We deliver a real, human, emotional, immersive connection to work, by designing a more meaningful culture.

Every organization faces the Theseus Paradox. People come and go. Processes shift. Products evolve. But what stays the same? The Marine Corps doesn’t protect the planks—they protect the idea. That’s what keeps their culture intact. If you can’t define what stays the same in your organization, do you really have a culture? Maybe that should change.

Change is NOT the only constant- loss is. Loss is upstream from change, the central motif of the human condition. What we forget is that loss isn’t something that just happens to us. It's what makes and remakes us:

DEI programs are having their Geocities moment. The concept was right. The execution wasn't. Time for DEI 2.0: less PowerPoint, more design of inclusive and diverse cultures.

Dr. King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech almost didn’t happen. He planned to speak on "creative dissatisfaction" until Mahalia Jackson urged, "Tell them about the dream, Martin." In that moment, he transformed hearts and history—reminding us that love fuels freedom and dreams spark change. #MLKDay

Curiosity isn’t a strategy; it’s an operating system. Bill Gates didn’t vanish for “Think Week” just to read—he disappeared to wonder. The same hunger that got him into computers drove him to ask, “What’s next?” The lesson? Success isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you see. Hire curiosity. Reward curiosity. Build from the source, not the surface. Less “Do.” More “Be.”

We're made hungry for a reason. It's not just to drive us forward, it's to keep us alive. That's as true for Napoleon as it is for the S&P 500. What makes us thrive isn't reaching an end state. It's understanding that hunger itself is what makes us human.

There's nothing you can do to make people trust you. Oh, except saying only what you mean. Except doing exactly what you say you're going to do. Except standing up for what you know is right. @geriwithetc this post is for you!

The secret to human flourishing is that we never really arrive. Instead, we must do what Winston Churchill always recommended, even in the darkest days of World War II- “K.B.O.”- Keep Buggering On. Read on:

Corruption isn't a solo act. It can't be because it's cultural. It spreads top-down, normalizing unethical behavior. As NY Mayor Adams and Sean Combs (Puff Diddy) cases show us now, it infects entire systems until right and wrong are as clear as mud:

We don't expect leaders to be perfect. They’re damaged goods like the rest of us, but to underestimate their larger cultural impact is a fatal error. The fish rots from the head, and behavior is contagious. Whether it’s extending kindness or being a tool:

Culture isn't about walls, but what happens between them. We love in-person collaboration, but Amazon's office mandate misses that culture isn't built solely on place. It's built on purpose. Read on:
