After you smoke me out, I'll give you the 1 piece of private advice I think you need to hear the most. The new Apple CEO John Ternus should give me a call. I am a top content creator in his ecosystem.
Examples:
Jocko: Thanks for writing your Field Manual on Leadership. I'm glad I read it. So glad, in fact, that I've bought Extreme Ownership for myself to read in the future and have given out multiple copies over the years. Thank you for being a great example of military leadership. Also, huge fan of your supply chain. I hope to have my own empire one day, and seek to replicate your style. The only suggestion I have is from a position of ignorace as I have not attended your Echelon Front Musters yet. I hope to do so in the future. Do you include any direct hiring pipelines or invite representatives from the many veteran and active duty transition organizations into your Echelon Front seminars or post their marketing materials? I imagine many of the business leaders attending your seminars are looking to hire people of similar values, and you as the lynchpin of that introduction could work wonders. That'd be an easy addition to your impressive business but may also turn it into a circus. It's rude of me to suggest this, as it takes all the work of your entire consulting empire for granted. Always remember, Army and Navy, play for 2nd.
Justin Bieber: You probably had a lot done to you. You probably did things you thought were normal, because your mentors were leading you astray. I'd suggest taking a year, and telling your wife 1 thing each day. Give her that power. Don't give it to some therapist. Then, use your resources to start a music label. Find 10 talents, and give them to start you wish you had. PS: Let's make the next music platform together, whatever the fuck that is. I think that'd be a fun collab. Oh, and Biebs. I want to compete with your business manager in 1 very specific component of your future talent empire. Just a quick collab.
Pope Leo: You are publicly the #1 follower of God. That makes you the leader of Christians and I'm a fan of your words so far. I've disagreed with you, but upon reflection, you're likely right. I'll keep reflecting and likely layers of your rightness will appear.
Stop following your handlers and doing the same thing your predecessors did. Christianity has been attacked for 2000 years. Study war. You have been attacked most effectively by editors.
Hark, the herald, sing you beautiful Pope. Rejoice.
My demand for you is that you release 2 working publications to be finalized ONLY when you relinquish Popedome.
1: The Pope Leo XIV Bible. Updated for what you think is the modern edits, properly formatted, and presented in at least English, Italian, French, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Russian, Polish, German, and whatever they call the Japanese language. Pretty sure the trump Bible has some foreign influence. If on your deathbed, the trump bible is more widely published than the Pope Leo Bible, you have failed as Pope.
2: An abridged layman's version of the core teachings, less than 10 pages. Leo's Lessons properly formatted, and presented in at least English, Italian, French, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Russian, Polish, German, and whatever they call the Japanese language.
Just start it now, and just add a few edits each year until you finalize... I want to read both ASAP.
It must be hand written (then replicated) or it will not be trusted over time.
Get to work.
Apple: One day Apple will realize it's no longer unique. As Facebook is a software platform, Apple is just a hardware platform. Most platforms succeed based on their community. Facebook and many other current leaders are losing market share because they punish their community, and their content creators. Creating on a meta owned platform as an infinite zero return as eventually, you will be banned. Apple leadership is moving in that direction. Nike gets people to play dumbass sports because they sponsor athletes. E-sports grows because it sponsors mathletes. All communities need content creators. Apple should sponsor the fuck out me, not stifle my approval process.
Dana White: Your brand is that you are the fighter's champ. You used to create opportunity that was worth it for fighters to pursue. Now, 5 of your employees have committed suicide. Sorry bro, wages haven't kept pace with inflation, and now you're engaging in Fraud Waste & Abuse while partnering UFC with the two greatest war criminals on earth: trump and bibi?
If you'd hired me the multiple times I applied to work for you, I would've told you this. Just a quick question to illustrate my point: How many other fight leagues exist, and were they allowed to bid on the contract? Why did Elon, Joe Kent, and Tulsi all tap out; while you doubled down?
People joke about how much Donald Trump's popularity changed only after he got into politics. He's either dragging you down with him, or you're standing up for him. However, in this case, he likely engaged you in years of Fraud, Waste, & Abuse lawsuits that aren't worth your time. It doesn't matter what your opinion is. Every liberal fed can attack you now. Get your lawyers ready. Go back to bragging about how overpaid your workers are, not how much taxpayer money was spent, and how many monuments were rented, to bolster your bank account. Every time a future POTUS rents out the Lincoln memorial, you did that.
