BREAKING: T-Mobile spent $8 million to air its Super Bowl commercial to announce that their @Starlink beta program will now be open to anyone on any wireless carrier for FREE until July. "There are over 500,000 square miles of the US unreachable by any cellphone tower; We've partnered with Starlink. We're inviting anyone on any wireless carrier to experience it for free."

I noticed that there weren’t any Black venture capitalists in Belgium so I decided to write a book about it. The Black Opportunity explores how the inclusion of black voices in VC space will shape the world for generations to come. Available on Amazon:

Alright, let’s talk about how board members are really selected—because, honestly, it’s not always about merit. People often ask me: How do you get on a board? The real answer? Luck, personal connections, shareholder preferences, and sometimes—just sometimes—actual merit. But let’s be real, merit is usually the last thing that matters. Think about it—highly skilled professionals go their whole careers without ever being considered for a board position, while others land board seats just because they know the right people. Now, let’s bust a big myth: Are board members always more knowledgeable than management? Nope. Far from it. Some board members got there by chance, not because they’re the best. They sit in meetings, nod along, say very little, and pretend to be in charge—meanwhile, companies struggle under their watch. In fact, some businesses might actually perform better without a board because instead of driving progress, some boards just slow everything down. And here’s something even stranger… Why do we appoint board members first and then train them on integrity? Shouldn’t we just pick people with integrity from the start? No amount of governance training will suddenly make someone ethical. What really matters? Boards should be filled with people who: ✅ Have real expertise in the business and industry ✅ Think critically and ask the tough questions ✅ Aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo ✅ Actually add value, not just warm seats At the end of the day, a board is only as good as the people on it. If selection keeps being based on connections rather than competence, we’ll keep seeing the same ineffective governance—and businesses will suffer for it. So, what do you think? Have you seen boards that actually make a difference, or are they just “boarding”? @ipcconsultants

Organizations with traditional Safety Health and Environmental Management policy should consider transitioning to Sustainability Policy. This will initiate the journey of incorporating the bigger picture. ESG is bigger than traditional Safety Health and Environmental Management
