Serendipity

March 17, 2024 | Sure, you can chalk up a business’s success to big plans, brilliant ideas, and excellent execution—usually, those go a long way. But much of business (and life) comes down to serendipity—essentially, being in the right place at the right time.

The Sound of Music

March 10, 2024 | Thanks to AI, the music world has been democratized like never before. But it also reignited debates around originality, artistry, and intellectual property.

Harness the Power

Prime Targets

Job Therapy

August 18, 2024 | Michael finds himself zoning out during team meetings, daydreaming about other careers and workplaces. Is it time for a change? Or is this just a normal phase of career ambivalence?
