I think it was implied in my post yesterday, but I want to add it to “officially” add it to the list.
Pay attention.
Show up.
Listen.
Ask questions.
Be curious.
Pay attention.
Morgan Housel is on to something:
I have a theory about nostalgia: It happens because the best survival strategy in an uncertain world is to overworry. When you look back, you forget about all the things you worried about that never came true. So life appears better in the past because in hindsight there wasn’t as much to worry about as you were actually worrying about at the time.
Times were always simpler in “the good old days” because of how memory works.
When you see a nostalgia explosion, instead of jumping on the train, think about what it signals about how people are feeling.
Nostalgia ultra
This year, set your hot tub time machine back a decade.
Likely the same data we’ve seen this year, which is pointing to one very singular desire, shared across the whole spectrum of now very fractured online communities: Everyone wants to take a mulligan on the entire last decade. To turn back the clock to the web circa 2015, with the hope that it can somehow undo all the horrors between then and 2025.
Trends cycle in and out of favor. Sometimes the names change, sometimes they don’t.
Oh, and Mr. Beast is hiring for viral marketing positions.
