Believe it or not, you're alone

Having conversation with people in their sixties and over gives you a different perspective to what’s the world today. Those people are my parents. Probably your parents too. Those people still shape our minds and thinking. And we perpetuate that mindset, at least, partially, in our children. Our parents lived a very different world. They could expect their companies to take care of them, or the states. Today companies can’t do that. The states are broke. The average life of a company in the 1950s was just over 60 years. Today it is less than 20 years. In 10-15 years time, this will be below 10… Don’t look at the debt of the states in the 50s and today, or you’ll feel sick. Our parents lived in a world where you could thrive in the corporate ladder. Today, no matter how high you are, that’s the path to fear and insecurity. Your brain is your only weapon. And trust me. You’re alone. No company, no state will save you. Just your brain. And for your brain to thrive, it needs to be filled with knowledge and the feeling of empowerment. Then, it needs do, do and do, to keep learning, and your freedom developing. ​ You can read some of that path in the stories I tell below. ​

I’ve been doing quite a lot of work these days with market lead proposals. I mean, proposals coming directly from the market and made to the government of New Zealand. I love the ideas put forward by proponent. Their enthusiasm. And commitment. Most of them fail in the “exclusivity” criteria. Why you are so good that the government absolutely needs to negotiate with you directly without going to the market. It’s fascinating. That’s a high bar, but some people get through it. IP, exclusive...
Most construction disasters happen on Mondays. Some on Fridays. But only the truly legendary ones wait for Christmas Day. New York City, 2007. Downtown Manhattan. A 40-storey office tower under construction. Skeleton up, façade almost done, 70% completed. The kind of project where everyone, owner, contractor, union, inspectors, just wants to go home and eat turkey. On the morning of December 25th, a security guard on site hears something strange: “Clank… clank… clank…” He thinks it’s a rat. A...
