wear. At the party your partner was spraying money and getting hyped. He then gave you one bundle that you should spray the celebrant which you did,in your head he was going to give you the money to pay people that youโ€™re owing. Friday comes and he didnโ€™t say anything about it. At that point you were already p!ssed and when he called you raised your voice at him that you donโ€™t mean anything to him then he said youโ€™re disrespectful person and he ended the call. So base on you were angry you also didnโ€™t call and hustle for the money then after like 5 days in your head you already broke up with the guy.

With his big spending and big immigration policies, Albanese's Labor government has ensured that more rate increases will occur. Forget the excuses and the spin, when your mortgage payments rise next time, blame Albanese. The sheer scale of immigration we have seen so far is shocking. We are expecting more than 500,000 new migrants this year alone. This is unsustainable, reckless, and deeply irresponsible. Had Albanese announced, prior to the election, that he intended to raise immigration to over 500,000 a year in his first year in office, he would not be Prime Minister today. The Australian people do not want this. Albanese could rectify this situation tomorrow, but he refuses to do so. A responsible government would adopt One Nation's policy of net-zero immigration and raise the requirements for Australian citizenship. Australians deserve a responsible and sustainable immigration policy that benefits everyday Aussies because right now the only ones benefiting from Labor's immigration are the government and giant corporations. You and your family deserve better than the disregard for your quality of life displayed by Albanese's Labor Government.

Peter Ssematimba was earning over 50 million UGX in his mid 30s as radio manager 30 years ago. And today, radio managers earn 1.5 million UGX. This just got me thinking. You donโ€™t get paid for efforts. You get paid for how hard you are to replace. A guy that is working 80 hours a week in Owino market makes less than a guy that works on his laptop for 20 hours a week. It is because the guy who works in Owino market can be replaced by tomorrow afternoon. When his boss advertises the vacancy, over 200 applications will come in the next day. But the guy with specific skill sets, a specific network and specific knowledge that took years to build, canโ€™t be replaced as easy. Such a guy sets his price and the market pays it. This is what no one teaches us in school. They only teach us to work hard, show up early, stay late, hustle, grind, but they never teach us the one thing that actually determines our income. How easy or how difficult it is to find another you is what determines your income. This is broken down further in these three levels; Commodity: When you do what everyone else can do, you compete on hours and effort. Your income typically has a ceiling. Specialists: Here you have a skill that takes sometime to develop. Your income goes up, but you are still trading time. Irreplaceable: You do what almost nobody can do in the combination that you offer. At this level, you stop chasing money. Money starts chasing you. Be honest, how many people do you think can replace you by Monday?

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be. But it has torn me up. Statistically we have spent 90% of all the time we ever will together. I am sad because I know I made a lot of mistakes during this time. Mainly, I was too hard on him because he was the oldest, and he was a boy. I was the oldest, and a son in my family. I repeated some mistakes that were made with me. Even though I was convinced I would do a better job. I spanked him. I used unkind and hurtful words when I thought he fell short. Things that I have learned cause more harm than good. Things I wish I could take back. Basically I was just too damn hard on him. I have learned and (I hope) improved as a father. Which benefits his little sister and brother. I wrote him a long letter before he left. I told him how proud I am of him, tried to give him some words of wisdom, but also apologized for not always being a great dad. I told him I wanted to be the greatest dad in the world, but I didnโ€™t always know how. I explained how I was brought up, and my father was brought up, and that I had brought some stuff along as a dad that I hope he is smart enough to leave behind when he is a dad. I know my grandfather had it ROUGH. My dad had it a bit less ROUGH. I had it by comparison better, and my son did too. However I could have and should have done a better job in my link of this chain of fatherhood. I am confident my son will do better when it is his turn. To the dads out there, especially with your oldest sonโ€ฆtry not to be so hard on him. He doesnโ€™t need to feel the weight of all of your expectations of a family lineage, he doesnโ€™t need to be made into a clone of you, he doesnโ€™t have to be made ready to be your โ€œsuccessorโ€. Watch how you discipline himโ€ฆthink very carefully about what you are trying to do and what the expected results will be. He just needs to be a good man and to be happy. And you need to keep a good relationship with him.

Jordan Peterson just named the one thing no machine will ever possess. Not intelligence. Not logic. Not processing power. A ghost. Peterson reached back to Carl Jung to describe something most people never slow down long enough to feel. You are not just the person sitting here reading this. You are every version of yourself that could ever exist across time. Peterson: โ€œThe Self is everything you are and everything you could be across time.โ€ There is a version of you that fulfilled every ounce of potential you carry. The finished version. The one standing at the far end of your life who became everything you were built to become. That version is not a fantasy. It is a gravitational field. And it has been speaking to you your entire life. Not through words. Not through logic. Through the feeling of meaning. Peterson: โ€œThe answer is through the instinct of meaning.โ€ When something resonates so deep it stops you mid-step and you cannot explain why. That is not a chemical accident. That is your future self reaching backward through time whispering where to walk next. Peterson: โ€œThat which you could be tells you where to walk by making that path meaningful.โ€ Your potential is not quiet. It is dragging you forward every single day through a language older than speech. Now look at what we are building. Machines designed to optimize every human decision. Career paths. Schedules. Relationships. Health. Creativity. The algorithm will map the most efficient route to any destination you name. But it cannot exist across time. It has no unrealized potential. No future version of itself standing at any finish line. No ghost pulling it toward something it was meant to become. It has compute. It does not have a soul whispering directions. When you hand your choices to an algorithm you are not delegating a task. You are muting the only compass that was ever yours. Meaning is not efficient. It is not optimized. It does not care about the shortest path. Meaning requires friction. Confusion. Standing in total darkness and feeling your way forward on nothing but instinct. That is the entire point. The struggle is not the obstacle between you and your potential. The struggle is the conversation between you and your potential. Remove it and you do not arrive faster. You arrive as someone else. We are building the most powerful optimization engine in human history. And we are about to aim it directly at the one process that was never supposed to be optimized. The algorithm will hand you a perfect map. But it will never give you a reason to walk.
