I gave a talk at the Canadian Beer Awards & Conference last month in Hamilton. If you’d like a copy of the deck, please message me. Happy to talk about how I can help you and your business. #craftbeercanada
For the record.
Yes the Baby is being thrown out with the bath water.
Markets are behaving as if AI is a universal wrecking ball, when in reality it is mostly a universal productivity engine.
Panic selling on the premise that “AI will destroy every industry” ignores two basic facts: almost all AI value shows up as cheaper, better output for operators, and most sectors compete on cost, quality, and speed, not on preserving today’s headcount or workflow. The idea that banks, manufacturers, retailers, hospitals, and logistics firms will all be structurally worse off because they can do more with less is logically backwards.
The real risk is not that AI obliterates every business model, but that value migrates within each sector—from laggards to adopters, from shallow point solutions to deep platforms, from manual processes to AI‑native operators.
Selling “the market” indiscriminately because “AI disruption” is coming is like dumping every company in the 1990s because the spreadsheet made accountants faster; it confuses a shift in winners and margins with an apocalypse.
Investors: JPMorgan says Venezuela has largest oil reserves
JPM: That comes from an OPEC report
OPEC: Our members self-report. Ask Venezuela
Venezuela: We get that from PDVSA
PDVSA: Hugo Chavez told us years ago to report that for prestige & now we'd look bad if we lowered it
@rolandparis@globeandmail Good essay. IMO the military threats are coming from the same types of regimes that are interfering in our politics. Thoughts on enhancing our intelligence capabilities to deal with foreign interference and tying with rebuilding the military to enhance public support for both?
@nspector4 The part that I am having trouble understanding is why the Biden camp decided that it was a good idea to debate Trump so early in the election cycle. Suspect that their internal numbers were telling them they needed to do something to shake up the race because they are behind.
@gcntweet Greetings from Canada! Love your show. Wondering if you have done or could do an episode on how to avoid getting upper respiratory tract infections when ramping up training. Lots of evidence that this is a real problem for cyclists, me included!
@FoodProfessor I gave a talk on consolidation in the industry at the Canadian Beer Awards and Conference in Hamilton last month and would be delighted to share my deck for the presentation. Please message me if you are interested!
