You can believe something that isn't true, but genuine faith demands knowing. Belief accepts; faith understands. One can be deceived, the other cannot.

Dr. Gladys West, the Black mathematician whose brilliance made GPS possible, has passed at 95. Born on a Dinwiddie County farm during the Great Depression, she overcame segregation to become a scientist and map the world; literally… never forget.

Receiving gifts is always a plus. These are very dear to my heart as @cornelluniversity.bsky.social has been key to my growth as an entrepreneur, a scientist, an inventor and a man in general.

The hardest CEO skill isn’t deciding what to do. It’s deciding what NOT to do.
Every opportunity costs you something. Every yes to one thing is a no to something else.
Strategic restraint isn’t passive. It’s the most active form of leadership there is.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

Them: “What is your cheat code for…”

Me: “Reading and comprehension.”

That’s my “magic” if you’re wondering

My great, great, great grandfather was born in the Union. His wife was native (indigenous). I’ll leave it at that.

Flashy AI demos get the clicks.

Boring AI workflows get the contracts.
Enterprise buyers aren’t asking “how smart is it?” anymore.

They’re asking “will this still work on Tuesday?”

Reliability is the new intelligence.

That’s the moat serious operators are betting on.

There is no secret sauce, of that I can assure you. There are simply methods that are proven to work over time for every skillset worth monetizing in any essential industry.
