@sama i think it’s about time we address the huge em dash problem with ChatGPT.
i am sick of asking it to stop — using — this — shit — and — it’s — still — doing — it.
It takes decades to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.
Think about it.
What can't you afford losing?
What/Who are you completely dependent on?
Where are you over-exposed right now, financially and in your personal life?
A 50% loss demands a 100% comeback - just to get back to where you started.
This concept is common in finance, but let's think about it other ways of life.
Most people overlook this.
Risk management is not just for investors and business owners.

They break your game entirely. Conversely, small improvements compound too, and your goal is to be better with each passing day.
In business, you can have the best idea, the best team, even the best product...
Hidden or unmanaged risk can wipe out years of progress.
Patience.
Rigorous selection.
Relentless avoidance of fatal mistakes.
Because the goal is not just to win. It’s to keep playing and improving each day.
Think of over-leveraged companies, platform risk, reputational scandals, legal blind spots.
Recovery costs are not linear.
I've always said it. Direction over speed. Survival before perfection.
@ReeceWabara Indeed a bit far fetched, but gets the point.
Elon and Trump mastered personal branding before they became icons. It wasn’t just a byproduct, it was also a launchpad.
Fame × Capital × Leverage = Power.
They played the long game in public.
@benjamincowen If you want to approach it scientifically, just use your metrics or do a poll to tell what’s better performing.
I suggest however to do whatever you like the most. Take your time to explain or sum it up quickly. Basically a mix of both.
I’ll watch the videos no matter 👍
Well said. Our brands suffer the same problems (& many more!) on Amazon.
Amazon will not be the #1 retail platform in 10 years, unless things take a drastic change now.
🇺🇸 STEVE JOBS: THE BEST MANAGERS ARE GREAT CONTRIBUTORS... WHO NEVER WANTED TO BE MANAGERS
"At Apple, we thought hiring professional managers would make us a big company.
It didn’t work—most were bozos who could manage but couldn’t do anything else.
The best managers?
Great individual contributors who never wanted the job but took it because they knew no one else could do it as well."

Today's perfection, is tomorrow's imperfection.
A cycle we must all embrace in order to continuously improve, without loss of enthusiasm
Don’t be too hard on yourself, but if you make the same mistake twice, hold yourself brutally accountable.
