J.B. is the definition of "badass." J.B., FYI, is also a billionaire. Idiot has become a word that's shorthand for "people who don't think like me." Much like the words "freedom," "democracy" and even "economy" 360 degrees of people are hardwired with definitions that are unique to the contexts of their own lives. Which makes it so hard to communicate or have empathy for the opinions of others. "Smart" and "intelligent" are supposed to mean something, too. The smartest brainiacs, IMO, are comedians, actors, musicians and people who work or have worked in advertising (shout out to my peeps!) because of the speed by which they bring context to disparities, a.k.a. "insights," combined with their ability to create action plans (objectives). People who game the system to do whatever it takes to win (objective) are also not idiots at all. They actually are smart and make great strategists. For my political axis, my X would be cruel (left) to kind (right) like J.B., and Y would be dogmatism (bottom) to analytical context (top). So the upper right hand quadrant would be a pretty great person to lead. Sharing the same values would be whether we share the same definitions of words. Maybe all that is just too complex. Like life. So idiot for the win? #politics #strategy #marketingstrategy #politicalempathy #democrats #republicans #DNC #RNC #guesswhoiamvotingfor

The Best Graduation Speech of 2024 Is Absolutely Obvious, and It All Comes Down to Just 1 Word. A rainy day and an abbreviated speech, but some very useful lessons were shared. Robert Hale Jr.'s address to the graduates of the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth was truly memorable. He gave $1,000 in cash to each graduate, with $500 for them to keep and $500 to give away to someone in need. Certainly, giving money to graduates is a sure way to win hearts. However, the speech was more than just a generous gesture. From humble beginnings of washing dishes to becoming a dot-com billionaire, Hale shared his journey of success, failure, and redemption. It's a powerful story of resilience and giving back to the community. Watch the video at the bottom of the article to witness Hale's inspiring message unfold. It's a reminder that success is not just about personal achievements but also about lifting others up. Kudos to Robert Hale Jr. for an impactful and memorable graduation speech. https://lnkd.in/ezuMgb_N (skip video to 2:25)
