Sinking morale. Low productivity. Lots of gossip. Quiet quitting. Sloppy work. Cynicism. Talent leaving. These are all examples of “culture rot”: the slow, subtle unraveling of what made a good company good. “You can feel it before you can name it,” Tara Kermiet, a corporate burnout strategist, explained in a recent TikTok post. “It’s less about one big event, and more about the daily drift that no one claims responsibility for.” Instead of some big scandal or massive profit loss, culture rot is the gradual, subtle decay of a team’s culture. It’s fueled by bad, unaccountable leaders, and is characterized…

A decade ago, I spearheaded my organization’s strategic expansion into a new Eurasian market. Almost immediately, it became evident that our conventional playbook was inadequate. Success in this complex landscape required not just an understanding of business metrics, but a profound appreciation for cultural nuances and regional dynamics. We made a pivotal decision: We set aside our polished PowerPoint presentations and embraced a more human-centric approach. Instead of relying on formalities, we engaged in candid, face-to-face negotiations—often over a steaming cup of tea. This deliberate shift in strategy was about building genuine relationships, and it worked. By prioritizing trust and…
I remember when @SpeakerPelosi was MAGA! ?? pic.twitter.com/b6fJg63Tda — Mirthful Moments (@moment_mirthful) September 30, 2025 Hillary Clinton’s only consistent stance is that she belongs in a position of power. Her distaste for Christianity is on par with Marxist beliefs to discredit any power being higher than government. “The idea that you could turn the clock back and try to recreate a world that never was dominated by—you know, let’s say it—white men of a certain persuasion, a certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology—it’s just doing such damage to what we should be aiming for,” Clinton said.…
In the early days of the internet, collectors traded rare whiskey and wine on eBay alongside Beanie Babies and vintage sneakers. But then, in 1999, six months after closing down firearm sales, eBay announced they would ban the sale of alcohol and tobacco products as well. “As a general rule, these laws are just so complex and contradictory, that we just decided that in the best interest of our users to prevent that situation from ever occurring,” then-spokesman Kevin Pursglove said. More than 25 years later and almost a century after the end of Prohibition, the regulatory environment is no…

Curing cancer. Reducing carbon emissions. Maximizing business efficiency. To achieve all this and develop untold social goods, artificial intelligence “accelerationsts” at companies like Google, Meta, and OpenAI believe their industry has a duty to speed ahead toward superintelligence, or AI that’s far superior to humans at most tasks. Key to that revolution will be the build-out of data centers. Meanwhile, a technical transformation of the workplace already appears to be underway. The nation’s largest employer, Walmart, said that because of its AI implementation, hiring will remain flat over the next three years even if revenues rise. Every business—not just the…
There has never been a positive outcome when the government sets out to disarm the people. Authoritarian states are the inevitable result. Certain semi-automatic weapons were prohibited in March 2025, with a one-year amnesty period for lawful gun owners to surrender their rifles through a buyback program. The government claims the buyback program is completely voluntary “with the expectation they will comply,” according to Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. Anandasangaree does not believe the Canadian government is equipped to disarm citizens, as revealed in a leaked audio clip. “I just don’t think municipal police services have the resources to do…
According to the National Association of Corporate Directors, boardrooms today face a dizzying list of risks: economic volatility, geopolitical tensions, cybersecurity threats, technological disruption, and a tightening labor market. But the one risk too often overlooked? That businesses rely on healthy people and healthy communities. Despite spending more on healthcare than any other nation, the U.S. is falling behind on nearly every major health indicator. Life expectancy is declining, chronic illness is rising, and access to care remains uncertain for one in four Americans. These aren’t just public health issues. They’re economic issues. They weaken our workforce, strain businesses, threaten…
Today, design drives effective business strategy, but design education hasn’t caught up. As companies scramble to digitally transform, adapt to the climate crisis, and navigate culture and trade wars, design’s role has expanded—moving to the center of how organizations shape products, services, and systems. With this elevated role comes a sobering reality: Many design leaders feel increasingly out of their depth. Promoted for creative excellence, they suddenly find themselves navigating boardrooms, budgets, business models, and organizational change without the proper preparation. As Fast Company puts it, a generation of design leaders are in the midst of a “big design freak-out,”…
AI isn’t a cost-cutting tool. It’s a revenue multiplier. Yet too many companies are stuck asking how AI can help them run leaner with fewer people, faster processes, lower costs. That question won’t unlock exponential growth. The better one is: How can AI help us grow faster, sell more, and drive new revenue streams? Yes, cost savings will deliver marginal gains. But accelerated and/or new revenue unlocks step-change impact. If your AI doesn’t show up in your P&L as higher conversion, more long-term value, and stronger monetization, then it’s not a strategy. It’s just automation. THE REVENUE UNLOCK IS HIDING…
