The secret sauce to transform retirement participant engagement | Insurance Blog
We all procrastinate sometimes – some more skillfully than others. In Tim Urban’s talk ‘Inside the mind of a master procrastinator’ he explains how the ‘instant gratification monkey’ overrides our ‘rational decision-maker,’ making us chase what’s ‘easy’ and ‘fun’ instead of what’s necessary.  Retirement planning is neither easy nor fun, so it’s easy to see why so many of us may disengage from planning decisions far longer than we should – until it’s often too late.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Another perspective on how one can stay ahead of the AI curve. I wish I could find substantiating evidence to support this perspective though. Is the crux of the argument that tasks are but empathy is not scalable? www.entrepreneur.com/leadership/y...

REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

Trump has just hung the "now open for business sign", saying he'll do specific (tariff) favors for specific companies.

CEOs will see massive gains from lobbying, and huge costs from criticizing the White House.

It's an effective way to suppress criticism.
