What do moonshots and Inclusion have in common? Nothing… yet. In my view, both need the same kind of individual, social and societal frenzy to take birth and succeed. In this context, there are some stories worth talking about, again and again, and this is one of them. What can a chance encounter, a feeling…
All the world’s a stage..
[My take on this famous poem by William Shakespeare..] Read that statement again, it’s an important one and often unnoticed. It is a super-to-possess trait, when read in the context of the power of individuality and influence, especially for leaders.

Rising up the ladder, or whatever
An interesting click, from an open roadside business that sells bamboo ladders. Now why do you think they have the chair plugged in there? Most probably a physical clickbait / eyeball grabber…?
