Your network is your net worth, and it’s shrinking…
You wake up, check your phone. Get work done, on your laptop. Buy your groceries, with a click. Order lunch and dinner, from an app. Watch a movie, on a screen. Go to bed, after one last scroll. ​ A day of life, and you seldom have to talk mouth hole to mouth hole. If this feels normal, that’s because it is. But normal doesn’t mean good, and the data shows we’re choosing this path more than ever. ​ • In-person socializing dropped by over 20% between 2003 to 2023, with the decline surpassing 35% for unmarried men and young adults. • 74% of restaurant traffic comes from takeout and delivery, up from 61% before the pandemic. Meanwhile, solo dining has surged 29% in just 2 years, according to OpenTable. • The typical adult buys three movie tickets a year but watches the equivalent of about 8 movies per week at home. ​ Welcome to the anti-social century where we’re losing our communities.
This is a massive, invisible tax on our well-being, success, and likely our wallets, and it’s costing us more than you think.
More drinks, fewer toasts. More binge-watching, fewer outings. More texting, less talking. For decades, we’ve optimized for convenience. Now we’re paying for it… in terms of health, wealth and mindset. ​ Community shapes who you are, who you become, and how much you can accomplish. ​ And over the next 10 years, the people who understand how to build, nurture, and leverage community are going to win big. ​ This is why I love Real Estate. I’m creating my own community. Agents. Brokers. Builders. Lawyers. Accountants… It’s fun. It’s profitable. And keeps me alive. ​ Take a look to this and tell me what you think… ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment? - Price $29.90​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Most projects fail for boring reasons.Not for lack of brains.Not for lack of money.For lack of aligned incentives. Boring, because they repeat over and over. We write 300 pages of clauses. Pay great sums to lawyers working with the best views and more expensive offices. Then we hope.And hope is not a control. You want performance?Make winning for them the same as winning for you.Make losing for them the same as losing for you. Simple. Brutal. Fair. In PPPs, I’ve seen both worlds. World A:...
I read these lines today: Choosing to do good and be kind to others is a powerful way to live. When you extend kindness, whether through a small gesture or a significant act, you ignite a spark that uplifts those around you, creating a ripple effect. This approach not only enhances others' well-being but also boosts your own happiness reminding us that even the smallest gestures can leave a lasting impact. Great cultures thrive on kindness. Agree? It’s Monday, so be kind to yourself. Learn...
It’s still surprising to me to see the weights agencies around the globe put on the people that will actually be running the PPP Project. Minimum. Still, despite evidence demonstrating the people and experience are essential ingredients to deliver a successful project, nobody is paying attention. Bad contract, bad project but great people… you have a chance. But if the people that know how to make things to happen are not there… forget about it. So agencies burn billions of dollars globally...
