Did you know that roughly 70% of scaleups in the U.S. decline yearly (some very publicly!) due to scaling too quickly?

It’s a daunting reality not many founders and growth executives talk about.

The right to protest and criticize the government is inalienable. No matter who you are. No matter what side you’re on. There’s no but.
Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

We hold these truths to be self-evident… that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights… among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness… whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...

We need to try harder to accept the willingness to care beyond our own self-interest. The world need us now more than ever ✊🏼

There is a kind of leadership that builds.

And there is a kind that burns everything down just to stand atop the ashes.

We are witnessing a leadership crisis. A crisis of values, of precedent, of what we will come to accept as “normal.”

It is of existential importance that we pay attention ⬇️ 1/2

Some final thoughts on today’s show… on the free press in America. The free press is only “crumbling” if we the people allow that to happen. Watch:

How do you recognize a genuinely good person?

The world urgently needs to be taken over by the kind souls, with bright lights and sincere hearts.

It’s an emergency 🚨

Not always what’s legal is ethical, what’s ethical is moral, and what’s moral is virtuous. Sound judgement comes from our ability to discern across that whole spectrum of nuance.

“Maybe you have no idea just how good you really can be? And maybe you don’t know how much you matter? But maybe, just maybe, the world has been waiting centuries for someone exactly like you. One thing is for sure, you are here. And because you are here, anything is possible.” 📚🩵 #BookSky 🦋
