Daily Grow with TODD Social

Welcome to Daily Grow, where each and every day, we take incremental steps to grow in a macro way. Today's topic and subject is discussing to AI or not to AI the raging question that's burning in people's minds and in their prompts, through their chat GPT, as well as in different aspects of the Internet. What is the dangers, the opportunity, and the ways that AI is changing our everyday society? Now, on the surface, we can look at some of the outliers or what may be preferred to discuss as issues. Obviously, data scientists, for anyone that's been paying attention, have been doing and creating AI artificial intelligence for decades, a very long time. So it's not like it hasn't been relevant in our lives. But we will discuss it.

How to launch a startup in turbulent times using new opportunities

Though it may seem that this time can not be beneficial for anything, every crisis clears up the slate for new achievements.

The distinguishing factor between effective and dysfunctional leaders is the mindsets the leaders possess.

Mindsets are the mental lenses that shape how people see and interpret the world around them. Dysfunctional leaders’ mindsets attune them to mishandling situations and making subpar decisions, while simultaneously leading them to believe they’ve taken the best course of action.

This may happen in every aspect of life but ultimately you have to break down the walls of dysfunction...Let's grow!!

Growing businesses are interesting and really there are two main frameworks and I think most people are stuck in one without necessarily thinking about the other.

So most people are doing what I call incremental growth. This is where people are looking at it from the perspective of how do I get slightly more traffic this month? how do I get slightly more leads? slightly more customers? can I get more traffic from Facebook? can I get a lower cost from Facebook? So here it’s really about growing incrementally.

But if you use vision, mission, and purpose in your passion to grow through fueling yourself, you could over transform your growth because you had more of an impact over temporary influence. This is how you maximize your growth potential.

Does IQ correlate with intelligence?

Validity as a measure of intelligence

While IQ tests are generally considered to measure some forms of intelligence, they may fail to serve as an accurate measure of broader definitions of human intelligence inclusive of creativity and social intelligence.

Lately, most of the articles that I read theorize how innovation methodologies and especially design thinking are either the absolute way to go or don’t work at all. Authors use pathos as the primary persuasion technique for the audience and end up with a simple conclusion — design thinking is either panacea or syphilis.

I started by asking myself a simple question — What value did we create and did we “produce innovation” at the end? To answer the question I reviewed my work as a facilitator from the last four years and I mapped out the types of companies and projects I have worked with and the results achieved. In reviewing the documentation I identified five things that were repeatedly identified as a benefit by the teams I worked with and their management.

I have mostly worked with organizations that do not have a track record in creating breakthrough innovations.

Because we were thinking the wrong way. We were thinking things are too impossible instead of making everything possible.

The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun", also spelled Sunzi), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to an aspect of warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare[1] and has influenced both Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, lifestyles, and beyond.

Now ask yourself. What if I applied that to my life or my business? How could I tactically maneuver throughout the world during this time of pandemic?
