My last day
|
Today is my last day at NX2. Last day. 6 years as a CEO. Why leaving? I needed a change. Yes, just like that. Bye, bye, big salary, big bonuses, big responsibilities working for others. Bye, bye… last day. I could have added a speech about my great team, our great job, our achievements, etc… but I let those things for the people that love to talk about the weather. There is a perfect time to move on, and mine was well overdue. Now, no plans. No commitments. No work. No rush. Just freedom, and many ideas in my head. Calm, and satisfaction. Even some dreams. I have been building during years my financial freedom and now it’s time to taste it as good coffee. Time with my child. Time to do a few things at home. Time to walk in the park under the sun. Time to practice some kung-fu… mental and physical. Look, when coffee is roasted it creates many chemical reactions. One of those reactions builds-up carbon dioxide. Good coffee comes in packages with one-way valves. They allow carbon-dioxide to escape without allowing oxygen into the package. Coffee reaches its peak in flavour from around 12-15 days after the roast date. Then, flavour goes down and coffee ages with exposure to oxygen. I had the time for my chemical reactions. I matured my ideas, my experience, my businesses, and now, I feel it’s my time to build something great and big. If interested, you can register your interest here.

According to constraint theory, the greatest human bottleneck is attention. Yes. Our attention is our most finite resource. Even more finite and valuable than our time. Now, think about why Meta is so valuable. And Elon wanted X. And so on… Indeed, the quality and depth of our attention determines the quality of our time. Most people’s attention is scattered, tugged, and seemingly never right here and right now. The rich know this well. In the US, the top 1% don’t allow kids to interact with...
Human emotions spread fast. Very fast. Much faster than any virus. If you go to a stadium and the home team is winning, there’s an explosion of joy. The exact opposite happens if they lose at the last minute. It’s contagious. Inevitable. If your little boy takes her first steps, the huge look of surprise and joy on his face will infect you instantly. That’s who we are. It’s our nature. You don’t need a PPP Certificate from the World Bank to understand this. So… If you spend your life watching...
According to the market research company Harris Poll, 52% of people between 16 and 26 wish social media had never been invented. Con dos c0jones. If they are not your clients or employees or colleagues now, they will be very soon. What’s this telling you? Simple. Worry less about technology and much more about experience and understanding. Most people out there are obsessed with how to implement AI, but are incapable of empathizing with their neighbor’s human pain or joy. Don’t stress about...
