I just updated this post about my marketing psychology database product. I also found that I have a lot of posts that were marked as paid. Check out the updated Substack!
Hi Kathleen, I have been in this space, which can be debilitating. I felt this throughout my PhD journey, despite so many wonderful reassurances by friends, faculty, and my dissertation chair. I half-jokingly said during my graduation speech, "I want to get out of here before you decide my degree was a mistake!"
Thanks for sharing such a timely and appropriate post!
I do understand, Dr. Taylor. Mine wasn't in medical school, but in nursing school, it was rough. I think they're more lenient now but back then it was very hard. So glad we both made it through.
I agree about the leniency. Seems like education is getting softer, at least in certain fields. (and just call me Larry. No need for the Dr routine. Just another guy who's had a crazy thirst for learning.
Any Tariffs imposed will also affect the American people, and it will cost us more money for goods that are imported into our country. I don’t know what part of that equation Americans don’t get no matter what their party affiliation.
Trump, the Conservatives, and MAGA want energy independence, which will take time to achieve. We still rely on Canadian crude oil, so a 10 percent tariff would raise American gas prices. However, as an America-first conservative, I’m willing to deal with some temporary pain.
well, actually, Colleen it will be anything imported from Canada or Mexico and we import more than just gasoline.
Plus, he said during the campaign that gas prices were gonna drop really low. . it's been put on a 30 day hold, but you know how the government works. I do on Regional level, I worked for them five years.
It's gonna hurt the American people too. I mean there's a way around this. There's no reason to put these tariffs on these countries that are in the American union and people don't even know what the American union is.
It was started back in Daddy Bush's day and we joined with Canada in Mexico, so we're not as separate as people think we are I mean it's really all a lie. Total deception from both parties.
And you know, as I stated before I vote more conservative, but I don't like it and as Americans, we can talk about it and agree to disagree. I know some people aren't like that, but you are and so am I 🤗
Yes Canada and Mexico, but my article focused on Canada. That said, I don’t support open borders - at all - and I’m happy Trump doesn’t either. Our southern border has been a mess under the Biden Regime. So I have no issue with tariffs against Mexico, despite higher prices on some goods for Americans. I’m happy Mexico has agreed to cooperate. ~~ Our northern border has become a problem, also. So I’m also glad Canada agreed to cooperate.
I’m America-first and I support Trump’s policies. So we can agree to disagree. 🙂

Not entirely related, but this made me think of Walt Disney’s approach to building Disneyland. He designed it with a cinematic vision, ensuring every detail felt human and immersive, driven by storytelling rather than just functionality. I went there last summer to experience it again, after I read his bio.
Yes! he is among a few founders and business leaders who understand the importance of art in business. That's why I believe there is something called "Business Artistry."
I wrote about finishing our volunteer work with RVICS. Between the weather and illnesses, it was a miracle that we accomplished so much. It is so rewarding.

Trump’s Tariff Triumph: An American's Perspective
Do I agree with what I've heard from Canadians? - https://patriotcolleen.substack.com/p/trumps-tariff-triumph-an-americans

I think we agree more than we disagree and I definitely don't believe in open borders without borders. We don't have a country.

Hi Warren, I tried to click the link, but it gave an error. Just pointing it out. Maybe it's on my side?
The link is working for me.
Is anyone else having trouble with it?
Now it works. Strange. In any case, just wanted to let you know :)

Cinematic storytelling is hard to define in academic terms, but easier to give examples of, like this one.

Thank you for sharing this Nir. I didn't know this about Walt Disney but I love his thinking. He wanted to give people a unique experience.
And I feel the best storytellers are the ones that rouse emotions in you rather than writers who tight plotters, and cinema is the same.
You may not always remember exactly what happened in a great film but you'll always remember how it made you feel.
Happy it helped. In that case, you might want to check this piece I wrote about it. 👇🏽

I loved it Nir. I love this quote in particular.
“The most important aim of any of the fine arts is to get a purely emotional response from the beholder.”
That should be the aim of creativity and storytelling.
Yes! he is among a few founders and business leaders who understand the importance of art in business. That's why I believe there is something called "Business Artistry."
