July marks the start of a new fiscal year for LinkedIn, and I’m excited to welcome the marketing team and the Economic Graph Research Institute, led by Chief Economist Karin Kimbrough, into my organization as we support our over one billion members and 68 million companies in reaching their professional and business objectives.   My recent discussions with customers suggest more optimism for the year ahead. Together we can create economic opportunity for members and customers in what continues to be a very dynamic environment and a new AI powered economy

Buckling up for 2024! 🚀 Most predictions we gathered and read show that we should prepare for 👀Cautious economic evolutions, conservative investments 📈increased interest in tech solutions that connect with larger societal changes – clean tech, health tech, and social tech are in focus 💡Bold ideas courageously built with solid business grounds have the highest chances of attracting investments 📣The markets will see new changes related to the larger adoption of AI and buzz around Gen AI and AGI 👨💼👩💼Politics are expected to influence many of the environments as is an election year in many places, including our own country with 4 consecutive election rounds. These may mean more reaching out and discussions about the business grounds for the ideas, more iterations and pitching, more efforts but clearer outcomes. Looks like a half-full context and we are focusing on it with optimism. Let's make it full, shiny, and memorable! #growingtogether #growsmart #smartgrowth #angelinvestors

Taking a moment to celebrate my dear friend Rupert, whose story was published by The New York Times last week. In the article, he spoke about the importance of passion in one's work, reflected on his 16 years at Google and his involvement in experimental projects. Now, he has founded his own AI consulting company, and we often discuss entrepreneurship. I was glad to hear that he was invited to share his insights because of… …his active presence on LinkedIn, where he daily shares his views on tech, AI, and digital art. It caught the attention of a New York Times journalist, leading to the invitation to speak. TLDR? Your engagement on LinkedIn can attract attention from top-tier media outlets organically, without the need for pitching or paid approaches. Let's prioritize organic growth and embrace the opportunities that arise from our passion for what we do. See the article below in the comments. What are your thoughts? In the meantime, Google shares recovered to the level these had end of 2021, after falling for almost a year (early 2022 to early 2023). #technology #innovation #passion #growth #culture #companyculture #AI #Google

66% of Generation Alpha prefer to buy from companies that make a positive difference in the world.  These kids have a completely different approach to consumerism. I'm calling them Generation Amazing or Generation Aware: Just like every other generation before, their potential for creativity and problem-solving increases.  It's going to be interesting to see how they grow especially as they have role models like Mr Beast who gives away money for a living.  They seem more in touch with brands that have the same approach to impact, their knowledge is greatly enhanced by the internet and sooner rather than later AI, which positions them to be the architects of astonishing advancements in every field. Research shows they are less interested in consuming products and more interested in being a part of solutions if we do our job correctly this could be the generation that could benefit the world the most. These are my kids and yours! I truly love learning more about them! I'd love to hear your thoughts! How do you see new brands shaping the next generation?

Be Limitless: Thriving in the Digital Age What a time to be alive! With so many tech breakthroughs, the power is truly in the hands of creators. In Jim Kwik's book Limitless, he highlights the challenges and opportunities we face in our digital age. Did you know we consume as much data in a day as a person from the 15th century did in their lifetime? This digital deluge can lead to brain fog and fatigue, but with the right strategies, we can stay sharp and focused. Here are some tips from Limitless to help business owners and entrepreneurs thrive: Digital Deluge: Schedule 30 minutes of tech-free time each week to clear your mind and spark creativity. Digital Distraction: Turn off unnecessary notifications to improve focus and productivity. Digital Dementia: Exercise your memory by memorizing important information regularly, such as key business contacts or critical processes. Digital Deduction: Make decisions without relying solely on digital devices to enhance your problem-solving skills and confidence. Reflect on how far we've come and harness your creativity and innovation. Whether you're leading a business or launching a new venture, your superpowers can drive change and success in this dynamic digital era. #Limitless #marketing #business #Innovate #AI #Hue18 #Inspiration #DigitalAge #motivation #sunday #socialmedia #sales #generativeai

https://lnkd.in/dNsaCJq5 It wasn't the pandemic causing depression etc. It's the gor'ram frikkin Social Media, Our mimetic nature (think: We compare ourselves we others constantly, even subconsciously it happens; it's how we're evolved to be!). AND other seemingly specific, misunderstood, & random phenomena. In THIS rather entertaining video presentation. PhukYew algorithms!

Back after a week of leave with no social media. 🖐 I love how communities like LinkedIn enable us to connect with people worldwide and build relationships across divides. But it's increasingly important to create spaces for deeper thinking away from the constant deluge of information we receive via technology. Research suggests that our use of technology is actively reshaping the way our brains form connections and functions. We're getting better at rapidly processing many different sources of information but struggle more with in-depth complex thought exercises. Canadian academic Marshall McLuhan famously wrote of technology, "We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter, our tools shape us.” We need to create space in our lives for both the uber-connected, rapid-fire online world and for the solitude required for deeper creative processes. ✌
