Pakistan badly needs the Strait of Hormuz to open for business or they'll be caught with their "pants down", much to the displeasure of the US, their new self-selected master, I mean pal. 🇵🇰 🇺🇸
Would make India happy though. 🇮🇳

"Trade security for opportunity." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
---You'll never pivot if you don't take on the risk!
When I was trying to decide many years ago if I should leave the corporate world and become a freelancer, my fear told me I was trading a "sure thing" for a "wild gamble." My colleagues thought I was leaving a safe harbor for a volatile ocean. Even before that, they were busy hammering home to me that I was making a mistake by abandoning the safe world of accountancy for some unknown career emerging in global connectivity.
But I also knew that something big was happening, and I wanted to be a part of it. I traded my future security for the opportunity that lay in front of me.
That taught me a valuable lesson that not only guided me throughout my career, but also became core advice for my corporate clients. And in fact, three decades of advising global leadership teams have taught me a brutal truth: the gamble isn't the pivot; the gamble is staying put.
As someone who speaks and writes about disruptive trends, I’ve watched far too many "safe" industries dry up and "secure" corporate giants crumble because they were anchored to a past that no longer existed. They refused to take on bold new risks to chase a disruptive opportunity. And in a high-velocity economy, here's what we know: focusing on certainty is the wrong thing to do.
The fact is, if you are anchored to a static model, you aren't safe.
You are a stationary target for disruption.
True security doesn't come from chasing safety; it comes from the agility you build when you choose to navigate change. The wrong path is the one that promises safety because it's often a dead end.
The right one - the one that involves risk and uncertainty - is the one that usually offers growth.

Vegas, 2025, Part III

Four hours of #blackjack today. Brought $2,000 to the table. Up $1,150. This is very unusual. It's tough to earn 50% of your bankroll, but to do it in fewer than 10 hours is nearly impossible. The only reason I stopped is because I'm fungry. #Vegas #gamble

#Unilever Plc will keep making #Cornetto and Carte D’Or in #Russia even after shedding its global ice cream unit.
Companies like Unilever condemned Russia’s invasion but finding buyers for the assets of “unfriendly countries” is challenging and incurs a large exit tax. #Mondelez, #Nestle and #Procter & #Gamble are among the Western multinationals that have maintained large operations in Russia.
