Newsletters

💌 Burgers, French Fries and a Multi-Million Dollar YouTube Empire: Mr Beast - In the times to come, the line between creators and brands will continue to blur and the ways in which creators productize and monetize their passions will diversify. This will create new types of jobs, unleash innovation at the level of the creator and also the platforms and infrastructure required to support them.

💌 The art of making amends - It starts with recognizing why we want to make amends. Is it to get out of trouble we have gotten into or is it for a larger change we want to implement for a better tomorrow. Lasting change happens only when we are intrinsically motivated about the transition.

💌 Who will you disappoint? - This mental arithmetic about the cost and consequences of disappointment are part of being human. To figure out one way forward, we can look at the work of Donald Winnicott, an English pediatrician who proposed that the happiness of the human race depended on the way parents bring up their children. All perversions of humanity were, in his view, a failure of parental provision: from fascism to misogyny to drug abuse. The road to a better society begins in the nursery.

Have a wonderful week ahead. — Your Network Capital Team
