O Captain! My Captain!

We all have a story, when you were born your parents hoped with all their hearts that you would never endure hardships or suffer in any shape or form... Fortunately the world does not work like that. I believe its the hardships and mistakes in life that teach and mold you to become who you are and become so much more than your parents ever thought you would be.

Think about the closest 3 people in your life, then think about the closest 5, maybe even if you are a very social person think about the closest 7. How much do you know about their life? Their accomplishments, their secrets, their mistakes... It does not matter if they are your children, wife, husband, best friend, cousin, etc. you live in a bubble about them. It is one of the most humbling experiences in life to GET TO KNOW someone's hardships.

Some people have lives through poverty, hunger, pain, sickness...
Some people are so poor all they have is money...
Some people dream of having half of what you do. Some, hide their pain and struggles so well that they are only happy in their social media pictures/videos.

Today I invite you to burst the bubble. Gain some perspective about were you stand. Do not be careless, do not be rash; find the space to open your eyes to the REAL world around you. Some people think miracles are medical recoveries, winning the lottery, becoming rich when you were born poor... The truth is miracles are so much more than that, a single parent with 3 kids being able to provide for them AND take the time to meditate in silence. A widowed man finding love again in a hobby to take his mind off sadness and more into gratefulness. A orphan kid finding a loving home where to grow in.

You worry about your problems
But then again, don't we all? Have you EVER had someone else reach out to help you? To listen to you? Even when they did not have to.

Being humble has nothing to do with you
Being humble is about realizing the reality that YOU are HERE
That Life Exists, that you do some things to live
But you have to find things to LIVE FOR
That when it's all done...
Legacy makes dollars insignificant

Let the tech year unfold...

The new Apple event was announced a couple of days back. And my last tech-episode on the podcast got me thinking about this year and the current "trends" in tech. I believe that Apple has one of the biggest challenges you could ever hear in front of them: adapt to survive WHILE BEING ON TOP. Steve Jobs was an amazing underdog, a creative mastermind that rose to the top of the tech community at his time and shot Apple like a rocket to the summit of the world as one of the most influential and prosperous companies ever... However, that IS NOT the company that Tim Cook has had to deal with. Apple is now working in saturated laptop and smartphone markets and is trying to maintain its innovation and creativity. People think it is easy to stay on top... Amazon has had to get all kinds of creative by entering product line, new services offers and buying pieces of the market they compete in as they did with Whole Foods. Facebook is saved by the quality of companies like In

What does Captain Marvel MEAN to the MCU?

So, here's the deal. I did a podcast entry about captain marvel and my thoughts on the movie and how unimpressed I was about some things and how glad and proud other parts of the movie made me. And that’s when it came to me: the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Captain Marvel was not the best movie, it was a necessary one. Clearly, the end of an era approaches quickly as April is almost here with Endgame. Do you think for a minute that Kevin Feige is done with his plan for the MCU? Do you think that they introduced the world to such great successful Black Panther, Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy AND Dr. Strange just because? Well if you do, you have something else coming your way… And that is the only thing I fear in the MCU. You see, the success story of Marvel has been with a great formula and an expansive universe that has great comedy, range and plot; that same amazing formula has been leading up this very important and climatic movie call

Apple's Endgame

So, here we are. Apple announced hardware via internet and called everyone in for services… Was the latter part of the presentation awkward? Yes. Could it have been planned in a more effective way? Probably. However, we got what we got and we must understand that Apple does not act without a plan. Here is my analysis of the true importance behind the event this past Monday: The Mac, the iPod, the MacBook Air, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch these are all attempts at products to drive the business. Some way more successful than others, they all have made what Apple is and will continue to be today. You see, there is a commonality amongst those products… They are not services. And THAT is exactly what Apple told the world on Monday: services are the future. Does this mean that it is THE END for iPhone, Apple Watch, etc. etc.? HELL NO! It means that the market is the market! And the iPhone is stagnating and decreasing in sales, the Mac, iPad and even Apple Watch cannot sus
