Thank you Kathleen! AND, I stayed employed, lol! I remember being in the breakroom absolutely crushed on the verge of tears and a manager came in to chat with me and recognized it was a mistake and tried to make me feel better. Another employee, a good person, came in joking along the lines of, “Well, who really messed this one up?” The…[Read more]

Wow! I LOVE it! It’s easy to look at “Karen” or a “Permit Patty” and immediately denouce their behavior, however I think you touched on a really great perspective in analyzing the root of the behavior and how we can react to it from a business professional lens. Thank you for the post James!

Great article Aja and I just learned something new, lol! I’d never heard of the first two, introduced to us in class, let alone Hoshin, though, I am familiar with the phrase, “pulling the Andon cord” when someone needs to raise the alarm. I guess I can see it somewhat in my business but in a slightly different application. For example, I am…[Read more]

Thank you for your comments, Justin! It’s always very humbling to me when I think about the amount of innovation and change our Senior community has seen in their lifetime. Many of our younger generations have never seen a payphone or a Blockbusters in person or can imagine a time when their network, friends and family, aren’t immediately…[Read more]

Spot-on Nick! This article is intended to be first of many and you hit the nail on the end with the possibilities. Those members of the aged population, given the choice, cherish their independence, true, but there’s nothing wrong with little helpers in the form of technology. Imagine a world where that same Pillpack has a connection to the…[Read more]

I think if a true disruptor in this space wants to hit pay dirt, they should target the niche of folks with disposable income that would like to be handheld with it’s education; a blockchain Personal Financial Analyst.

Agreed. 100%. Blockchain sounding “cool” and “hip” is not quite enough reason to forecast that it will take over the world. Maybe there are folks that have been playing around in the space since inception or maybe it makes sense to a finance professional, but the average joe doesn’t necessarily get this and moreover; it’s messing with my money!

I totally love this article given the conversation we’ve had recently with an industry professional. I feel like set-top box cable and it’s style of programming is going away along the lines of the public payphone. I also find James’ comments interesting because it reminds me of the whole hooplah of the 90s and music royalties for those artists.…[Read more]

Very cool, thanks!!

Living in Chicago, I know EXACTLY the social and emotional toll this can take on someone. On one hand, I feel hopeless at the inability to help one, on the other, I’ve met with a fair amount of folks that take advantage of this sentiment. I always told my mom there is more than one way to reach into your wallet in front of stranger to pull out a…[Read more]

Thank you, James, for this article. I am with Katie in that I laughed and cried a bit. Your writing style is very entertaining and you turned that into an edutainment! I have a coworker that would give me an early morning report daily, with MY coffee on what HIS Bitcoin were doing back in 2018. I would have the same internal dilemna about…[Read more]
