Guess what? I got let go from CD for refusing to use their VOCES software…
They abandoned it 6 months later.
Problem: not being wrong — being right too early for New Orleans organizations.

One leadership lesson: criticism is often projection. What people reproach in others can reveal their own limits, fears, or frustrations.

Financements venant du Qatar, armes provenant d'Ukraine, intérêt iranien, et soutien du Liban. La guerre, une laide et complexe réalité.

Don’t react to the action.
Decode the intention.

Behavior is noise.
Motivation is meaning.

Less outrage.
More analysis.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

We can assess any organization by how it treats its most vulnerable members.

Watch how they treat the vulnerable. That’s the culture.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

In most places, growth followed performance.
New Orleans has been the exception — more stagnation than acceleration.

Grateful for institutions like KIPP and leaders like Ms. TPF who recognized my capacity.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

When every disagreement becomes a label, dialogue dies.
Let’s move from gender camps to human principles.
Not feminist. Not masculinist.
Humanist.

New Orleans: the most famous village in the world.
Where city people feel like they’re in the countryside,
and country folks feel like they’ve arrived in a metropolis.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Like Rome, the U.S. blends military power, cultural export, religion, and spectacle. Hosting the World Cup isn’t just sport — it’s symbolic legitimacy.
Empires don’t declare themselves. They host the world.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Here’s what I’ve realized: when someone tries to pull you down, it often says more about their insecurity than your worth.

Leadership isn’t a title. It’s vision. And vision can’t be borrowed forever.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a paradox: in a majority-Black city, many krewes and floats are funded and organized by wealthy white elites, throwing mass-produced beads (often from china) to crowds of tourists. Celebration, economy, and inequality all on the same street.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Cultural progress isn’t linear. In New Orleans, gender norms are evolving—but structural racial divides persist.
Gender boundaries soften.
Racial boundaries harden.
New Orleans, 2026.

Some see Kim Kardashian’s Super Bowl appearance as an answer to Kanye West’s past Super Bowl moment.
Their post-love “fight” feels symbolic: physical cracks reframed via SKIMS; mental cracks framed in interviews about Ye’s intensity.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Kim Kardashian just launched her SKIMS × Nike collab—strong adidas × Yeezy echoes.
At the same time, an interview from Kanye West’s wife surfaces.
At what point do we admit this looks like love—repackaged as rivalry?

“Seguimos aquí”

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

In gaslighting, accusation inversion is key: the abuser denies, attacks, then plays the victim. The person calling it out becomes “the problem.” Confusion replaces accountability.

In many organizations, those who complain the fastest and loudest are often running the biggest scams.
Noise is sometimes used to hide fraud. Silence often belongs to those doing real work.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

What’s the speed of time? 24/24?
Quelle est la vitesse du temps? 24h sur 24?

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Geopolitics isn’t about who’s stronger. It’s about how you play the game.
The West plays chess—remove the king and the game ends (Maduro).
China plays Go—build position, surround space, create dependency (Taiwan, Siberia?).
Same board. Different mindsets. Different outcomes.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Grateful for the friends who stayed. Titles don’t matter—consistency does.

Real friends don’t need labels. They show up.

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

In celebrity culture, timing is strategy. Is public attention now traded like currency?
Kanye West skips the Grammy Awards weekend to perform in Mexico City.
That same week, Kim Kardashian is reportedly dating Lewis Hamilton.
Coincidence—or competing spotlights?

[Michael Paulot @PaulotMike]

Algorithmic health is the real public health question.

We debate free speech, but not algorithmic health.
Influenced? Supervised? Captured? By whom?
