tell people they were right all along

 

You cannot make people change their worldview easily. It is far easier to tell people they were right all along than to convince them they were wrong. Meet people where their beliefs already are.

Seth Godin

Everything he wants

 

Warren Buffett: “I have everything I want in life.” “I could have ten houses instead of one. Would I be happier? Never. I could have ten cars instead of two. I wouldn’t be happier. That would drive me crazy.” ↓ “I could have a 400-foot yacht. But then I’d have to manage a crew of dozens. Some would steal from me. Some would fight with each other. Who knows what else would happen? If I wanted to be a ship captain, I’d have gone into a different profession.” ↓ People think wealth is having more things. But true wealth is; Not having to buy things you don’t want, Not having to work with people you don’t want, And being able to use your time as you wish. That is the essence of financial freedom. (Charlie Rose, 2009)

You don’t have to engage

Brunson regarded his critics. “There’s a lot of people that have a lot of negative stuff to say,” he said. “But when you prove them wrong, you really don’t have to say stuff to them.” 

Even on a planet consumed by friction, with a media/tech ecosystem designed to monetize public anger by rewarding rudeness and confrontation, you don’t have to return volley, you don’t have to engage. You can just…ignore it. 

“They don’t deserve it,” Brunson said. 

Wait, was that the high road? In the open air? In 2026? Jalen Brunson had offered a rare sighting of public civility. He was right. There’s power in refusing to enter the fray.

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are all united in faith and in our commitment to living the gospel. But unity does not mean uniformity. Our church congregations are like a beautiful mosaic—rich with diverse backgrounds, talents, and experiences.    I invite each of you to find and recognize your gifts so that you can use them to bless others and move the Lord’s work forward.

In our day, with social media, artificial intelligence, and all the technology of our modern age, it is very easy to be misrepresented or to misrepresent the intent of others. Let us be determined to be completely honest and most generous as we speak of others.

The best product in the world

You’re doing sales because you failed at marketing. You’re doing marketing because you failed at product.

Marc Andreessen just revealed the Elon Musk philosophy that completely broke his brain: "The best product in the world shouldn't even need a logo." We all know Elon is relentless about quality. As Marc puts it: "Do you want the best car in the world or not, right? Like that's Elon's mentality... And it's working very well." But at a recent event, Elon took this mindset to a completely different level. He dropped a perspective so jarring that Marc initially thought it was a joke. Elon’s thesis? "You shouldn't even have to have your name on the product. It's just obvious. Everybody knows." The logic is brutal but simple. If you build the undeniable, undisputed best thing in the world, everybody uses it. And because everybody uses it, you don't need to slap your branding all over it to prove it's yours. Think about that. We spend endless hours agonizing over marketing, tweaking brand colors, and putting our logos on every square inch of what we build. But the ultimate flex isn't a flashy logo. The ultimate flex is building something so undeniably brilliant that its mere existence is the brand.
