As I was reading Blake J. Harris' book on the "History of the future", I was thinking about our journey into the legal tech adventure. Although Harris talks in his book about the rise of the 'Virtual Reality" and especially how a company like Oculus became the kickstart of a virtual reality revolution, I was thinking about the many amazing legal tech platforms that, in a way, are trying to do the same. We know for a fact what the history of the legal world entails, and the truth is that many of us are still living the history, although knowing how much it hurts us, we are resistant to change. When I think about the history of the future, I picture a...
Oftentimes we are seeking outside sources that would enhance our lives. Little do we know that all it is needed is inside ourselves. One cannot manage the other or the world, unless he learns how to self-manage. Because trying to change the world outside us would only expose us to a chain of unmanageable accidents, which we don't want. Again, because the only way for something we want to happen is to focus our energy over ourselves and become the best manager there can be; of our own lives. Stephen R. Covey names, in his book, the 7 habits that would allow us to become the better version of ourselves every single day: Habit nr. 1: Be proactive Habit nr. 2: Begin with the end...
We've touched this topic a few times in our journey and I am sure that there will be more to be discovered and revealed. It reminded me of a book I read a while ago on "Blue Ocean Marketing" which I found amazing. It basically talks about creating new markets as opposed to competing with the existing ones. Companies like Apple, Google or Amazon followed this path to some extent, which set them apart from the crowd. I personally find creativity an imminent element that has the ability to revolutionise our lives every single day. It is like a fuel to our inner and outer purpose. We have to agree at least on this one. However, why are there so few revolutionary companies...
Everytime I think of the word "purpose" my mind takes me to the very early years of my life when life seemed like a fairytale and an endless opportunity. I still think that way, although some of my very old dreams have been crushed quite a few times. I strongly believe that a life lived without purpose is a life not worth living. Purpose should show up in our lives as the alarm clock, as the meals we are choosing for ourselves everyday, the activities we do, the places we travel to and of course what we choose to do for living. One should not take this decision lightly. Our purpose should ignite our eyes just at the thought of it. Unfortunately, oftentimes,...
The concept of trust takes many shapes and forms in Rachel Botsman's book called "Who do we trust?". I personally found her book very unique and justifying with certainty the very famous statement, known to most of us "do not judge a book by its cover". Rachel Botsman managed to ask hundreds of people about what trust meant to them and to her surprise, the received answers were very different. What we know for sure is that trust is an interchangeable and constantly evolving concept. It is probably one of the most transforming terms that is constantly evolving and shaping our world. Without trust there will be no relationships, no institutions, no growth and what drives the growth today, technology? Rachel Botsamn defines trust as the...
