China’s Monetary Easing May Provide an Unexpected Boost for Bitcoin
China is hardly what one would describe of as the epitome of transparency, especially when it comes to issues of economic data and reporting. But a recent move by the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), the Chinese central bank should be cause for concern in the world’s second largest economy. As global markets fell last week on the back of trade war worries as well as a slowdown in Chinese growth, China’s central bank announced that it would inject US$117 billion into the banking system, allowing commercial banks to cut the share of deposits that they must hold in reserve, in an effort to boost lending and halt what some analysts believe may be a far sharper slowdown in economic growth than reported.

How to Build a Strong Brand Identity
“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.” This adage is very true with regard to brand identity as well. What is a strong brand identity? As the adage indicates, it is how others perceive you, the identity or image you convey to the minds of people when they hear the name of your organization. A common pitfall that many fall into when considering how to build a strong brand identity is to believe that they know how their business is perceived. They try to see things from their own perspective, forgetting that a strong brand identity depends on ‘the eyes of the beholder,’ or how they are perceived by potential customers.

Top Executive Assistants: Crashing the BS Party
So...the narrative about Executive Assistants has been diluted so much in the past 3 years or so that it's become more confusing than clarifying. Everybody's an "expert" these days posting fluffy, BS articles that generalize the grind, paint pictures that we're chaos wranglers and do-it-alls with a perma-smile plastered across our faces, and swimming joy laps in the underrepresentation, under compensation, underutilization and lack of empathy often suffered at the hands of the people we're low-key expected to take a bullet for. As someone with 26+ years in the seat, having given up the best years of my personal life to claw my way to the top of the EA game, I'm often pissed off seeing low ROI conferences duping EAs out of thousands of dollars, newbies claiming and weaponizing expertise they haven't actually earned, and articles/vlogs/blogs that serve no purpose other than pushing a personal agenda wrapped in yet another bullshit "Top 5 Ways To..." list or ad campaign.
