Business

Adapt to changes or face extinction!

For example, self-service in the financial technology work has improved dramatically. Traditional brokerage firms like Merrill Lynch needed to adapt or sell. They sold to Bank of America and the brand name is being phased out.

Cryptocurrency

Understand the concepts behind crypto on a conversational level so that you can assess business trends.

I disagree with those who say cryptocurrency and NFTs are just a fad. I believe that they are a part of Fintech that’s here to stay. 

Fitness

If you want to avoid becoming shorter, keep on exercising to stay fit. As we get older, our joints become less flexible and bones become more brittle, unless we exercise!

For several years I have been doing pilates, and lately, I found out that I'm taller than I used to be. It's also interesting to note that a man in his 60s whom I play pickelball with, still plays soccer for two hours a week with people in their 20s! He's still evolving!

Social Dynamics

One book that I highly recommend to learn about the history of racism and slavery is White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, by Carol Anderson. You can find other titles in my bookstore.
