When you’re explaining, you’re losing. #AI #ComputerScience #Education

Always Pay Every Cent. Over the decades, I’ve had more than one CFO come to me and say, “We don’t have to pay that, Kibby. There’s a provision in the contract that lets us claw back bonuses or equity that go beyond the pale.” My answer was always the same, we are paying every

Most people don’t change, they just die the same person they always were. True story. And, it’s just a choice like any other.

"Just Assume Positive Intent." Oh how we all love to create stories about the ‘agendas’ of those we work with — and even those we love. Just assume positive intent. One of the core values of Grade Potential, a Board and team I’m proud to serve — and one of the most powerful

Is Gen Z Unemployable? Silliness. Pick any century and ask, “Is it hard to find good people?” You’ll hear the same nonsense — this generation has the wrong values, is lazy, has no ambition, doesn’t want to work. People who say this are often (always?) just lazy recruiters. I

Anything Else is Just Lazy and Cowardly… “We need a certain number of B players, right?” Nope. Imagine interviewing for a Head Coaching position at Penn State. The Athletic Director asks you about your philosophy on talent. “We need mostly A’s..and..of course..some B players

Be More Interesting.. My first business partner out of college was a wicked smart guy from Lake Forest, Illinois. PhD/MD parents. Well-traveled. Well-read. He was the creative. And, tbh, the closer, too. Me? I was the poor kid from Chicago’s South Side who joined the Army at

There is no more "wait and see" any more. Wait in this new AI world and you and your career and your business will be done - even in the trades - those trades that use AI to operationialize talent, excellence, and profits will win. The rest? Gone. #NewWorldOrder #AI

I will persist. I do not identify with limits. Talent? The world is stacked with it. Table stakes. Expertise? At our fingers (AI, anyone?). Persistence? Determination? The ultimate differentiators. Omnipotent. For the willing. BK PS - Have a great day - let's go!

How to Give All the F’s… and None at All. A Full Potential Life. My oldest texted the family chat: “I like the fact that Dad truly gives zero f’s.” I smiled and replied - Yes and no. If you want a full-potential life, financial freedom, and a resting HR of 36, you have to give
