    I have no data, but my intuition says her last name is pronounced “Sinjin.” Am I right? Am I right?

    With media and other related creativity categories I do understand this however, as a trader this is a very huge pill to swallow

    My intuition led me to develop a series of books & screenplays. My poor social class and lack of financials means it doesn’t matter, though. 💪😎🤟

    “Before I start, I must see my end.
    Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins.
    Upon my chariot, heart & soul’s fate revealed.
    In Time, all points converge–hope’s strength re-steeled.
    But to earn final peace at the Universe’s endless refrain,
    We must see all in nothingness…
    …before we start again.”

    Can anyone tell me what the last word she say “your intuition is actually ….?”. I can hear but I can’t find the exact word.

      She says “accurate.” 🙂

    Did she compare herself to Henry Ford? She’s very engaging but just cuz she bet on Beyoncé she’s all of a sudden oozing all this intuition.

    • Kristen T.

      December 7, 2021 at 3:17 am

      I think Henry Ford was brought up to illustate the point of how powerful anyone* can be for following their intuition under the right circumstances. Let’s not reduce the brilliance of her talk to the idea that she was just “lucky” with suggesting Beyonce for the Pepsi campaign.

    • dryzalizer

      December 7, 2021 at 9:18 pm

      If you look up her wikipedia page, she’s launched many successful campaigns for huge companies like Beats, Apple, Pepsi, etc. in her career. She was just telling the story of her first one.

    I have seen better days. Sometimes life is hard to take and it gets harder to take it all alone. But I am not alone! I have dreams to chase and melodies to surpass the dark days. I have limitless space to unfold my true potential. I’m the one who needs no one to fire up. ‘Cause I’m strong and I have a mind which is positively wired up.

Gaming gear company, Razer, is under scrutiny after falsely claiming their Zephyr face mask had an N95 grade. Why is a company mostly known for glowing keyboards making a high tech mask? And why are so many companies shipping out hardware that just doesn’t work and expecting people to pay? Hardware is hard, as we’ve seen with Humane’s Ai pin, Rabbit’s R1, and the Cybertruck’s faulty pedal.
