GLOBAL FRIENDS, WE WANT THIS WOMAN TO RISE IN A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CA, USA - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. chose an uber successful Asian-American Silicon Valley businesswoman as his runningmate. GLOBAL POLITICAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE™ had the opportunity to listen to Nicole Shanahan on some USA National Kennedy volunteer calls. The one thing GPBI™ noticed most about Nicole Shanahan is that she is raw, unfiltered and honest. She does not hide her youth or her femininity. Shanahan does not pretend to he political, but she knows how to make a STRONG USA. She has been extremely candid about learning as she goes along how corrupt politics is and how globally interconnected the corruption and evil is. I am sharing this because I met Team Kennedy, and can assure the world 🌎 that nothing about the Kennedy Shanahan ticket was a stunt. These are the types of activists and business people we want in charge of government. We have had enough greasy politicians under the Mitt Romney UNIPARTY in the USA the past few decades. It was not difficult to source that the Romneys were directly behind $3B in MAGA PACs. Hence all the RINOs. Do note that Mitt Romney has now spoken out in support of President Trump, and his niece Ronna was removed from the RNC. It is also important to remember Kary Mullis, American biochemist, and the true #AIDS story and #PCR testing story. What is so striking about this video is that it explains that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in the United States manufactures DATA to stay "in business." https://lnkd.in/g3HeeMvu A former long-time, valued client of mine wrote a 2022 "SART Industry Report," in which she directly called out the CDC for being complicit in medical data laundering* - https://lnkd.in/gm26dWsf * This is strikingly similar to the Kary Mullis AIDS history. My former client and I sourced the two full-time staffers in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (Human Reproduction / IVF) at CDC responsible for looking the other way way with FALSE Human Reproduction / Human Gamete medical data being reported to CDC partner SART (Federal Agency - NFP Tax-Related Entity....IRS = Complicit, Asleep At the Wheel),

This is the take. Simon is right. Please do read it. And do consider its implications. In the #organisationdevelopment and #leadership community we of course abhor the injustices of racialisation and racism. We are, are we not, good people whose work is grounded in values and principle. This is not good enough. The dust will settle. For many, white folk, our urgency and realisation will fade. This week I have felt more keenly than ever the deep sorrow, rage and love that #antiracist work evokes in me. I must hang on to, feed, and act from and with those feelings. #OrganisationDevelopment and #Change practitioners and practice must remember and demonstrate our foundation is in social justice work. We must actively work to dismantle structural racism, show racialisation to be the heinous crime that it is, stand firm and ever strive in our commitment to equity and belonging for everyone. Not just because it is right and we are good. Because the inhumanity of this demeans and diminishes us all, including those of us who, like me, can leave the house never having to fear abuse and attack on us, or our families, because of the colour of our skin.

A simple solution to BookMyShow fiasco is to issue tickets that are linked to a person’s identity (like flight tickets). This will prevent black marketing and genuine fans can get a chance. #coldplay #blackmarketing #bookmyshow #coldplayindia

One of the things I love about working at Marks, part of SGS & Co and about doing WTF is seeing whats going on outside my region (US, specifically Ohio) and then getting to compare and contrast that with my colleagues. Tingyi Yuen and I worked on a piece together about the popularity of microdramas. Starting in China and now rising in popularity in the US. I'm curious, would you watch an entire show in 1-minute long increments? You can find our video @whythinkforward linked below 👇🏻

From Funnyman to Brand Icon. Alright, let's talk about Ryan Reynolds. We all know him as the hilarious Deadpool, but I want to delve deeper. This guy's a branding ninja in disguise! Here's why, Ryan Reynolds is a storytelling masterclass for any brand looking to break through the noise: 👾He Hacks Authenticity: Forget celebrity endorsements. Ryan pokes fun at himself, his movies, even his own damn commercials. This kind of self-aware humor disrupts the usual inauthentic marketing BS and builds real connections. 🗡️Social Media Samurai: His Twitter? A masterclass in engagement. Witty banter, unexpected turns, and playful jabs at his "frenemy" Hugh Jackman? Pure gold. Keeps everyone glued to the screen, wondering what he'll do next. 📜Storytelling Through Action: Remember when he bought Aviation Gin and turned it into a pop culture phenomenon? Actions speak louder than ads, people. Ryan understands the power of weaving narratives around his brands. 🍇 Community, Not Consumers: He doesn't just talk AT you. He interacts with fans, celebrates their creativity, makes them feel like part of something bigger. Remember the Mint Mobile year in review video entirely made by fans? Genius. My Branding Takeaways: 😂 Self-Deprecation is Your Secret Weapon: Don't be afraid to show your human side! A little humor can disarm your audience and make them receptive to your message. 🗣️ Become a Storyteller, Not a Shouter: Move beyond product features. Tell engaging stories that resonate with your audience on an emotional level. 💕 Turn Fans into Family: Social media isn't a one-way street. Foster conversations, celebrate your fans, and make them feel valued. They'll become your biggest advocates. Ryan Reynolds is more than just a pretty face (and let's be honest, the man's undeniably good-looking). He's a branding master who gets the power of storytelling. So, tell me in the comments below – what are YOU doing to make your brand story stand out? #branding #marketing #storytelling #ryanreynolds #engagement #brandinfluence #marketing 🤘🏼Let's get this conversation going.
