Five lessons from week one of This is Strategy
- The launch of a book affects how effectively its idea spreads
- Focus too often falls on reaching new readers instead of harnessing excited, established fans
- A book-focused culture should celebrate the true fans and create scaffolding for the idea that will help it spread

- Successful non-fiction books are a souvenir of an idea that has spread and is worth understanding
- A mindset of abundance creates conditions for people to step up, discuss it, and take action
- Publishers should embrace new, promiscuous ways to share ideas
- The book launch is an opportunity to encourage conversation for years to come, not just raise temporary hype
- Abundance allows room for gratitude and acknowledgement of those involved in creating and delivering an idea of value

The 4 Biases Holding You Back from Embracing Change
- Changeability is the key skill for future-proofing ourselves and the capacity to drive and embrace change as a path to a better future.
- Entrepreneurs must stay flexible as speed of changes means that the only constant is change itself.
- Our biases, the mental shortcuts our brains take, can often sabotage our ability to adapt, keeping us tied to outdated beliefs and practices.
- The 4 most common biases that can hinder our ability to embrace change include anchoring bias and availability bias.
- Confirmation bias and loss aversion bias can also limit our ability to see positive potential in change.
- Recalibrating your mental equation of losses versus gains and creating a culture of open dialogue can help dismantle these biases.
- Active listening and empathy play crucial roles in understanding initial reactions to change.
- Recognizing our biases is not about eliminating them but learning how they shape our decisions as leaders.
- By addressing the biases that hold us back, we open the door to new opportunities-to grow, innovate, and help our teams thrive.
- According to Daphne Leger, our brains are hardwired to seek predictability and routine, often interpreting change as a potential threat.

David Marcus: From PayPal President To Bitcoin Believer
- David Marcus, the former president of PayPal and Meta Messenger, is now focusing on building on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network with the Lightspark team.
- The Universal Money Address (UMA) standard was launched one year ago and has since brought about new capabilities for tipping, paying for subscriptions, and invoicing.
- Lightspark announced a new Bitcoin Layer 2, Spark, which is compatible with Lightning and allows users to use bitcoin and stablecoins non-custodially.
- Marcus believes that Bitcoin is the only asset and network that is neutral enough to become the internet of money.
- Two of the main issues holding Bitcoin back are the lack of self-custody wallet support and no native way to travel stablecoins. Lightspark aims to solve these issues through Spark.
- UMA Request and UMA Auth enable businesses or e-commerce sites to request money from a wallet for a transaction that can be settled on Lightning, and allows users that are UMA-enabled to delegate push and pull of funds with user set limits.
- For Bitcoin to become the open standard for moving money on the internet, Marcus suggests that the network must be open, self-custody wallets must be supported and fast, and stablecoins must be able to natively travel on Bitcoin.
- Lightspark aims to make Bitcoin the internet of money by building new capabilities, while also working with the entire community to build and contribute to efforts that can ultimately extend it to mainstream consumers.
- Marcus is excited about the progress Lightspark has made in solving the capabilities required for Bitcoin to become the open internet for money and is looking to find entities that share that vision and will execute it with them.

Silicon Valley Upstart Wants to Make You Data-Rich with World’s First Data Wallet
- DrumWave has launched the dWallet platform, a first-of-its-kind system that will enable individuals and companies to contribute data and monetise their digital footprint.
- Individuals can now transform their personal data from a cost centre into a profit centre, with the help of an infrastructure of user-friendly interfaces, allowing for greater data sovereignty and valuation.
- The launch comes as the global data monetisation market surges: valued at $3.4bn in 2023, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 25.8% through 2030.
- DrumWave CEO André Vellozo says all consumers are data-poor and need to become data-rich, as traditional banking and currency become increasingly outmoded and ownership of data is paramount.
- The sophisticated infrastructure of the open, cloud-based architecture enables seamless integration for data agents and developers while maintaining controlled access to data in its original location.
- Brittany Kaiser, newly appointed as DrumWave’s Chief Evangelist, highlights the platform’s transformative potential: “For years, I’ve been saying that the most valuable asset in the world, our data, has been harvested, collected, modelled, and monetised — just to sell products to us — but nobody has come up with a solution to address the root of the problem yet.
- DrumWave has made Brittany Kaiser’s decade-long dream of data ownership and the ability for citizens around the world to garner perpetual value from their data a reality.
- The DrumWave system rewards data-generating users so they “can participate in the value creation process”, according to Germán Scipioni, the company’s Chief Product Officer.
- DrumWave CTO Laura Bermudez highlights how the solution establishes new standards for data management, with authenticity validation and the unprecedented ability to combine data from multiple sources and industries.
- The launch was made at Money20/20, designed to start a conversation about how to reimagine the future of money, and data ownership is fundamental to that discussion.
