There’s a lot going on in tech, in the economy, and in geopolitics.
The time we live in is likely the most fascinating and complex era in history.
What other era had two billionaires publicly challenging each other to a cage fight?
I’m interested in so many things.
It’s impossible to keep up with them all.
In 1990 my career track shifted from wanting to be a top Sovietologist (I graduated college with a BA in Russian) to becoming a tech entrepreneur.
Today, the happenings in Russia could dramatically affect the world.
Today, my company Soar is developing AI to help people in the areas of life that matter most—including career, relationships, health, finance, faith and community, government and education.
It’s hard not to spend every waking hour tracking all the developments in AI, and implementing our ideas as fast as possible.
It’s hard not to spend every waking hour watching the thousands of tweets and news stories about the potential civil war in Russia, as well as the tragic continuation of their war on Ukraine.
It’s hard not to obsess about the economy, government spending, inflation, the growing debt, the growing global movement towards dedollarization, the fascinating world of cryptocurrency, the rise of CBDCs, and the SEC’s war on crypto.
All of these are endlessly fascinating.
But much research suggests that the time you and I spend with our family and friends, neighbors we help, people we serve, connecting at church and in our communities will make a bigger difference in our happiness today, tomorrow and forever than being on top of all the news and trends and developments in all the fascinating fields listed above.
People and relationships matter most.
Let’s all (me especially) always try to remember that.
