Elon Musk And The Super Alluring Dream For A ‘Super App’
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin F or Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter to work out as he’d like, Musk must find some way to supersize the company. Its business is long-undersized compared to the platform’s presence in culture and politics. As a model, Musk has set at least some sights on the original so-called super app, WeChat, which is owned by China-based Tencent. In Musk’s first town hall meeting with Twitter employees last week, he directly mentioned WeChat, indicating that building something like it would further his broader goal of nearly quintupling Twitter’s user base to a billion people. “There’s no WeChat equivalent out of China,” he said at the meeting. “There’s a real opportunity to create that.” Much of what Musk says can seem outlandish. (At the meeting, he also discussed the possibility of alien life.) But his thinking about WeChat isn’t, though it is not especially novel. WeChat’s success has tantalized many a Silicon Valley mogul; … [Read more...] about Elon Musk And The Super Alluring Dream For A ‘Super App’
LongTail Rally 2.0: More Cars, More Adventures, More Chills And Thrills
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Just over 13 months after the inaugural LongTail Rally of 2021, rally organizers kicked off the second LongTail Rally amidst the stunning skyline of San Francisco. Gathering at the Fairmont Hotel on Mason Street for the opening dinner, and culminating at the Hyatt Regency, Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona one week later, this year’s rally involved more participants, covered more miles and included even more adventures. Rally organizers Michael Knapp and Julie Milne didn’t need to up their game after the celebrated reaction to the first LongTail Rally, but they kicked things up a notch nonetheless. Where last year’s rally included a trip to BMW’s driving school in Thermal, California, and a visit to Speed Vegas outside Sin City, this year’s drive crossed far more state lines and included off-road safaris, high-altitude tests of man and machine, plus a massive 110-degree pool party and a marriage proposal.

3 steps to build a solid career road map
The Great Resignation has changed the balance of power for employers and employees in every industry. advertisement advertisement Of course it’s completely understandable that younger employees would take this opportunity to find jobs with the best financial returns. However, these same professionals should put their job searches in the context of their larger career road map. Once they’ve landed at a new company, how will they move forward to build a career they can be proud of? In the short term, jumping from company to company may prove to be the most lucrative. However, this approach may limit your potential over the long term. Over the course of my career, I’ve identified three key steps that are essential to building a successful career road map both in the context of my own experiences and in the careers of those I’ve interviewed and hired.

18 Reasons You Should Consider Licensing Your Product Ideas
When I took an art class on a lark in college, I discovered how much I loved being creative. Bringing my ideas to life didn't feel like work -- far from it. The experience was downright magical. If I could do this for a living, I'd never work a day in my life, I realized. After I left, began selling my own product designs, and spent several highly informative years at the red-hot toy startup Worlds of Wonder , I developed a simple process to help me achieve my goal. I would supply companies with new product ideas. In exchange, they would do all of the heavy lifting of getting them on the shelf and pay me royalties based on units sold. I'm talking, of course, about licensing . You can think of licensing like renting. The companies I would approach already brought products to market. I had the creative ideas they needed. For me, it was the perfect partnership. After I left WOW and did some freelancing work, I began licensing my ideas and didn't stop for decades. How could … [Read more...] about 18 Reasons You Should Consider Licensing Your Product Ideas
Arianna Huffington: Putting Empathy Into Action Yet Again
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Arianna Huffington is no stranger to wanting to make the world a better place. Her empathic reputation is renown and world-class. She continually demonstrates what it means to be a leader who puts humanity first no matter the circumstances. Huffington has been busy lately developing two unique partnerships with organizations to further her humanity-first ambition. First, Huffington's organization, Thrive Global , a behavior change technology company, recently partnered with SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) and launched a mental health and wellness pledge. Huffington divulged that in concert with Johnny C. Taylor, SHRM CEO, the two of them felt very concerned that employee mental health and wellbeing services could be de-prioritized as a result of worsening economic conditions and a challenging business environment. As a result, both Thrive and SHRM partnered to institute an organizational pledge for … [Read more...] about Arianna Huffington: Putting Empathy Into Action Yet Again
LongTail Rally: 30 Supercars, 2,000 Miles, 8 Days Of Thrill, Infinite Chill
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Spending 8 days and 2,000 miles driving non-stop is either your worst nightmare or your personal state of nirvana (we’re talking “release of the soul from karmic bondage” nirvana here). Achieving that state of mind on the open highway may be putting a bit too much pressure on the road trip concept, but that didn’t stop the LongTail Rally organizers from trying. With a route that started in Laguna Beach, ended in Las Vegas, and visited Palm Springs, Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Monterey, Yosemite and Death Valley in between, I feared a triathlon-like experience after glancing at the LongTail Rally itinerary. But rally organizer Mike Knapp quickly allayed those fears. “We rarely hit the road before 11 am, and we’re always at our next night’s accommodations by 5 pm.” If you’re a car rally noob (like me), you may not know this, but most exotic car rallies are not run this way. Instead of reveling in engaging roads … [Read more...] about LongTail Rally: 30 Supercars, 2,000 Miles, 8 Days Of Thrill, Infinite Chill
