Hi I’m Kevin! 👋 welcome to my thought bubbles.

[Christopher Voss @fbinegotiator]

The fastest way to ruin your relationships is to say everything that's on your mind with no filter, and never pause when you feel an emotion. React immediately, and you'll find yourself burning bridges faster than you can build them. When you feel the surge of anger rising or frustration building, and you immediately launch into whatever cutting remark comes to mind, you're essentially treating the people in your life as emotional punching bags rather than humans deserving of consideration. Your relationships become battlegrounds rather than sanctuaries.

Your unfiltered reactions often reflect more about your momentary state than the actual situation at hand. When you blurt out "You never listen to me!" or "You always do this!" in the heat of the moment, you're not communicating effectively—you're weaponizing your emotions. The people who care about you begin to withdraw, creating emotional distance as a form of self-protection against your verbal tsunamis.

Remember those “strong” May & June jobs numbers?
Turns out they were made of smoke:
•June: 147K ➡️ 14K
•May: 144K ➡️ 19K
That’s a quarter‑million jobs vanished.
📉 The labor market wasn’t hot — the data just hadn’t caught up. #JobsReport

Instead of the Great Depression, with current interest rates, inflation, asset prices & job data - it seems like the name for this era would be “The Great Squeeze”

As boring as it sounds, I’m slowly realizing that 90% of success is doing the obvious thing for a painfully long amount of time without convincing yourself you’re smarter than you are.
