Macro Trends, page-103

Everyone works in different departments. So Drug & Alcohol, Eating disorder, PTSD, depression etc etc. I work on all departments and everyone uses a different form of communication. Some only want emails, some on Whatsapp or Messenger. And I’m like. I’m not your slave. You guys aren’t doing the research. So when you feel panicky, just read my posts and ground yourselves. So that has helped me a lot. Mainly to free up my time. Then when I starting posting more frequently. I really started to enjoy learning about the space. I’ve been speaking to old business partners to help me get in contact with young start ups. The real money is equity in a company when they are in the early stages. And I’ve been out of the start up scene cos I noticed a downward trend in the media space. And haven’t really found anything that peaked my interest until I explored more about FinTech. Finance tech is so different to media tech. Some examples are like BuzzFeed for media. Using data to build and sustain traffic numbers.

Side thought: a pet peeve of mine is discussing the FinTech space to my mates that work in banks. It’s interesting how short sighted they can be. They really think CBA etc etc can actually put up a fight with FinTech companies. They think just because they have massive resources to fund their own FinTech plays, that they can compete. But they can’t. They are old school thinkers. They can’t be as nimble and aggressive as start ups. At the end of the day, our banks will partner with FinTech companies whether they like it or not. And the underlying trend will be because of consumer demand and compliance.
