Most people don’t succeed because they’re addicted to preparation, and allergic to execution

Hardest thing I heard today: ‘You can’t make millions without a couple of Ls’

Just walked by the oh-so-familiar situation of a traffic warden/parking attendant arguing with someone over a ticket. In 2025, surely technology can take care of this based on who/how long/where someone can be parked?

I know the world is a shit-show at the moment but wow, #Bluesky is now just a black hole of negativity and fear mongering. Where’s all the positive news at?

Things that keep people from fulfilling their potential: 1. Lacking the courage to try 2. Trying to please everyone 3. Imitating the desires of others 4. Chasing status without questioning why 5. Playing superhero and trying to do it all alone 6. Dividing attention between too many projects

Dear Bluesky, Quick piece of advice. When your posts include an em-dash (long hyphen) between two words with no spaces, like This is a weird post—where’s he going with this? It’s usually a giveaway that AI wrote it. Sincerely, Someone who uses AI every day.

Why do the words ‘yes’ or ‘no’ feel abrupt to type nowadays? Especially on Teams/Slack. I find myself defaulting to yeah, yep, sure, nope, naa… Might be a millennial thing, or maybe just me

The cost of entry and ability to work with AI is the lowest it will ever be. Upskilling now will not only future-proof employees for the future, but offer a competitive advantage as others play catch up.

Automation? Hyper-personalisation? Content creation? AI agents on the way? AI + Digital Marketing = so hot right now.

“Happiness is simply the absence of unhappiness” - Mo Gawdat Sounds basic, but think about it. Striving for ‘more’ like material possessions, career growth or a social following won’t address your underlying problems. Until you identify + address the root of your unhappiness, nothing changes.

Some handy reminders from entrepreneur Matt Gray to have your best year yet: 1️⃣ If it's not a "Hell Yes," it's a no 2️⃣ Epic days create epic years 3️⃣ Insanely simple beats complicated every time 4️⃣ Put skin in the game (book it, buy it, commit)

Found this marketing advice on another platform - thoughts?

“Many users will just be happy to get that extra engagement, whether it’s artificial or not.” Jeez - things are feeling more Black Mirror by the month. Quick reminder, if you post only to get followers, you’re not here the right reasons 🤷‍♂️ www.marketingdive.com/news/Meta-ai...

Someone on Reddit searched for (the non-existent) John Wick 5, and Google spared no expense to lie to them.

Most companies remain siloed, risk-averse, and slow to adapt to AI. Competence and proactivity in managing this change will become a strategic advantage in ‘25. martech.org/lessons-from...

I enjoy this quote from Susan Sontag on finding the courage to change this year: "I must change my life so that I can live it, not wait for it."

"Your habits are a byproduct of convenience.” We’re wired to seek the path of least resistance, so the easiest option is usually the one that wins. 👟 Starting gym in January? Keep your bag by the door. 🚭 Quitting smoking? Make them a pain the find. Give yourself the best chance.

42% of waking hours spent looking at a screen? Wild.

There’s no perfect formula for when to post, but timing matters. Test different slots and track what resonates with your audience. Remember, what works for one brand won’t work for another. Experiment, and let your data guide the way to higher engagement and more meaningful conversations.

Strong leadership is about asking the right questions. Try asking your team this in your next meeting: “What’s stopping you from doing your best work?” You’ll uncover blockers, build trust, and encourage solutions you might never have imagined. Sometimes, progress starts with listening 👂
