What Can We Learn From Musk?

January 16, 2024 7:28 am

I recently finished the new Elon Musk biography by Walter Isaacson.  Elon Musk has always been polarizing if you’ve followed his meteoric rise as a silicon valley entrepreneur.

Years ago, my father would talk about an article he read about the speed of business change.  This article used an analogy of change to the flow of water. This change used to be like a small steam that eddied and occasionally pooled before flowing on. Over the years, this stream became a river full of rapids and unrelenting water as it rushed by. If you are a swimmer or a boater, you used to be able to relax in a small pool or in calm water before you hit a set of rapids
