Description
Listen along to my thoughts of what I have learned so far in life, just like we would be sharing thoughts while sitting at Starbucks drinking coffee. Tall americano is my drink of choice, but I am also an American that is taller than average, six foot six. Most of my thoughts come from a mix of the business, marketing, and theology books I have read and how those ideas play out in my life.

Maybe one of the most fascinating stories in the past several months is how one piece of content from a middle aged man on a skateboard singing Fleetwood Mac and sipping Ocean Spray went viral. Nathan went from living in an RV with no running water to a new vehicle, thousands of dollars in donations from fans, and a merch page for his new found success.
One piece of content is all it takes to change everything!

In the early 2000s, Overture and Google competed for the same marketshare, but Overture eventually was acquired by Yahoo and Google became one of the few companies ever worth over one trillion dollars. How did Google win and what lessons can we learn from that story?

We don't make our best decisions when based on fear. We need to be smart, but realize that we can't truly live if we are opposed to risk.

How did Phil Knight react when he lost distribution rights to the Onitsuka Tiger which was selling across the USA? His plan B became a global brand worth billions of dollars. Would we know about Nike if he never lost his good business with the Japanese shoe manufacturer? Can we see the great in front of us?

Although I rarely order new dishes at my favorite restaurants, it is a good idea to try different things, in different places often. Especially in uncertain times.
