Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin People often ask me, “what is Web3?” My short answer, which I elaborate on in my ‘What The Zuck’ article and keynotes , is always—you are! Why? Because the promise of Web3 flips the ownership model and gives the money and the power back to you. Social media has deteriorated in many countries—especially for women—and the tech. and media oligopolists love it. These media landlords like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter, Apple, et al. have taken control of everything we do, say, share, post and buy online—and they are not very excited about the changes Web3 can usher in to their market. Want proof? While Tik Tok’s CEO, Shou Chew, was grilled by U.S. lawmakers in Washington today—last week at SXSW, his former product head admitted this about creators: “Platforms don’t really care if you are successful…because their metrics are 100 percent focused on retention, publish rates, active days.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin After George Floyd’s May 2020 murder triggered a long overdue racial reckoning grounded in Black Lives Matter advocacy, anti-racism became a trendy workplace buzzword. Companies kicked into PR overdrive, racing to release pledges to become anti-racist insisting that non racist was not good enough. Instead, they committed to building truly anti-racist organizations willing to face hard truths , encourage difficult conversations and move toward a new level of inclusion and equity for Black professionals in particular. Fast forward almost three years and the persistent racial disparities suggest that what seemed like performative PR at the time may have actually been….performative PR. Arguably, Black professionals are the least surprised as they’ve grown quite accustomed to the predictable cycle of tragic, high publicity racial event followed by lofty executive racial justice word salad followed by performative, vague, … [Read more...] about 7 Ways To Encourage Workplace Anti-Racism, Nearly Three Years Since America’s Racial Reckoning

Conor McGregor is now a spokesman for Burger King, and his first commercial is hilarious. The Irish-born fighter is promoting the restaurant’s new spicy chicken sandwich. Who better to promote a spicy chicken sandwich than one of the most braggadocios fighters on the planet? Nobody is more qualified. Burger King signs Conor McGregor to promote its spicy chicken sandwich. pic.twitter.com/IU6xshkzmI — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) March 5, 2018 I’m honestly not even sure if they gave McGregor a script before they started shooting. Seems more likely to me that somebody just told him to pretend the sandwich was Floyd Mayweather, and then they let the camera roll. I love him shouting out all the haters at the very end of the video. Classic move from the UFC superstar. McGregor has become such a huge brand, it’s incredible. He was a nobody only a few years ago, and now he’s one of the most famous athletes on the planet. That’s what happens when you make a name for … [Read more...] about Conor McGregor’s Burger King Commercial Is Laugh-Out-Loud Funny

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin September 2000 marked a watershed moment in modern business history: it was the month that Blockbuster declined to acquire Netflix for a mere $50 million. Today, of course, Netflix has a market cap of $135B, and Blockbuster is dead and gone (notwithstanding the eponymous show currently streaming on… Netflix). For business school students, founders, investors and corporate strategists, Blockbuster offers lessons in hubris and bad company strategy: from ignoring customer preferences to the importance of shifts in technology and business models that facilitated a new basis of competition to an overleveraged capital structure. Of course, it’s easier to analyze in retrospect a definitive, highly visible and high profile train wreck of company strategy than it is to build a company up to the heights and success that Blockbuster had once achieved. It’s also easier to see how bad strategy affects established companies (who … [Read more...] about Culture Trumps Strategy In Digital Health (Except When It Doesn’t, Which Is Most Of The Time)

Things seem to have quieted down for Duterte-era tycoon Dennis Uy, with creditors settling down into a somewhat more comfortable stance, especially since many of them have, by now, already secured their multibillion-peso exposures to the businessman from Davao of late. But not everything is hunky dory, as some issues continue to unfold away from public eyes. Biz Buzz heard that the plan of billionaire Enrique Razon Jr. to invest in Uy’s casino projects—particularly the one in Cebu (along with another in Clark, Pampanga,)—will no longer happen. Recall that the deal was announced in May of last year and was supposed to be a precondition for the sale of Uy’s Malampaya stake to Razon. The deal was supposed to be something like: “I sell this to you, but you have to help me with this other problem,” we’re told. Well, word on the street is that the transaction will no longer happen after Razon’s team got a closer look at what was being offered. Whoopsie. What now? —Daxim L.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Manny Rivelo is the CEO of Forcepoint . The internet can be scary because it was “ designed without security in mind ,” said Forrester analyst David Holmes. He’s right. The digital world is crawling with hackers stealing customer data to make money. Ransomware has practically doubled, and enterprises spend months and $2.4 million on average to find and recover from each breach. In these times of rising business risk and uncertainty, strong security measures like zero trust can be a major business asset. In a zero-trust world, the first rule is trust no one and verify everything. Yet, it’s hard to know if the implementation of zero trust is effective when there are so many choices to sift through. I recommend you evaluate the strength of cyber solutions by their ability to deliver value, not by viruses blocked or endpoints scanned.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As Charlotte Flair prepares for her seventh WrestleMania, she seems to be the last person to be thinking about her track record. Despite conquering just about everything there is to conquer in women’s wrestling, including an impressive 14 world title reigns, Flair is approaching her seventh WrestleMania like her first. Similar to Jay-Z’s “My First Single,” Flair is essentially walking in with the same hunger and a cleaner slate even as she prepares for her second WrestleMania match against the rising Rhea Ripley. Ripley has caught fire as a top heel in WWE alongside nuclear heat magnet, and spoiled self-proclaimed ex-con Dominik Mysterio. Though the pair has succeeded at getting heat from a more cooperative WWE fanbase—one that is far less prone to going off script by cheering for heels amid better booking—Ripley’s long-term story arch of chasing Charlotte Flair complicates this situation. Because even though Charlotte … [Read more...] about Charlotte Flair On Why Match With Rhea Ripley Should Main Event WrestleMania 39

The Rebels, who under head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin pride themselves on defense, kept the 2021 NCAA Champions to seven points in the second quarter. “The person with the experience is at the mercy of the person with the anointing,” MCCuin said in her opening remarks during the postgame press conference. It is a saying one of her mentors shared and it felt apropos after defeating the legendary Tara Vanderveer and the Stanford Cardinal. “I told my team like, I just love them so much and I don’t want to stop having this feeling. so, who knows?
