Steve Wozniak: When I die, these are the moments I want to remember -
they don't involve co-founding Apple
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]    
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
In his speech, Wozniak recounted an article he once read about
ex-Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone. "He was flying around to one city to
sell a company for a billion of today's dollars, and then flying to
another one ... I thought, 'Wow. To have that kind of wealth and
power, would you want that when you die?'" said Wozniak, 73.

Wozniak's love of comedy once got him into trouble at the very school
where he spoke. In 1969, he was expelled from the University of
Colorado Boulder for hacking into the university's computer systems
and sending prank messages. He later re-enrolled in college in his
home state of California, before dropping out and eventually
co-founding Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976.

regarded road collisions. It has probably saved countless lives but
it's yet to be fully accepted by politicians.

If the COVID-19 vaccines were the most significant FDA approvals of
the 2020s so far, GLP-1 agonists to treat obesity are a strong runner
up.

Though these drugs have been used to treat type 2 diabetes for nearly
two decades, it wasn’t until 2021 that the FDA approved one of them
— Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy (semaglutide) — as a treatment for
obesity. Clinical trials showed that people lost 10-20% of their
body weight.

Productivity Experts Say 3 Things Will Help You Get More Done in Less
Time [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
Being productive is a big deal and a real challenge in today's world.
We're bombarded with tips and apps that promise to make us super
efficient. But what if we've been thinking about productivity all
wrong? What if the real key to reaching our full potential isn't about
squeezing every drop of efficiency from our schedules but about having
the right habits and mindset for sustainable, meaningful output?

Chances are, you're a busy professional juggling multiple priorities,
and you're probably looking for a competitive edge to keep you going.
Well, exercise works wonders for your productivity. According to
research published in Brain Science, regular exercise releases
neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin,
which increase blood flow and improve focus, reasoning abilities,
memory, and cognitive performance. Not only that, but it
improves mood, motivation, and learning abilities.

McDonald's Just Made a Brilliant Announcement, and Taught a

Here, I'm going to quote directly from the McDonald's marketing
materials -- not because I'm actually trying to get you to go to
McDonald's; that's up to you. But instead, because I think that once
you realize what's going on with this campaign, it's almost impossible
to stop seeing it:

The new McFlurry is sweet - just like grandma - and features a
delicious syrup and chopped, crunchy candy pieces (like grandma's
favorite treat that she hid in her purse!) - all blended in our creamy
vanilla soft serve.

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
However, he didn't set out to write bestsellers. James's journey from
basement projects to a multi-million subscriber list is a testament to
the power of resilience and adaptability. He turned early setbacks
into a strategic advantage, proving that sometimes, the best plan is
the one you never intended to follow.

Through his blog, jamesclear.com, his email list (3-2-1), and his
literary jackpot Atomic Habits, Clear has inspired millions
through the doctrine of simple habits. Now, he's also got a new habits
app called Atoms to help people apply the principles from his book in
their everyday lives -- making tiny changes to achieve remarkable
results.

Jerry Seinfeld's Message to Duke Graduates? Don't Forget to Laugh

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
You might call it the leadership quality you never saw coming, but
I've been a bit obsessed with it for years. This week, Jerry Seinfeld
gave a commencement speech at Duke University. While some graduates
walked out to protest his support for Israel, for those who stayed,
he delivered unexpected but timely advice for addressing life's most
challenging moments and inherent uncertainty: the indispensable value
of humor as a survival tool. 

His advice, while directed at graduates, rings especially true for
entrepreneurs and small-business owners, who constantly juggle
curveballs and pressure-cooker conversations while trying to deepen
relationships with prospects, customers, and team members. A sampling:

How to Keep Your Employees Engaged in a Highly Remote World

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]  
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
With less in-person work comes fewer opportunities to connect with
your people. The minute moments that helped keep your workers
engaged--one-on-ones, office chat time, lunch with co-workers,
brainstorming, and sit-downs--may be threatened if not recreated in
the modern-day workplace. 

Gallup reported last month that worker engagement in the U.S. has
declined to its lowest rate in over a decade: 30 percent. Many
companies have transformed in recent years to a remote or hybrid
workplace and now realize the effects it's had on its people.

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
There are more than 60,000 books on leadership on Amazon. There's
clearly a great deal of interest in the topic, but what surprises
me is how bad people are at leading given the immense resources on
the subject.

I've worked with and for members of Congress, presidential candidates,
C-suite executives, and countless other leaders -- when I think
about those experiences, observing leadership up close and reflecting
on what great leadership looks like, it was a valuably instructive
time.

