Strike Labs LLC’s Post

In 2000 I bought a one-way ticket from Denmark to the US. In that time: Lived through: ✅ 3.5 recessions ✅ A global pandemic ✅ Countless terrorist attacks ✅ Several wars And I’ve been laid off a few times. First in 2000 when my first company folded in the dotcom crash. And then in 2006 when my company ran out of money. This was 2 months before my son was born, and it was terrifying. But somehow, we have way more grit and resilience than we initially give ourselves credit for. For me personally, these were moments that gave me clarity about what I wanted in life, clarity about who I wanted to be, and clarity in doing everything I could to manifest that. The person you become on the other side of hardship is usually 10x better than the person you were before. So here’s to all of you who are going through hard times. They don’t last forever. And they will make you stronger. We are all rooting for you. #throwbackthursday #resilience #determination 

So, like a lot of other people in the tech industry I have been thinking about what happened with Crowd Strike. What change can be made in the industry to make sure small mistakes do not cause so much damage again. I have two words, BETA TEST! Why was this change rolled out to everyone all at once? In the future, first deploy all changes to a small subset of customers who run non critical systems. Allow those customers to have some preferential treatment (reduced price, higher level of support...) in exchange for their willingness to be the first subjects to experience new and unproven features. I know, it is always easier to step in after the fact and say what should have been done. But, as I have not yet seen any mention of the need for beta testing, I thought it should be mentioned.

🚀 Exciting News Alert! 🌟 Today, I'm back in the real-estate space, starting something new. Back in 2021, I joined Strike to shake up the industry, and you know what? We kind of did. In the end, Strike acquired Purplebricks, which was a really big and exciting thing, but I decided to move on - it wasn't a journey I wanted to go on. But, that taste left me wanting more. I wanted to solve even more customer challenges and move the property industry away from the status quo. What happens now? I start working on designing something new and exciting, which hopefully helps solve some of the major challenges facing buyers and sellers in the real estate sector.

🚨 New Video Alert! 🚨 Have you ever heard of a strike so brief it barely made a ripple? In my latest YouTube video, I delve into Bethesda's 1-day strike and explore why it turned out to be a complete failure. From the motivations behind the protest to Microsoft’s reaction (or lack thereof), this video breaks down the key reasons why the impact fell flat. This case is a powerful lesson in understanding the complexities of workplace movements, especially within industries as dynamic as gaming. It’s also a reminder of what it takes to make real change when facing corporate giants. Check out the full analysis to learn more about what went wrong and the lessons we can all take from it. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gGnGwyFF #GamingIndustry #CorporateCulture #Bethesda #Microsoft #LaborMovements #IndustryAnalysis #NewVideo #GamingNews

Think SMARTER, not harder. My old boss taught me this adage about 22 years ago. I have used it ever since. I still remember the first time I used it in my OWN business. When I first started my company, I found myself giving the same demonstration of Wink, Inc.'s AnnuitySpecs tool over and over and over again. And then- I decided to work smarter. Instead of spending fifteen minutes of demo time, 20 times a day, I recorded a demo, and directed folks to my website to watch it. This allowed me to work on growing a new segment of my business: "Wink's Sales & Market Report." And what do you know? More people subscribed to my website than I was able to capture personally, on the phone. In the most recent issue of Broker World, my friend Charlie Gipple, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC® of CG Financial Group, LLC gives some similarly great suggestions for working smarter, not harder. #ThinkSmarterNotHarder #BrokerWorld #CGFinancialGroup #Wink #WinkIntel #AnnuitySpecs #WinksSalesAndMarketReport #Storytelling #IntelRockstar
