Bill Gates doesn’t miss much. In the last two-years Mr. Chief Climate Officer has been on 60 Minutes twice to make climate change predictions. Note to self: don’t forget Chief Pandemic Officer Gates accurate prognostication in 2014...
Big Tech counts some of the largest, profitable, cash rich, and successful companies worldwide. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Tik-Tok are so successful, Congress is compelled to investigate their inability to prevent spreading mis-information, and to warrant data use & privacy. How did the success of these companies necessitate the government to attempt to put the proverbial horse back in the barn...
We’ve all seen the 2015 TED talk video of Bill Gates predicting our current state of affairs. And subsequently, we’ve all been listening very closely to Bill in his new role as C19 pandemic data-scientist. So, when Gates appeared on national tv last week to give a pandemic assessment update - I put down what I was doing.

One of my personal favorites growing up: King Kong vs Godzilla. Of course, King Kong was from Skull Island by way of New York, and Godzilla was from Odo Island Japan – not quite America vs. China but close enough for a 9-year old.
The dust from the dot-bomb explosion is settling, and I start a small (and I mean small) content-marketing company www.businesswatchnetwork (BWN). I vividly recall the first company server in my basement, connected to a 750MB DSL circuit - adjacent the plywood shelving where my 12-year old son’s baseball and hockey equipment waited patiently for the next game.
I’m about as much a scientist, as I am a science denier. If you don’t know exactly what that means, you’re probably not alone. I do have a Bachelor of Science Degree from Northeastern University – but that’s in Marketing. Perhaps that explains why I’m always creating my own hypothesis to test against real-world outcomes.
Contrary to popular belief, there was an evolution of Steve Jobs Management style during his career. Yes that’s right – even Steve Jobs recognized (albeit not publicly) when his Management style failed, and attempted to make course corrections the next time out.
