8 shifts that happen when you start believing you deserve the win

Read MoreStop Debating SMS Marketing—Make It Standard
Too many companies still treat SMS marketing like a risky experiment. That hesitation costs growth, data, and customer loyalty. My stance is simple: SMS should be a default part of your tech stack.

Read More7 reasons success feels emptier than you expected
You thought hitting this milestone would feel different. The revenue goal, the product launch, the funding round, the traction graph finally pointing up and to the right.

I recently stumbled on an old tech piece from back in 2014 by Forbes contributor James Comfort, where the IBM spokesperson was hailing the migration to the cloud as a flexible and scalable way to work in the modern world.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is known for its colorful cast of characters. But even by those standards, the scenes of Jesus Christ and Sonic the Hedgehog racing past security guards employed by the Church of Scientology in recent days were a little bizarre.

Read MoreYour Purchase Cycle Is Your North Star
I’m Erik Huberman, and I’ve spent my career growing brands by keeping focus on what actually moves revenue. Here’s the uncomfortable truth: most teams don’t know their purchase cycle. They talk about clicks, cost per lead, or return on ad spend. But they skip the number that makes those metrics either useful or useless. My…

You can feel it before anyone says it out loud. Standups get quieter. Deadlines slip without urgency. The same team that once pushed late nights out of excitement now just checks boxes.

WASHINGTON — A divided Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on whether the police use of phone tracking data violates the Constitution’s protection against “unreasonable searches.” Most of the justices sounded wary of barring investigators from obtaining precise location history from Google or cellphone providers if it helps find a murderer or a bank robber. “I’m trying…
Read MoreWhy Serious Investors Are Rethinking Art And Who They’re Calling When They Do
For most of the twentieth century, buying art seriously meant one of two things: inheriting a collection or building one through decades of gallery relationships, auction house access, and hard-won institutional knowledge. The idea that a first-generation collector, someone without a family name attached to a museum wing, could enter the market at the highest…

You don’t hear this part talked about enough. Not the early excitement, not the obvious lows, but the strange middle where things almost make sense and somehow feel more confusing than ever. You’ve put in the reps, you’ve survived the first waves of doubt, and now instead of clarity, you feel like you’re losing your…
Read MoreWorkplace Noise Is Costing Your Business More Than You Think
It’s easy to invest in tools, talents, and systems. But what about workplace noise? Is the decibel range of your office space even on your radar? If not, it should be.
