Did you know that Coca Cola shaped the figure of Santa Claus as we view the character today. Fascinating. Nearly 100 years ago people weren't drinking enough Coke during the winter, so the usual suspects (ad guys) put their heads together and concluded Santa Claus would be the perfect unofficial spokesman for their client's product. I guess it's why Santa's colors are the same as those on a can of Coke classic. You can read all about it below. Coke is the most recognizable brand in the world, so clearly tactics like retconning a beloved cultural figure, or releasing a chart-topping single about world peace to peddle your sugar water work. The question I've spent my career exploring is WHY do these tactics work? Clearly Coke is selling something other than sugar water, which means people are buying something other than sugar water when they scoop one up at the gas station or movie theater. I have my own opinion about what Coke is actually selling, but even if I'm slightly off, I'm a lot closer than Pepsi, who launched a series of nationwide taste tests in the 80's to prove consumers prefer their product. It didn't work. It's not about the better product. It never was. Read that again. If you've got a great product, awesome. Do you have a great story? Do you have great ideas? Are you selling your ideas in the information marketplace? You won't even get a chance to compete in the product marketplace until you do. Coke, and thousands of other brands, prove that stories sell product better than product sells product. Write your story.

Can you spot the guy singing backup vocals during Luke Bryan’s 2013 CMA performance of Drink a Beer? If you think you know, drop a comment. Why was someone with such incredible talent singing backup for a song they wrote? That’s when the words from the song hit me: “Sometimes a greater plan is kinda hard to understand.” A few years ago, I came across this performance during one of the hardest times in my life. I had just lost my best friend to cancer, was fighting to get sober, and felt completely stuck. Watching that video changed something for me. Here was one of the biggest stars finding his light. Just like stars, sometimes our light takes time to reach the world. We’ve all been there—working hard, doing everything right, and still not seeing the results. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: Effort compounds Diamonds are formed by pressure over time. Not every season is about the harvest. Sometimes, we’re planting seeds for something to grow. If you feel like you’re putting in the effort but not seeing the results, don’t get discouraged. There’s no such thing as an overnight success. You can’t always control the results, but you can control your process. Effort is like stacked pages—each one brings you closer to finishing your story. 👉 Takeaway: Keep showing up. Your moment is coming. “Sometimes a greater plan is kinda hard to understand.” #GrowthMindset #MentalHealthMatters #Mindfulness  #MentalHealthAwareness https://lnkd.in/gpResYrR

Navigating uncertainty in your career can be challenging, but it’s during these times that true leadership shines. Being the voice of optimism isn’t just about staying positive—it’s about inspiring others to see the potential in every situation. In moments of doubt, I focus on gratitude. I’m thankful for the incredible opportunities I’ve had, the remarkable people I’ve met, and the connections I’ve made. I’m especially grateful for the lives I’ve impacted, often without even realizing it. By staying calm, optimistic, and grounded in gratitude, we can turn uncertainty into opportunity. Remember, sometimes an ending is just the beginning of something extraordinary. #opportunites #optimism #staygrateful
