Apple iPhone… Please Start Innovating and Imagining Again!
Apple has been one of the great innovators of our age – there is no arguing that! But, what is happening at Apple Computers today (and for the last ~10 years) is less than what I’d expect from the tech giant. Incremental innovation is all I’ve seen, and we’re witnessing the decline of a great…
Read MorePersonalized Music: Imagine!
For decades, as consumers and lovers of music, we have only had a choice of the medium of music to purchase: Do we buy a record, a CD, a track? Do we stream or do we listen to streaming playlists? No matter how much we love music, we really have not had a choice in ‘curating’ or…
Read MoreDisruptive Technology is ALWAYS Greeted with Doubt, Skepticism and Rejection
Every disruptive technology is greeted with doubt, skepticism, and rejection. That is the normal trend.

Read MoreHow is the Evolving Virtual Work Environment Impacting You?
Have you heard folks say, “Boy things are great! We are super-connected by Zoom”? If this is true, then why is the Great Resignation happening? The truth is: being on Zoom is not the same as being truly engaged. Today like never before, later stage Millennials and Gen Xers are walking out in the millions.…
Read MoreTom Brady and Leadership
What fascinates me most about Tom Brady is not only that he is a great player, or that he has now won a record SEVEN Superbowl events, or that he is one of the best players over 40 years of age, or that he is a stronger quarterback than someone 22 years his junior. There…
