I peaked in 2015 when two different brothers, on separate occasions, complimented my t-shirt on the Harlem subway. No notes since.

For years, I treated sleep as a means to an end—the necessary downtime to power a high-functioning day. But lately, I’ve started to view sleep differently. Not as a performance tool to be hacked, but as a thermometer for my overall well-being.

@luisevivanco @LaPosta_Ecu Entonces hagan lo responsable y no publiquen resultados de exit poll a las 17h00. Podrían dar pie a falsas expectativas, denuncias de fraude y mucha violencia

Lo más perturbador de esta jornada electoral: la apropiación cultural de Sir Second Castle

[Felipe Cornejo @flpcornejo]

As agents and machine-generated knowledge become part of our daily workflows, traditional advantages erode as AI democratizes expertise.

In my latest piece, I shared some thoughts on why culture matters even more in creating a competitive advantage.

Quite a bit of text to describe a lifestyle business. 😅

It took me a while to fully realize the value of something my company achieved years ago, and continues to savor today. It’s one of our greatest quiet advantages, full stop.

It’s not something you hear much about in business circles. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone spend much time on the topic, or even bring it up in conversation, on a conference stage, or behind a podcast mic.

There is, however, lots of discussion about achievement in business. A company can achieve product market fit, operational efficiency, influence, revenue goals, or, ultimately — and hopefully — profitability.

But I’m not taking about those things. Those are the obvious things, the common talking points. And to those you can add the vanity metrics of achievement — social media followers, traffic, views, impressions, open rates, press mentions, gross this or gross that.

All those are what they are, but they aren’t where it’s at.

What I’m talking about is optionality. Achieving optionality is where it’s at.

Optionality is a hearty mix of profit margin, small size, independence, attitude, and freedom. You’ve got to have all of it to have optionality.

If a board is calling the shots, you don’t have much optionality. If your margins are thin, or non-existent, you don’t have much optionality. If the public owns a piece, you don’t have much optionality. If you’re too big to change direction quickly, you don’t have much optionality. And if you’re afraid to speak your mind and stake your point of view, you don’t have much optionality.

Optionality lets you do things no one would give you permission to do. It lets you write excellent software and give it away for free if you choose. It lets you do things that don’t make sense in the current climate, but will long-term. It lets you be early while eventually catches up.

Optionality is ecstasy. It’s making it up as you go, without making excuses. It’s openly changing your mind without having to save face. Optionality is equanimity, the corporate equivalent of enlightenment.

So, entrepreneurs, ditch the bullshit. Abandon growth-at-all-costs. Reject conventional metrics. Scorn hollow acceptance. Instead, hunt for optionality. It's freedom. It's power. It's everything you crave, wrapped in a single, potent package. Chase it relentlessly. And when you get it, don’t let go.

I prefer not to signal-boost deliberate ugliness, but I also prefer not to have deliberate ugliness at the Olympics, so I'll make an exception: not to be melodramatic, but I hated this performance and think it brought shame on the entire country of France.

I've always had a soft spot for the Olympics, for this grand ceremony of bringing nations and peoples together, even as mirage—to celebrate excellence and beauty and healthy competition. It's all symbolic, yes, it solves nothing fundamental—but symbolism matters.

There is a time and a place for shock art. The Olympics is not it. If you single one culture out for mockery, you remind everyone of the dog that does not bark, of the cultures your edgiest and most avant-garde artists do not dare to mock. If you lean into mockery in the only way mockery can truly work as a unifier, equal-opportunity poking at all and sundry, you remind the whole world of how fragile the mirage is.

Would the event be better with a skewering of Muhammad, of the CCP or North Korea, of a thousand small-scale sensitivities and tensions around the world? No. It would destroy the spirit of the Olympics, turn an earnest and unifying moment into the catalyst for hideous feuds. The ceremony was not edgy, it faked edginess: picking on acceptable targets and daring them to object so they could be slapped down.

Symbolism matters, and the symbolism France chose was, to quote @puheenix, "indistinguishable from the hunger games capital citizens." Garish, loud, and ugly. Excess for the sake of excess, shock (but carefully constrained shock! scandalize-your-grandparents shock, not scandalize-your-friends shock) for the sake of shock, ugliness for the sake of ugliness.

Not the time, not the place. There is no virtue in this.
