How Do You Compete Against Tech Giants? Moonshots.

July 1, 2019 No Comments

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison It doesn’t make sense to challenge a bigger and better-funded competitor in an area where they have an asymmetric advantage. In other words, don’t compete with giants at their own game. Choose to play a game you expect to win. Playing a different game is a theme at Capitalogix. We believe that you control the game you’re playing, that you control the rules, how you keep score, and

Camp Kotok: Economists In Nature

June 24, 2019 No Comments

I was just in Maine at Camp Kotok, a private gathering of economists, fund managers, and other financial industry professionals. There was no cell phone service … so people had to talk with each other. Everyone went outside. And, people continued to fish, even when it rained. Craziness. At last year’s Camp Kotok, I did this interview withwith Bob Eisenbeis, Cumberland Advisors‘ Vice Chairman & Chief Monetary Economist. Check it out. Cumberland Advisors via YouTube AI is removing the fear, greed, and discretionary mistakes from financial

Committing To A Bigger Future

June 18, 2019 No Comments

I’m a big fan of picking a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (sometimes called a “BHAG”) and taking actions that move you in that direction. I’m also a big fan of Strategic Coach’s Bigger Future exercise. It is a 20-year planning exercise where you plan out your commitments and goals to yourself, your family, your career, and your legacy. While doing this, I realized that my ideal next 20 years involves taking Capitalogix to the next level (and beyond). As a result, I recently held a two-hour town

Remembering My Father

This year, I spent some extra time thinking about my father – and his influence on me and countless others. It’s been 20 years since my last Father’s Day with him. My Dad was incredibly loving and demanding. I recognize how much his vision of what I could become helped shape me. For example, after winning the State Championship in the shot put, my dad came down from the stands onto the field. He hugged me and told me that he knew

Visualizing The AI Revolution

I’m surprised how often I see people who are bearish on Artificial Intelligence. Many are stuck in science fiction’s depictions – sentience, personification, etc.. Modern AI is very different from science fiction predictions, but is still exciting. (Here’s an infographic debunking 8 common AI myths) Modern AI does many things and has many applications, but ultimately it’s relatively faceless. It works in the background, impacts everything it touches, and silently collects vast lakes of data. AI may not be Star Trek’s “Data,”
