Barring getting a vaccine sooner than expected, it seems like we’re in for a longer haul than expected with this once-in-a-century pandemic. Businesses, schools and sports are probably going to be a shell of themselves until the end of the year. There is no denying the fact that we have managed this situation poorly. Americans have had it so good for so long, it possible we thought we were invincible – that we were too good for a pandemic to beat us. Hopefully, we know better by now, and for those of us who are lucky enough to make it to the other side, we need to start thinking about what is next.
Economically, the remnants of the Corona Virus recession will be with us for a lot longer than we expected. A few million businesses will go under permanently, people will travel less, more of us will work from home, and therefore, in my view, every surviving company in the world should start writing a new business plan. You can be certain that things will never be the same again. We already know that companies like Amazon, Netflix, Apple and Microsoft will emerge stronger than before the pandemic, but who else? It’s time for everyone to do more deep thinking about how your business will be affected and how you need to change. Because trust me, everyone needs to brace themselves for some serious changes. The first thing you should do is talk to your kids more about technology, the services they use, the way they communicate and how they get things done. Then we all need to go back to school and start learning again. If there was ever a time to invest in yourselves, this is the time. And please…wear a mask.
This episode was sparked by the wave of political statements made by artists and celebrities this year—and the strong reactions that followed. I explore whether celebrities should feel obligated to speak out, whether their voices actually make a difference, and how history helps us think more clearly about this debate. From civil rights to anti-war movements to today’s cultural flashpoints, this is a conversation about influence, responsibility, and the power of public pressure—not perfection. My goal isn’t to tell you what to think, but to invite a more nuanced discussion about when speech matters and how change actually happens.
Right now it feels like negativity is everywhere — in politics, media, and even within our own community. In this episode, I share why this moment calls for emotional discipline, unity, and strategic thinking. Staying positive doesn’t mean ignoring reality. It means choosing collaboration over division, focusing on wealth-building and long-term strength, and showing up for each other when it matters most. My hope is that this conversation helps you reflect on how we move forward together during challenging times.
In this episode, I share my perspective on the tragic killing of Renée Nicole Good and why moments like this demand clarity, restraint, and leadership rather than instant conclusions. We’re living in a time when emotion travels faster than facts, and division often fills the space where understanding should live. My goal here isn’t to inflame, but to add context, acknowledge pain, and encourage thoughtful reflection while the facts are still coming into focus. I hope you’ll watch with an open mind and consider what responsible leadership looks like in moments that test all of us.
