Revenge of the Humanities?
Tech bros and their Patagonia vests have reigned for quite a long time in the culture of business. We’re easily past the dawn of the era when Windows 95 debuted some 30 years ago. As we know, this swept in a whole new way to organize, work, live and function in the world of work, and life. It...

Keeping it Real: The Moat is IRL, Not AI
If you live long enough, you’ll spot the patterns. Here’s one I’ve been keeping my eye on. In the 1990s the term Keeping it Real was used by many of us in the hip hop community which was lifted from African American Vernacular English. But why did this term in particular resonate? We have to…

What's in store for 2026? More turbulence. Fasten your seat belt. Icebergs ahead.

Finding the work shouldn't be harder than the work
Microsoft and LinkedIn just announced layoffs as I’m writing this. 3% of the company or over 6,000 people. This seems to now be the norm in what kicked off in February of 2023 where nothing is stable. I even underwent my own layoff like many in my own big tech job in what feels like forever ago…
