When I tell others, they seem to find them useful.
Ikigai - look it up
Pay, Play, Passion and Purpose - a ‘Structured Thought’ Model
Collect and Curate, Connect and Communicate - think Gladwell’s Tipping Point (Maven, Networker and Communicator).
Core and Context - think Moore - but then add a touch of Structured Thought with a dash of #PeopleFirst

🔗 The Biggest Industry in Every State, Mapped
Makes for an interesting read .. and then I saw that Real Estate was the biggest industry in California .. and I thought wait .. there’s tech, entertainment, aerospace, agriculture .. real estate out performs them all?
And then I read …
This is largely because the Bureau of Economic Analysis treats homeowners as landlords renting to themselves, and includes the rental value in GDP. If economists did not include this value, a jump in the homeownership rate would cause GDP to drop.
Talk about measuring the wrong things!

The corporate obsession with transformation is outdated - and continues to fail. Decades of data show most efforts don’t work, so rather than chasing grand, one-time overhauls, organisations must embrace continuous adaptation: flexible structures, people-first strategies, and real-time responses to shifting markets and needs. Change isn’t a ‘one-and-done’ project, it’s a lifetime commitment. Stop transforming. Start adapting. That’s the edge. That’s survival.
This post is extracted from something I received from my friend 🔗 Randall Rospond - over on Maui.
He writes …
I first became aware of this song in 1989 when I purchased the cassette of Jackson Browne’s ‘World in Motion’ … and it spoke to me deeply then and has throughout the years.
It speaks to me more these days in the midst of America’s great lying disaster in the White House and the ruin of what I believed the USA had always ‘tried’ to stand for. Freedom. The song was written by Little Steven … and released on his Disciples of Soul album 1984. With this … I pray some sanity , rule of law , integrity , honesty and compassion return to America and the world … asap. … peace and aloha Randall
