I spent time with Blackstone’s Global Head of Real Estate, Nadeem Meghji, today. I came away really excited about the scale of data center, energy and infrastructure development that the world will need and how we can work together to do it. I was also really impressed with what he and Blackstone have built and, more personally, that he also grew up in Canada before moving to the US, like me!

I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren’t born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit.

Teaching adaptability may ultimately be most critical for preparing future workers for work of the future. This includes cultivating curiosity, creativity, and empathy #impinv #futureofwork impactalpha.com/the-augmented-…
