Nothing to add here. C.S. Lewis tells it like it is currently.

We’ve all worked with difficult people—but Proverbs 26 reminds us that foolishness isn’t just “out there.” Sometimes it’s in us when we resist correction. In today’s episode, I share lessons from my own leadership journey. open.substack.com/pub/market…

The heartbreaking loss of Charlie Kirk reminds us how fragile life is. I believe this tragedy will stir something deep within us—a call to awaken the silent majority and lead with love, not anger.

Signed up for a data broker cleanup service last year via a trusted affiliate link. Seemed legit, but spam mail, phishing, and texts spiked during the subscription. Reported issues, got ignored. Jumped through hoops to cancel auto-renewal, and last week, got confirmation it's done. Since then? Spam, phishing, and texts nearly vanished. Coincidence? Be cautious with subscriptions!

Trump and Elon have to get back together again. Frankly, I'm thinking of calling both up myself and saying, This is stupid. This is bad for America. We need the number one industrialist, the most advanced in technology worldwide, working with the most powerful man on Earth. It doesn't matter about politics anymore. What matters that these two are working together. These are giant egos, and it's not good for America. It's just bad. We don't need a third party. Ross Perot tried that. Bad idea. It's all bad. These two guys have to get together. I'm not the only person that feels this way in, in, in his inner circle where everybody knows this is bad.
