@Malik_ZMB 1. FYI There was no $2.5bn lost by anyone.
If anything, we lost twice, mu Court of Arbitration namu Court of Appeals in London over this.
It all started when a ZRA found $1.4bn txn from Kansanshi to its parent company. When asked, they said, batisungilako

@EzzyFinance @FMwenge Deep competence and access to distribution.

[mwiya @mwiyas]

@FMwenge Correct. That plus the idea that ideas have inherent value whereas all the value sits in execution ability.

Never outshine people who have the authority to punish your brilliance. Talent without political sense becomes a threat, and threats get managed. Let insecure people feel taller while you build quietly. The goal is not to look superior in the moment. The goal is to keep rising.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Competence frees you from dependence; the more you can solve, build, and adapt on your own, the less leverage anyone holds over you, and in a world where control often comes from scarcity of skill, self-reliance is the highest form of strength.

Marc Andreessen on the power of relentless action:

“The world is a very malleable place. If you know what you want, and you go for it with maximum energy and drive and passion, the world will often reconfigure itself around you much more quickly and easily than you would think.”

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

It’s easy to take for granted that people are remarkable when they are familiar to you. The first time I realized my Father was brilliant was some time in university. He told me a story about how he taught himself to write code when he was an economics lecturer—so he could automate his marking and grading of student work. That was in the 80s. Automating the grading of students the likes of Mukwandi Chibesakunda, Savior Chibiya and others.

His idea of fun is reading Stephen Hawking and working through the math. He wanted to be a physicist or architect, ended up being an Economist. Writes his Journals in German. Pretty sure he could have been whatever he wanted and have done well at it. Chooses the thankless work of Public Service because he actually believes in the possibility of social flourishing.

Keep doing what you love, old boy.

Last week I was at a farm in Mkushi-went to access a tennis court-from 16-18. Between this time I saw abt 5 fully loaded trucks pass through a weigh bridge & leave the farm. Curiously, I ask, “what’s that?”

“Oh, that’s seed. We supply Seed-Co.”

It’s different out there!

[Maanda Sianga @TheYoungFarmer]

We are finally on Sumatera Island in Indonesia and today completely shifted my perspective on scale in agriculture. It was cattle Literally Everywhere

Juan Juay Feedlot left me absolutely mind blown. A feedlot carrying 24,000 head of cattle, run by 540 workers-across 187 hectares of land. Out of that, 80 hectares are dedicated to maize production and even that is nowhere near enough to feed the demand of the operation.

What fascinated me most was how data-driven the business is. The cattle are shipped in from Australia, then fattened here in Indonesia before entering the market. They don’t work with fixed selling prices, so forecasting becomes everything. Every decision is backed by market data and analysts because when you’re selling 200 cattle every single day, small market changes become massive business decisions.

A few things that stood out to me today:
• Agriculture at this scale operates more like a corporation than a traditional farm
• Feed security is one of the biggest challenges in livestock production
• Data analysis is now just as important as animal husbandry
• Indonesia’s demand for beef is creating huge opportunities across the value chain
• Logistics alone at this scale are unbelievable from importing cattle to feeding, processing, staffing and daily sales

This Global Focus Program continues to show me that agriculture is not just farming its economics, logistics, technology, people management and global trade all working together.

Still trying to process what 24,000 cattle actually looks like in real life.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

When you become competent, you gain the most underrated privilege: you stop rushing. Rushing is what insecure men do to prove they matter. Competence lets you move slowly, choose better, and stay calm while others panic. The room feels that calm and reads it as authority, because it usually is.

[Mind and Glory 🎖 @mindandglory]

An intelligent man never lets the speed of others pressure him into a pace that sacrifices the quality of what he is building.
