“Make the text habitable, like a rented apartment… a space borrowed for a moment by a transient.” - De Certeau

Time is a funny thing. We have a finite amount of it.

We should spend wisely, in a way that provides us with joy, and freedom, and choices.

We should earn money with our time to secure financial freedom, for ourselves and our family.

Make writings, music, videos, posts, websites. In the broadest sense, we must make “media."

Media, to me, is best defined as a tool that stores and delivers information.

A TV show could be called “media,” but the Ethernet cable delivering the show to the PC or wireless router in your apartment? This is also “media.”

On HBO in 2017, in a segment entitled “Trump vs. Truth,” John Oliver talked about Donald Trump’s media diet.

Donald Trump is more than capable of standing in rain, and saying it is a beautiful sunny day.

In the words of Kellyanne Conway, Trump consumes many “alternative facts.”

Reader, what media do you consume daily?

If you changed this media diet, how would it affect your leadership, your firm, your family, or your country?

To produce media that others can inhabit, you must understand that words and actions have consequences.

Especially for a leader, who must be very wary of the media they let into their nervous system, because it influences the lives of those people they lead.

ACTION POINT: Have a healthy media diet.
