669 EXTRA Solve A Need And Always Win
During tough times, humans focus on needs (how do I pay for my mortgage) instead of wants (crumbl cookies) so if you want to build a startup that lasts, focus on a need. Take your needs and wants, split them up, then dig into your needs. See gaps? Those white spaces could be your next billion-dollar startup. --- https://ideateandexecute.com

668 EXTRA P2P Is The True Power Of The Internet
The most powerful aspect of the internet is its ability for it to connect any human being with any other human being. The critical moments for this occurred when blogs, podcasts, and early Twitter allowed anyone to set up a soapbox and create their own audience. Since then, more and more middlemen and censors have sullied and broken that connection, bringing us back to the days of a small group of humans broadcasting to the rest of the world. We need to make the internet person-to-person again. ...

666 EXTRA The Metaverse Is Not There Yet
How many of you are watching this video or listening to this podcast from the metaverse? Probably none of you. I don't think the metaverse will become a thing until we have figured out how to bypass our human senses themselves. Interesting also that humans can't differentiate between a memory from a past watched video and a past visit? --- https://ideateandexecute.com

665 EXTRA The Future Will Be Personalized
The future will not be futuristic unless you want it to be. We will have fewer gadgets, not more. Technology will become so integrated into the world around us that it will be magical. Your reality will be personalized to YOU. --- https://ideateandexecute.com

664 EXTRA Content Wars: Bots Vs Bots
The latest prediction is that by 2026, 90% of online contact will be generated by AI. Eventually, it will be bots generating content for bots to filter for our use. Bots will even create content so compelling that it may eliminate human creators completely: once the tech gets advanced enough it will be able to create perfect music, tv, and movies that appeal directly to you. --- https://ideateandexecute.com

658 EXTRA Personalization Is The Future Of Work
Why does the world of work seem to be in such turmoil?

654 EXTRA The Big Lie: Most People Lie All The Time
Since most people lie all the time, you must watch what people do. This is why Design Thinking is closer to reality than market research. But even that is sullied: people will act differently based on the situation that they happen to be in. Maybe this is why there is always a disconnect - we can never be authentic enough with anyone until we actually DO. --- https://ideateandexecute.com

652 EXTRA Shocker! Is Twitter 80% Bots?
A recent report puts Twitter at 80% bots and spam - if true, does that prove that the Dead Internet Theory is true?
