Ever wondered why that person you are struggling with (at home, at work, etc) acts the way they do?
Here's something a wise man once taught me . . . 👇🏼

@BetterCeo @moseskagan 100%. That’s one. Care to name several others? Where do poor decisions and personal responsibility come into that list?
Certainly it’s complicated but it would be wrong to swing the pendulum to either side.

For my part, I think the govt (really, the tax-payers) ought to provide housing to the poorest people, bc we're rich enough to do so.
But we ought not to try to provide it on particularly expensive, desirable land, bc that's:
1. Inefficient (in other words, it does not maximize the housing provided per dollar of taxation), and
2. Deeply unfair to the tax-payers who can't afford to live on that land themselves (typically, the working poor and middle class).

Been thinking about housing as a human right. Which of course it should be. But provided by whom? In the US, folks say: “the state.” (by which the mean “the rich.” In some countries, it’s much simpler: kids take in their aging parents. Parents take in their stuggling kids. Friends take in struggling friends. So yeah, I guess housing should be a human right - it’s up to us to make sure that our family and neighbors have a roof over their heads if they can’t provide ther own. But the moment you define it as a stranger working for you to have that right, well that’s just theft.

@moseskagan Your privilege is showing if you think people are poor because they are lazy.

@markbrooks That’s a deep cut but man oh man, what a great tweet!

@W2Freedom @vrexec Ha. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Having a debate about where base salaries top out in the US... even in the most prestigious roles at the top banks or tech companies.
I've always thought salaries topped out at $200-300K regardless of job/seniority, with the rest being bonus, commission, RSUs, options, profit share, etc.
Then I see this Netflix job requiring just 5-10 years experience with comp of $320-560K. It goes on to explain you can choose your salary and options mix.
I still don't know the answer... where do US base salaries top out below the c-suite?

@markbrooks Have you read “the china study”?
Reading now and it is fascinating and convicting.

Is it possible that the obesity epidemic has less to do with all the normally cited factors (food quality, sedentary lifestyle, etc) and more to do with food becoming the drug of choice? If so, GLP-1s are not a solution, but a mask.

@BetterCeo Just finished “Output Thinking.” Outstanding work! Will be buying a few copies for colleagues.
And excellent to meet you at @MainStSummit last year!

@ConnorAbene 5% pre-pay?
I don’t disagree with the concept but 5% is sometimes 1/2 to 1/3rd of the profits in a service business.
No way this pencils out when considering cost of capital vs waiting 30 days.
English
Add payment incentives:
• 5% discount for prepay
• 2% for net-15
• Standard rate for net-30
Watch behavior change instantly.

Your payment terms are destroying your profits.

Someone challenged me to rewrite this in iambic pentameter:
Authority and leadership are not
The same and muddled they should never be
Authority sans merit can be got
But leadership must have sweet merit’s key
Quick as the fox author’ty can be giv’n
But leadership must blossom over time
And thus, my charge, by leadership be driv’n
Authority will follow, genuine
Mark Brooks@markbrooks
Authority and leadership are not to be confused. Authority can result from fear, leadership cannot. Authority can be given without merit, leadership cannot. Authority can be granted quickly, leadership cannot. Good authority, then, is built upon a foundation of leadership.

@robbielaney Iambic Pentameter with X's character limits would be a new challenge

Loyalty and trust are not to be confused. Loyalty can result from fear, trust cannot. Loyalty can be given without merit, trust cannot. Loyalty can be granted quickly, trust cannot. True loyalty, then, is built upon a foundation of trust.
