Jenny Johannesson excellently highlights a problem I've been concerned about for while now. Trend jumping when it comes to design. While the advent of companies like Squarespace and Wix.com make it easier than ever to create a website (which is a good thing), it is still important to remember that brand is the sum total of everything a company does and how it interacts with the world.

If you give in to it, your career as an entrepreneur will be short and unfulfilled." Dhiraj Mukherjee https://lnkd.in/gWrYXmn #startup #entrepreneur #founder …see more

Google searches for emotional intelligence in job applicants. In other words, Google looks for evidence of report cards that read: “plays well with others.”

Without the creative magic that attracts a fanbase, all the data in the world will amount to nothing but a bunch of meaningless numbers. Think about this...
