You should watch this TED talk #soinspirational

I truly believe that ‘stuff’ really does not bring happiness. Family, friends, good health and the satisfaction that comes from making a positive difference are what really matters https://t.co/GFLwOyJLGt pic.twitter.com/r4LbQOcg8J

Great inspiration from Sir Richard Branson, and it's oh so true! I was just telling the intern getting my wheatgrass shot that 'stuff' does not bring happiness, but love and good health does!!

Love is about synergy and we need to tap into it from both ends!! I'll be tweeting this inspiro to Sir Richard (along with a request to be an angel investor for my new #sidehustle: a dating app, helping to connect pug owners exclusively), he'll love it!!

Actual quote from the Firefox team:

And today we're excited to announce that we're moving to a four-week release cycle! We're adjusting our cadence to increase our agility, and bring you new features more quickly. In recent quarters, we've had many requests to take features to market sooner. Feature teams are increasingly working in sprints that align better with shorter release cycles. Considering these factors, it is time we changed our release cadence.

this is the opening sentence of an email youtube sent me (as a customer) a few weeks ago:

We're reaching out with an update on how we'll release YouTube Originals going forward, as well as updates to your YouTube and YouTube Music features.

some besuited buzzwank thought it would be a good idea to send this sentence to every customer

Hey Futurefluencers!

I'm hearing a lot of negative noise around the office since we that great guy, the artisanal barista, could no longer brew up that hot java in the kitchen each morning. Have to say, crew, I was sad too... but the Starbucks will pick you up just as much before a big day of hustle!!!

Yeah, I've seen the stories about issues with the upcoming IPO because our CEO is (allegedly!!!) a 'batshit crazy madman wasting millions on mescaline parties and cryogenics' but we're working through it! More than ever guys, I need you to be thoughtleaders in your field... it's time to tap in from both ends with our customers!!!!

I tapped in from both ends with your mum

Maybe there's a better thread for this, but what do you all make of this Yuval Noah Harari guy? Legit or just another Gladwell-type clever reductionist?

What's his influencer brand like? Inspirational?

He actually seems slightly pessimistic tbh

Mind Negative Influencer

Who is everyone's favorite positive thinkfluencer and how have they enriched your personal & professional lives with uplifting momentum even during these trying times in "the new normal"?

that is absolutely incredible

all of a sudden I'm onboard with Scotty's defunding of universities

just a fun guy having fun

i'm trying to read between the lines to figure out when he has time for the epic boning he must surely have scheduled with his partner

a sandwich, pasta or sushi would make me sleepy all afternoon.

poor snowflake!

imagine the loss to humanity if he performed at less than his peak for the arvo

seems like a lot of hassle to make podcasts

lmao

You know, I might not ever post a political stance on the company LinkedIn page, but I might post it on the company owner’s LinkedIn profile.

Hey, it's marketing here. Yeah, I tried pinging you on Teams, said you were do not disturb? Anyway, important stuff... we need you post some mighty TL. Oh, that means Thought Leadership. Yeah, we cut it down. No, people didn't know what MTL meant. Anyway, important stuff... we need to promote ESG thought leaders on the vanguard at our Q4 event. No, it's no longer called the Year End event. Why are you talking about do not disturb? On Teams? Anyway, important stuff... mighty TL that to your ESG tribe asap okay thanks!

Glad we got the big brains on this one!

Hi, I'm the Chief Metaverse Officer.

We're brewing some engaging coaching content at the EQ Café, can I get you a mug of L&D?

We are reinventing the science of selling.

Have we ever celebrated these values on the socials?

Maybe there is more we can curate?

Affirmative, will loop back and peel the onion.

Look let's not boil the ocean here people!

All we need to do is just re-surface some of those really activating titles

Okay tribe, what is the call to action here?

Sorry, team, our capital sources have temporarily dried up and you all are being furloughed.

Folks, we need you to embrace a new motto... 'more with less'.

fewer, bigger, better

let’s do a quick sync on that next week

Our new brand, in our heads, is a more accessible kind of name, it's a palindrome. It's navigating the world. It's about the avant-garde.

“FuF”

Guys, guys... this is TABLE STAKES in this industry.

We are becoming more agile.

I just want to make sure we’re aligning on outcomes. Right guys?

We've got a new vibe this quarter. It's thought leadership, reimagined.

We're aiming at centers of influence.

Now is the time to turbo boost our growth strategy. (Once we polish off month end reporting.)

We're talking big interventions here, team. I want the best brains on this.

Some events are truly experiences. The fireside chats about incorporating AI chatbots into our new frontline customer service vision were inspiring.

But when are we going to ladder up to that visioning work that Dan led so effectively? It’s been months! Let’s get aligned and start delivering!!!!

New addition to the business plan: AI-inspired thought leadership.

That tracks

I can't believe it's already September and that I've been at Corp Co. for six months. I've already seen some game-changing vision work from our leadership, and some incredible strat and execution to really land our proposition with the market and I just want to take a moment to say: well done.

That said we will need to adjust our footprint going forward. HR will be in touch if you are affected. As always our mental health website is available for all staff.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about a lighthouse, showcase, go-to-market plan!

Folks, we need you to embrace a new motto... 'work from work, particularly on Mondays and Fridays'.

How might we we understand what good looks like? What's our kit of parts, when we really need to break the glass and build a head of steam towards the outcomes that we want to drive? Tamika, Kenny - I need you to flesh this out

We need HORIZONTAL THINKING, people

And unfortunately we're not doing leave-behinds on this one - but you can imagine that it's pretty competitive with what's on the market in terms of spirit-crushing soul destruction

Folks this quarter.... we are going to need to harden our ingest

genai will make us more productive

Buddy we have a north star.... and you ain't it

god i was in an industry conversation yesterday with someone who kept saying north star north star and so to hook in i was saying “to get to your north star, achieving your north star” until we were hustling basically going north star north star north star at each other and i just felt so tired.

Please reach out to Samir, Samir is amazing!

How's your elevator pitch?

Maybe that’s something to, uh, iterate on for next time Mark

I strongly suggest enrolling in their "talent network", it will pay dividends, trust me.

Sure, that's something that we can definitely, maybe, think about having a look at in the future

In this team we LOVE data!

why the fuck do i choose to live like this

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Folks, we need you to embrace a new motto... 'get Agentic AI do it, unless the "it" is raising a case to the IT department.'

Thank you so much for all these questions. Keep them coming. Some of them we'll answer together and some of them we'll need to keep working at. It's important to zoom out. This is a really massive change. We want to be really clear that this is a transition. It's okay that we don't have all the detail yet.

Sounds like my employer when they announced they were mailing us go to hoteling

Making

What this update really represents is a shift in how we think about case creation.

By taking a moment to clearly explain the issue in your own words, you’re enabling our AI to translate intent into structure and intelligently populate the case for you.

Will you still need to review or complete all fields? Of course, that’s part of the journey.

This isn’t about the AI being perfect today, it’s about training it through meaningful input. Every clarification you make helps the system learn and improve.

It may feel like an extra step at first, but that’s just unfamiliarity. Adoption is what unlocks efficiency, and efficiency is what unlocks better outcomes.

This is how we move forward.

Let's talk about "brandmaxxing" with AI.

That's a great question. Let's have that conversation.

On deck: DEEP personalisation.
