You still lost
If I were to think about my current life approach as an athlete, taking on that that metaphor for my life, I would say that I lost the race. It wouldn’t be because I was ill prepared for lack of training. Nor would it be because I was bested by my fellow athletes. Not even…

The Musk problem
Tesla sales were down 71%. If like me you don’t fancy yourself a math genius, we can both just rest assured that equals a lot money lost. It had nothing to do with the product itself. Not even the cybertruck catching fire or concerns about self-driving systems led to such a drop. It all has…
