Pretty cool on ya, Tesla. Good job helping out a children’s hospital in Puerto Rico.
Ray Dalio, author of the awesome book Principles(I mean it, get this book) did a cool project where he tested how hard it was to buy things with Bitcoin vs Gold. Which do you think wins?
The world communicates so differently that it’s going to muck with regulations vs progress. Fidelity’s head says that regulations no longer match how we communicate.
Lately, I’ve been pointing out stories that talk about the difference between blockchain and Bitcoin. This is a story around that, based on UBS’s assessment.
It appears that Dubai is the first government to launch a state-run cryptocurrency. I’d reported that this was coming, but didn’t realize it was here so soon.
Speaking of the United Arab Emirates, there’s also a program dedicated to training a million young Arab coders over the coming years.
I’ve been tracking the reasons people should engage more with rural business environments. Here’s one. San Francisco area real estate just sold a house for a million dollars over the asking price.
THIS is interesting. What can you learn about communication and conversational design Capital One shares some really interesting stuff here.
Speaking of bots (and I hate linking to a press release, but whatever – it came up in my research), Marriott has launched a career chatbot for Facebook Messenger. Look who’s innovating more than not lately.
Plant-based news! My beloved Impossible Burger is headed back to school. Well, campuses are getting it in more places. Ditto company cafeterias. Will work for Impossible Burgers.

Leonardo DiCaprio Buys a Lot of Burgers and Could Blockchain Remove Google From Ads?

chrisbrogan · October 20, 2017 ·

All right, you boogers. You wore me down. I got SO MANY emails from you saying, “stop just labeling your posts with numbers. It doesn’t make me want to click. Well, I get it. I guess. I’m not making this damned show for myself, so I’d better do what you tell me to do. I get it. Okay! All right, already! 🙂 Scroll down!

Consider this: with so many information coming at us all the time, solitude is about to become a trend.
Speaking of trends, maybe you won’t buy those food prep boxes for you,
but would you buy them for Fido?

Women be warned: female freelancers aren’t making what the guys are. And before you say “no kidding,” take some action.
In the “sad trumbone” department, evidently very few US hospitals can digitally share records. Like…30%.
My favorite kind of “duh” news, now that more people are eating plant-based, produce farmers need to capitalize on that.
And hey ho, Leo! Leonardo DiCaprio is investing in Beyond Meat.
All this talk of food? This is a great article about understanding food deserts, which are still a thing, but they don’t have to be.
Foursquare (they’re still around?) just posted data on America’s favorite fast food chain. The answer? Chick Fil’A.
I talk a bunch about blockchain technology. Here’s how blockchain could remove Google from search based advertising.
I’m also keen on chatbots, but would you talk to a robot as your new therapist?. If you want to check it out, go to Woebot and get started on Facebook messenger. (It’s interesting.)
eSports are bigger and bigger. Now the Pinstripes are investing in their own esports team.

What Are You Missing By Not Clicking on Those CBM Posts?

chrisbrogan · October 19, 2017 ·

Twice in the last week, I’ve received two emails from people who get this blog. That’s rare for me. The comments were identical, too. Basically “I hate it when you just send ‘CBMblahblah’ because I don’t know whether I should bother reading the post. Fair. Here’s what you need to know.

What are you missing?

Nothing. If you don’t want to click, don’t click. Maybe you’re too busy. Lots of people say they are. Until they’re suddenly not busy at all.
But what you could learn from these stories is a blend of where business, culture, technology, and life might be taking everyone. Those are my filters. Business/culture/technology/life. And through those, I run thousands of articles from which I pick 10-11 that I think might be interesting, and I give you just a bite of context, plus links to what I shared that might be of note to you.
The value is there. You just have to choose to extract it.
Click the damned link and check out the show. It’s VIDEO, by the way. It’s not text. And it’s fast.

Former US president George W Bush says the whole bigotry and racism thing is out of hand – stop it. (I second this.)
This isn’t just a political view. It costs money. It costs a half a million US dollars just for the security to allow a white supremacist to share his views at a college. A half million dollars is quite a lot of scholarships.
It’s enough to make you want to leave the planet. Well, good news. Evidently, we can just 3d Print rockets now. Talk about Star Trek.
Science fiction often leads to science fact. This really cool bundle offering will give money to Nasa and give YOU a whole bundle of cool sci fi books (Thanks to Gray Rinehart for this story.)
Speaking of shared stories, I published a piece about blockchain resources the other day. I got a tweet from Dr. Kirti Patel about her experiences in blockchain as they relate to her own exploration. Very worth checking out.
And it’s okay to be uncertain about it all. The guy who invented the WWW just told blockchain people to look at potential consequences.
Evidently, Google is helping Lyft by giving them a billion bucks to battle Uber.
What happens when your home is about to vanish off the face of the earth? Here’s what you should pack in your go-bag.
Is networking important? Don’t ask Jared Leto.
In “the marketplace has shifted” news, Amazon says that 63% of people using Amazon in the US are Prime customers.
In random news from the land of cannabis, you can get pumpkin spiced cannabis this season.

Well there you go. Bitcoin shot over $5000 yesterday. It’s kind of nuts, really. Also, this.
And even if you’re not sold on Bitcoin, you MUST embrace Blockchain for a lot of reasons. Here’s one.
Branding has become interesting. Let’s talk about Coach’s big change with Tapestry.
Related to this, there are huge WARS going on. Target and other retailers are joining Google to try and combat Amazon.
And speaking of Amazon, a cute attempt by Kansas City’s mayor to attract HQ2.
Let’s talk about the future.
The US has lost more and more manufacturing jobs. But do we even want them back? (No.)
The future of work will be weird. Wired says you’re not ready for working with robots.
But evidently it’s kind. Ryan Gosling wore a vegan faux leather coat in BladeRunner 2049.
The future might be scary as hell. Marvel’s New Mutants trailer looks a lot more like a horror movie than a superhero movie. And why that’s cool.
Finally, in cosplay fun with a soul, New York Comic Con had a great panel on diversity, women of color, and other social issues. Good!
