This is true. Trusting a cab driver in San Jose, CR is a crap shoot. Uber provides accountability.

The Profitable Power of a Sovereign Collective Artificial intelligence doesn’t eliminate the value of human partners, but it does change the equation.

What if I told you that the most profitable solo companies aren’t solo at all?

The implication (and possible downside) is that you’re on your own. But that’s not quite right.

And that’s because the most powerful solo companies don’t operate in isolation. They collaborate.

Hilarious. What do they think Holiday and American Idiot are about?

Small Is the New Big As the most entrepreneurial generation, we are the most qualified to start solo and small companies. And unlike traditional employment, no one can tell us we can’t do it.

Big companies need fewer people to succeed. This reality will only accelerate.

The twin dynamics of AI and ageism make Gen X especially expendable.

The flip side: You can start tiny, highly profitable companies that let you earn everywhere and live anywhere.

Same force. Different outcome.

The first NFL game I took my then 10-year-old son to, Broncos beat the Patriots in overtime. That kid has been an unstoppable good luck charm at live sporting events ever since.

How Generation X Lost Control of Both Work and Home You have a voice, but not agency. And a voice without the ability to effect change is just performance.

You gave your best decades to companies that are making decisions about your economic viability without your input or regard for your well-being.

You can’t control when they hire you, when they eliminate you, or whether other management will think differently about you.

I lived much of last year in Mexico, and a guy who worked in the Apple Store in CDM said he'd be okay with US troops coming in to fight the cartels. I was surprised by that.

You're right. Seems unlikely, but anything's possible this season.

Don't the Broncos play the winner of Texans Steelers in two weeks?

This happened on an episode of Scrubs. You'd think they'd check if a sitcom imagined it happening.

Winning in Your Genre: A Midlife Story That Fits Your Temperament One-third of your personality is determined by genetics, and you shouldn’t fight it. Don’t write a romance story when you're built for mystery novels.

Here’s the mistake most people make when they try to change:

* They follow the guru’s playbook.
* They copy someone else’s success story.
* They adopt the strategies of a prominent entrepreneur or bestselling author.

And they fail or burn out. Because that person’s genre is different from yours.

We'll be in San Jose so we can scout various areas. Not looking at the beach.

Beautiful. We'll be in country on December 23 though March 31. Hopefully we can meet up.

Remix vs. Remaster: Choose Your Own Midlife Reinvention Change isn't just possible; it's necessary. Here's how to decide what kind of change your life actually needs.

Your values are shifting. The world is changing faster than ever. And your brain is still operating on 10,000-year-old survival software that has no idea what’s going on.

This third article of the Midlife Remix series will help you understand why change isn’t just possible; it’s necessary.

What's Fixed and What's Flexible: The Architecture of Your Midlife Story This second article in the Midlife Identity Remix series will help you understand yourself in a new way. And that will clear the path toward meaningful change.

Are you excited about changing your story at midlife?

Hopefully so. But you also may be thinking about the last time you tried to make a significant change.

And you’re remembering that it felt difficult, bordering on impossible.

No time change here in Baja, we just have to remember that we're now in line with Mountain time instead of Pacific. Much easier adjustment.

Midlife Isn't a Crisis, It's a Plot Twist You open the door to the midlife plot twist when you realize you can now be the sole author of your story.

That discontent and restlessness you’re feeling?

That’s not a malfunction. That’s your brain finally recognizing the current story needs change.

This isn’t a midlife crisis. It’s a midlife plot twist.

It’s Time to Burn the Old Playbook Your job security is an illusion at a point when you can least afford to lose your income.

If you're between 45 and 65, you’ve likely realized the game has changed.

The old playbook (get good grades, climb the ladder, retire at 65) is broken. The new reality requires new strategies.

Time to rewrite the script. Or if you prefer, adopt a new playbook.
