HM- After 18 months of steady social media income, collecting patrons, and once you’ve learned how to successfully avoid demonetization you’ll be free of fear of doxxing. Personally, knowing you, and knowing your potential, I don’t see why you wouldn’t get there within six…

PREDATORS
I think in predatory terms. military, strategic, political, financial, economic, and commercial. I have earned a somewhat ruthless business reputation and a combative legal one. I understand the enemy. The difference is that I work for our people by defending against… https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1870273111188521049

It was a good investment. It was not expensive. It only required paying attention and focused interaction at the right times. Good people will go the right direction most on their own. All you must do is confirm or support their progress in the optimum direction and lay out a bit of intellectual and moral bait that helps them create their own vision. But never overdo it. It must be THEIR vision and an expression of THEIR motives.

I bet on talent. You would be surprised at my success rate. It’s less than 20%, probably. But that’s still a pretty high success rate. ;). The number of companies founded by people who have worked for me is evidence enough. The quality of the fellows at my think tank demonstrates it’s repeatable.
Rudyard is the real thing. He might go sideways. But he has Marek, me, and others watching the guardrails.
You can’t try to achieve victory with all your investments. Instead, you develop a portfolio and add people and drop them as they demonstrate whether your speculation was warranted or not.
(Ask @bierlingm how long I bet on him. And it’s this year he’s become an unstoppable force of nature.)

The rest of the team feels as though we have completed the arc with the three conferences. (a) I feel as though the sequence needs another pass – a refinement. (b) We are not sure which strategy to take until after the first 100 days of the new administration. Until then we feel we would be shouting into the wind. (c) there is a competition between our work in authoring and activism and our work in community building. While it may be more important to devote our time to authoring and activism, I think most of us, and most of you, feel strongly about continuing to build community – even if it’s less strategically important, and largely one of rewarding one another with the joy of experience together. In other words ‘we just enjoy it.’ 😉
So yeah. Another ‘take over a campground’, cook some meet, drink some beverages, build a bonfire, and talk deep into the night is certainly something we should pursue. 😉

I have bought and integrated something close to a hundred companies. I’ve built a top 25 digital agency. And I’ve spent decades of my life consulting with the executive teams of fortune four hundred companies – in particular on their strategies. It involves running dozens to hundreds of people through working sessions where I pry out of them the source of their internal conflicts, their limits, and their opportunities.
You would be surprised how distributed decision making is in any large company,and how incompetent financial and operational leadership is at comprehending market and positioning. Chief Marketing Officers are the highest turnover in the top offices for a reason. Most of them fail.
So yes I am ‘smarter than that’, but it means that developing consensus on branding and positioning had best be done by one of the top very expensive agencies in the world, and not by internal staff, nor production agencies, nor handed off to small ‘creative firms’ that are experts in TRENDS not BRANDS.
All problems are people problems.
