This Guy's Smart
![Today, while indulging in an episode of Schitt's Creek, I found myself immersed in the storyline, only to realize I had inadvertently skipped ahead to Season 5, Episode 9. My flatmate, who had already seen the series, pointed out my oversight. Reflecting on this moment, I realized how my career as a strategy consultant has influenced this ability to quickly grasp complex narratives and dynamics. Much like navigating the intricate plotlines of a television series, strategy consultants immerse themselves in understanding the storyline, roles, and characters of their clients' businesses, even when they're several seasons into their journey. Despite joining at their 'Nth season,' consultants approach each project with fresh eyes, aiming to craft a compelling narrative for the client's future success. This parallel between my leisurely TV viewing and my professional role reminded me of the unique perspective and skills consultants bring to the table. #Strategy Consulting #BusinessInsights #Schitts Creek" accenture](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/774/461/e75.jpeg)

Beating the System
![+ Follow Visit my website 2d We live in a society where people JUDGE you for making your own coffee. In my early career, I went broke buying Starbucks, just for show. But then I had an idea I went onto eBay and purchased 500 used Starbucks cups. Then every morning before work, I'd pour my homemade coffee into a Starbucks cup. And just like that... it worked, and I continued to get the respect I needed. And how did I get out of my debt? I'd also tell my coworkers I was "at Starbucks," and if they wanted anything they could Venmo me. How have you beaten the system?](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/774/459/2a8.png)

"Homeless"

Who knows. A year, maybe more. Where am I going? A bunch of places. One every few months until I'm done. Why? To mandate absolute focus on a very small number of things (Postman included), fortify my network with coworkers and old/ new faces, force minimalism, and cattle-prod my brain. How am I going to afford it? By renting out my house to cover Airbnbs. Sure, it was planned months in advance. There was prep work. I'm not just blasting off into the ether. But still. This could be a terrible idea, but it could also be genius — we'll find out. Wish me luck.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/774/457/669.png)