But that's not necessarily the best method for effectively managing
one's time. In my work as a time management coach and productivity
consultant, I regularly help clients reframe their beliefs toward
time.

But there's decidedly a lot more going on at the other end of your
calendar. What about valuing that which you already have in your
schedule? How about managing your time through gratitude and
appreciation?

6 Strategies for Applying Work Hours to Your Own Priorities

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
Every dedicated business professional I know can't find enough
hours in a day to do their best work, and yet they often find
themselves saying yes to new requests from the people around
them. In some cases, it may be fear of retribution by the boss, but
more often they just hate to disappoint others and end up
instead with high stress and low credibility in a crisis to
deliver.

In addition to saying yes too often, professionals under
pressure often say no poorly, by attacking the requestor or by
avoiding any definitive response. Either of these approaches
usually makes a stressful situation worse, often leading to guilt,
burnout, and continuing accommodation.

Strategies to Retain Gen Z Candidates

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=1791&nl=daily]
Retaining Gen Z employees should be a high priority for
forward-thinking organizations aiming to maintain their edge against
the competition. As the newest cohort in the workforce, the next
generation brings unique values, preferences, and expectations,
requiring a fresh perspective on retention
strategies. By establishing intentional retention strategies
tailored to this generation's unique needs, companies can ensure the
longevity of their workforce and remain competitive in the market.

By proactively engaging with candidates early in their academic
journey, organizations can foster a sense of loyalty and commitment
among Gen Z individuals, ultimately leading to higher retention rates
and increased employee satisfaction. This proactive approach not only
streamlines retention efforts but also enables companies to cultivate
a loyal and dedicated workforce aligned with their long-term goals.
Communicating your values as an organization early and effectively
will encourage potential employees to take an interest in working with
you.

With 3 Short Words, American Idol's Katy Perry Just Taught a Powerful

There I was Sunday evening with my wife and daughter, watching the
season finale of American Idol in which Abi Carter took home the big
prize and Katy Perry made her final appearance, when I noticed that
Perry had posted a 5-second video on social media.

It's a longshot, I admit. But the article was about the commencement
speech at my college graduation many years ago, and how the
speaker ended with three key words that almost everyone who was
there remembered decades later.

The Complex Social Lives of Viruses

Ever since viruses came to light in the late 1800s, scientists have
set them apart from the rest of life. Viruses were far smaller than
cells, and inside their protein shells they carried little more than
genes. They could not grow, copy their own genes, or do much of
anything. Researchers assumed that each virus was a solitary particle
drifting alone through the world, able to replicate only if it
happened to bump into the right cell that could take it in.

This simplicity was what attracted many scientists to viruses in the
first place, said Marco Vignuzzi, a virologist at the Singapore Agency
for Science, Research and Technology Infectious Diseases Labs. "We
were trying to be reductionist."

An asteroid that has been wandering through space for billions of
years is going to have been bombarded by everything from rocks to
radiation. Billions of years traveling through interplanetary space
increase the odds of colliding with something in the vast emptiness,
and at least one of those impacts had enough force to leave the
asteroid Ryugu forever changed.

At the start of the spring of 2015, Jeffrey, a three-year-old meerkat,
was happily eating, tussling with his brothers, and surveying zoo
patrons from his usual perch, his forepaws gathered and his
black-tipped snout aloft. But one day in April, his caretakers
discovered him in his enclosure, so weak that he could barely lift his
head. By the time he was brought to Eric Baitchman, the head vet at
Massachusetts's Stone Zoo, Jeffrey was losing consciousness. Baitchman
nudged a tube down his patient's straw-size throat to help him
breathe; an ultrasound revealed a heart in failure.

Eight days later, despite a strict regimen of meds, Jeffrey was dead.
And within the next three years, both of Jeffrey's brothersâtwo of
the zoo's remaining three meerkatsâwould die in similar ways.

If the Iranian president turns out to have lost his life in a
helicopter crash, it will set off a fierce scramble for power.

Accidents happen everywhere, but not all accidents are equal. Many
hours after initial news broke about an "incident" involving a
helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country's
state media has still not confirmed whether he is dead or alive.
Various state outlets have published contradictory newsâWas Raisi
seen on video link after the accident? Was he not? Was the National
Security Council meeting? Was it not?âsignaling chaos and panic. A
source in Tehran close to the presidency told me that Raisi has been
confirmed dead, and that the authorities are looking for a way to
report the news without causing mayhem. I have not been able to
independently confirm this.
