Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Original
Reading Time: 4 minutes Entrepreneurs don’t wait for permission. They see a problem and start fixing it Most people think entrepreneurs are born, not made.

From blueprint to breakthrough: How AI and automation can transform the consumer enterprise

Let’s say a retail merchandiser starts the process of analyzing scores of sales data and making recommendations for stock adjustments.

How to overcome procrastination
Reading Time: 4 minutes Why leaving tasks until the last minute can sabotage your success I had a hard time writing this column.

Does spirituality in business impact success?
Does spirituality in business have an impact on success? The pastor was clear: “When you have God within you, the business you’re working with will thrive!” The words caught my wandering mind off guard and I tried to focus on what I’d just heard. I’d never heard anyone say from a pulpit that God could make a difference in business. In today’s world, the notion that anything religious could influence the ability of a business to thrive would seem ludicrous to most people. But I was curious.

2022 SEMA New Products Award Winners Announced!
LAS VEGAS, NV — We’re glad to be back in Vegas after a couple-year absence from the SEMA Show. And it’s not because of the crowds or the celebrities or miscellaneous hoopla surrounding the show (although Halloween in Las Vegas ain’t the worst). We missed seeing the stuff that really matters to the future of our hobby: the new products, latest trends and technologies, and cutting-edge hot rod builds. Fortunately for us, SEMA organizers get right into the heart of it.

How retailers can attract and retain frontline talent amid the Great Attrition
High attrition in retail is nothing new: annual employee turnover among frontline retail workers has been at least 60 percent for a long time. Retailers regularly face the challenge of replacing more than half of their store staff every year. But that challenge has grown amid record inflation and a continuing global pandemic: half of frontline retail employees are considering leaving their jobs in the next few months alone.
The Great Attrition in frontline retail--and what retailers can do about it
One out of five people in the United States works in the retail and hospitality sector, and at least half of frontline retail workers are thinking about quitting.

Has The Case For Ivermectin Been Hijacked By Anti-Vaccine Activists?
This article was written by Ed Prideaux (Twitter: @EdPrideaux) in collaboration with David Fuller. For the last few months, there has been mounting controversy around claims that the anti-parasite drug ivermectin could be a highly effective treatment and prophylactic (prevention) for COVID-19. But has the case for the drug been hijacked and infiltrated by anti-vaccine sceptics?
On Bret Weinstein, Alternative Media, Ivermectin and Vaccine-Related Controversies
Over the last few weeks, there’s been a growing storm over the claims that some of the Covid vaccines are unsafe, that ivermectin is an unjustly suppressed miracle drug and related concerns. Much of this storm has centred on the evolutionary biologists Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, hosts of the Dark Horse podcast.
An Investigation
This article is a detailed investigation of the claims made around ivermectin and vaccine safety by Bret Weinstein, Heather Heying, and their guests on the Dark Horse podcast. It is an attempt at a new and different form of journalistic inquiry, where we will be adding in new detail, corrections and updates as they come in (latest update 19th October). Rebel Wisdom is principally focused on the difficulty of making sense of the world and finding truth - or 'Sensemaking'.

As we try to make sense of the different narratives at play, we inevitably encounter deep rooted problems within our information landscape.
Talking with Fascists
This is a piece about the bounds of Sensemaking, the key distinction between censorship and moderation/curation, and the responsibilities that any and all of us have in this new media environment where all of us are effectively creators, curators and broadcasters. These are topics that I've been wrestling with for a long time, as a refugee journalist from traditional media who's now set up an outpost in the alternative ecosystem.

Risers & Fallers After Week 10
Sometimes, what you forget to say is just as (if not more) important as (than) what you remembered to. In looking back at my notes from last week’s article, I realized I missed a really good opportunity to make an important dynasty point: zig where others zag. It’s true in almost every scenario; redraft strategy, dynasty startup strategy, daily fantasy, and even trades (the tried and true “buy low, sell high” cliché). It’s equally applicable to life itself, but I’ll #sticktosports for now.
Your View: Voting for Biden? Be ashamed

You think $24 trillion of government debt equaling 98% of the GDP is OK.
