2026/01/31

For the month of January those who think of this as the first month often have expectations of some kind of #forecast or #prophecy. Words of direction that they can depend on for the year to come.

Here is something you might appreciate. This is recorded after an impressive talk by a Chinese product sourcing expert.

2025/12/03

In the month of November, we continued our discussion of the elite overproduction hypothesis from the work of Noah Smith. Perhaps the most crucial take away from me, was the need to manage expectations. All the planning and work that goes into the creation of courses and program for various directions of study often stems from what we perceive as needs in the years that will follow but it is still very difficult to predict what the future will be like. The equation Happiness=Reality-Expectations is

In this issue we complete the piece that was written by Noah Smith on the Elite Overproduction Hypothesis. The key takeaway from this is the need to be sensitive about how we address the challenges that many in this generation are facing with lack of jobs and opportunity and to stay away from using humor that belittles their choices and circumstances. We also begin a conversation about MTN Uganda's 2024 report and what we see as takeaways. Finally, we share the contents of a course in VC

This is a conversation we had regarding volunteering and the possible transition between executive roles to voluntary roles and positions. I was curious about how to think about a life that is designed around giving back to communities especially after years of making money (even this is service within itself). Key takeaways are the importance of Depth verses Breadth, Team composition and Placing Value in Locals and their structures. Kimberly Haley-Coleman is the founder and Executive Director of

Some of the major ideas that stand out are seen in almost all stories that were done with the BBC where they always start with a country summary. This may be useful because these characteristics often form the basis or foundation upon which the innovation is built or the platform upon which development will be based.
