Wow… This week has been so tense you could’ve cut it with a spoon! (Robinhood reference anyone?)

• Midterms rollercoaster is just about over.
• One of the largest Crypto Brokers goes bankrupt and the celebrities who endorsed it are being sued calling it a “Ponzi Scheme”
• There is a massive tech layoff happening
  • 11,000 Employees from Facebook
  • 10,000 from Amazon
  • Lyft, Robinhood, Stripe, Coinbase are all downsizing

I felt the need to ease the tension and do one of my favorite quick hits, which is Charts on Charts on Charts!

Before we go there, I thought these articles were worth sharing:

• Frailty Risk: The Risk your Clients Don’t want to talk about
• The Paradox of Effort, Innovation Waves, & More
  • “We only get old when we allow ourselves to stop learning.”
  • “…only through the consistent compounding of small daily actions that we can ever hope to deliver exceptional, effortless performances.”

Here are your Quick Hits:

Quote of the Week:

“I ended up as an activist in a very different place from where I started. I thought that if we just redistributed resources, then we could solve every problem. I now know that’s not true. There’s a funny moment when you realize that as an activist: The off-ramp out of extreme poverty is, ugh, commerce, it’s entrepreneurial capitalism.”

~ Bono
