Mistakenly gave some dude wrong directions then ran after him to correct myself when I figured it out. Only for him to say “don’t know if I can trust you now”

God not infrequently gives us blessings hodden behind work. Avoid the work, you miss out on the blessing. Do the work on the other hand and the blessings will flow abundantly. That favour your looking for just might be behind the work you're avoiding.
The vast majority of large companies survive purely by launching things and discovering what works by Process of Elimination.
There is no rhyme or reason -- or conviction -- in anything they do.
Ed’s always had the reputation of being one of the decent ones. The rare guy in the music industry who actually lifts people up, nurtures them and genuinely sees music as a way to inspire and bring people together. His entire vibe is wholesome and earnest, the kind of guy who believes in the power of love and all that (it’s way too kumbaya and saccharine for my tastes).
Which is what makes this whole affair so grim.
Because he should be the last person to receive so much hate and vitriol.
When he says he’s lost friends over this, the thing that jumps out to me is the really bad behavior of his “friends” in the music industry.
You know, the ones he actually invited out on his massive tour. Macklemore and the other opening acts get bigger crowds, bigger paydays and a platform most of them wouldn’t have had on their own.
First, Macklemore used Ed’s stage to make the night all about his own cause. Bro you’re the opening act, nobody is paying for those tickets to see you.
Second, after Robert Kraft and the other stadium owners made it clear the shows weren’t happening with Macklemore on the bill, what did he do? He threw his “friend” under the bus.
The decent move would’ve been for Macklemore to say to the public, “this wasn’t Ed’s fault. Don’t turn him into the villain.”
Instead he’s watched Ed take every arrow on social media and get churned through a full-blown media storm. He lets the climate in which activists hysterically accuse Ed of being complicit in genocide and post absurd cartoons of him personally shooting a Palestinian kid with an RPG fester and bloom.
There were lots of things Macklemore could’ve said to take some of the heat off the man who actually put him on that stage. But he didn’t.
Neither did the other openers who walked. Instead they framed it as principle and solidarity. From the outside it just looks like they took the opportunity, cashed the goodwill, and then left Ed trying to figure out how to keep the tour alive for hundreds of thousands of ticket-holders and the crew who actually depend on the tour to get paid. Ed is the one who took all the risk after all.
This dynamic reminds me of those child actors who built careers off @jk_rowling’s work and then publicly disowned her the second her views became inconvenient. These are not good people and they don’t know gratitude.
Ed’s finding out, the hard way, just how many shitty people were around him.
It’s a terrible experience to go through but in the long run, he would be all the wiser for it
A top job of a CEO is information gathering. Hard to gather that information by sitting in the office. That's why travel, conferences, networking events, etc., can be a lifeline in making you a better CEO. Been on the road over the last few weeks and learned so much stuff that's helped me connect several dots I wouldn't have otherwise. Your reminder to "get out of the building" often!
End of the day most people want a revolution,
They want either a fantasy land where they are pets to a God like AI,
or they want doom, the end of the entire rotten world system, finally its "COLLAPSE!"
They don't want to be told that they'll still have to go to work on Monday in ten years,
that politics will remain messy and human driven,
and that ultimately humanity will continue to construct ever more elaborate and all consuming status systems even with new technologies,
that sounds depressing to many.
But for those of us content to live in the real world, its the true liberation.
