In my experience coaching executives, entrepreneurs, and founders across multiple industries, the smartest ones share one trait: they see the shift coming and they’re movin

If you want to gauge someone’s true capabilities, observe the creativity and effort they put into making excuses. Their resourcefulness and determination are clear.

In 2016, PayPal scrapped plans for an operations center in North Carolina after the state passed its controversial “bathroom bill.” In 2022, Disney publicly criticized Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.
