Founding a bank
INVESTINGWell, for one thing, you're going to need a computer running the obsolete operating system Windows Vista - YES REALLY! Also, if you can track it down, there was a two-part documentary back in 2012 in the UK called Bank of Dave which may be of interest - about a chap who tries to start a bank.- Mutant

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATI don't know where you are in the UK, but you could try looking at property rental companies that specialise in renting to foreigners, they're often used to being able to apply common sense to more unusual circumstances. For example, someone I know didn't really have much of an income in the UK...- Mutant

HOT! CHATSo apparently this was a Superbowl ad back in 1999, but it's new to me: I mean, that's a lot of people that would have seen that, I wondered how many people it really reached though. And I don't mean "influenced to use monster.com" And then of course the ad-industry parody: Just...- Mutant

Improving my sleep
HOT! HEALTHI take my sleep seriously, & one of the best things about lockdown has been a clearing of various sleep disrupters (i.e. going out in the evening) off the schedule. There's never been a better time to solidify your sleep schedule! As cycles are roughly 90mins, I tend to look at it as a sleep...- Mutant

The Big Dating Apps Are Alienating Their Stakeholders
HOT!I never used Tinder. Despite knowing serious relationships that have come from it (much like the post above me!) it's reputation of a hook-up app put me off. Plus it now sounds like it employs some weird money squeezing tactics. In the end it's a problem of filtering - either bots & sex...- Mutant

What are the benefits of being single for an entrepreneur?

Creating a Thriving Personal Brand w/ YouTube - A Journal & A Personal Guide.
GOLD! HOT!I honestly don't see it as that different. The topic of Tyler1 may be niche, but the topic of transforming a personal brand seems to fit right into the business/entrepreneur/money stuff you've done previously - at least to me. Also, I don't care that I hadn't heard of Tyler1. I think a lot of...- Mutant

HOT! CHATCongrats, today you learned that most b school students aren't there to learn to start their own business - they're there to learn how to work IN a business. They want that sweet, sweet corporate "security". A "good" job, a "good" salary, a pat on the head from parents & peers. Even plenty that...- Mutant

How Do You Celebrate Hitting a Big Milestone?
Ahh - you're in London! In which case - covid not withstanding - there should be all manner of ways you can be catered to. (Apologies if you know all of this, just trying to provide some inspiration in case you don't know, or just hadn't remembered some of it!) In terms of a nice meal like Kak...- Mutant

Which charities do you like to give to?

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATMy immediate thought process is: That'll fog up. Maybe they've come up with some kind of ventilation system so it doesn't? Actually wouldn't that defeat some of the point?

Is city life about to change forever?

Surrounding yourself with positive, successful people
PEOPLEFor a minute, I'm going to flip this. What do you want from them? You're narrowly defining what you have to offer them, so perhaps you're narrowly defining what you want from them too?
