I saw a quote on LinkedIn the other day that stopped me mid-scroll. “I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.” Which is a polite, professional way of saying: Sir, the math is not mathing. And it struck me how profoundly true this feels […]
There’s something about the ridiculousness of lies that sometimes makes them amusing—especially when they spiral into the absurd.
