SPEAKER 3
Am I a bad person? Tell me, am I? I'm single-minded. I'm deceptive. I'm obsessive. I'm selfish. Does that make me a bad person? Am I a bad person? Am I? I have no empathy. I don't respect you. I'm never satisfied. I have an obsession with power. I'm irrational. I have zero remorse. I have no sense of compassion.

I'm delusional. I'm maniacal. You think I'm a bad person? Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. I think I'm better than everyone else. I want to take what's yours and never give it back. What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine.

Am I a bad person? Tell me, am I?

NOTE: a version of this post & video was originally published by me on August 7th. But seems like a reminder is warranted.

If there is one business rule to stick to, it is that you never want to go against Nike’s Marketing team - the folks who predicted Michael Jordan.

And here it is again, on July 19th, Nike 👟 released this video 👆, which speaks for itself.

In this publication, I like to vocalize my analysis and take positions on what’s going on in the world of tech, AI, and data.

Sometimes I also talk about seemingly unrelated stuff. Here is, for example, what I wrote about how I voted in this election:

But if there is one lesson to take away from this Presidential Election it is this:

No level of SWAT analysis by consultants, Venture Capital-drafted spreadsheets, founder pitch decks, analysts dashboards, or even of this very “Report”…

can beat just “going out there, and doing the damn thing”.

or as Jon Stewart put it:

So in the true spirit of this new era’s founder-mode, and without further ado, are you looking for an Interim Director of AI / Data?

Do you need an owner who will setup your infrastructure?

Are you tired of wasting money on expensive Snowflake/Databricks/DBT/Looker deployments?

Do you just need someone to “do the damn thing“?

Maybe, you just need me!
