We took a lovely walk this morning for our Morning Meetup with a crew from our community!
What a great way to kick off Tuesday – cheers to all of those who came by for chit-chat and great company!
FRI-YAY CHECK-IN!
How many times have we heard, "You cannot pour from an empty cup?" Many. Many times, is the answer. Yet, what intentional steps do we take to ensure our cup 🥤 is full?
If you are like most, probably few.
This is the check-in process that I use to boost my intentionality through immediate self-awareness. I didn't create this 6 question reflection (I ran into it online many moons ago), but it works! And you can modify the internal prompts to better suit you!
Happy Friday!

I loved the sense of humor in the company.
Switching the prank to Digital.
I recently came across an interesting approach to testing digital resilience. As we all know, switching to digital has become the norm, but it's equally important to be aware of the potential risks and vulnerabilities in today's digital world. The Netflix Chaos Monkey is a tool that tests the resilience of their entire digital platform by intentionally creating controlled failures. By doing so, they can identify and fix any issues before they become major problems. I hope that more companies will follow Netflix's lead and conduct similar drills to ensure that their systems are secure and resilient. After all, being prepared is the best way to tackle any potential threats.

"📝 Zerodha Founder's Epic Office Prank 🤣🚔
"Nithin Kamath, the founder of Zerodha, reminisces about a hilarious office prank that left half the office in tears. He orchestrated a fake police raid on the Zerodha headquarters, accusing him and his brother, Nikhil, of forgery. The prank video, uploaded in 2014, captures the employees' extreme reactions to this unexpected stress test turned prank."
🚔 Fake Police Raid: Nithin Kamath, the mastermind behind the prank, hired Kannada actors to pose as fake cops and raid the Zerodha office. The goal was to test how the team would react to extreme stress and, of course, have some fun.
😂 Office Chaos: The prank involved actors with a fake high court order disrupting work, rounding up employees, and causing visible stress. Many employees were bewildered, and some were even resisting the fake raiders.
📹 Prank Revelation: The prank video begins with Nithin Kamath explaining its purpose - to assess the team's reaction under stress and, of course, to have a good time. The video captures the moment when the prank is revealed, with Nithin and Nikhil Kamath walking in to expose the ruse.
😅 Mixed Reactions: One employee who participated in the prank admitted, "It's nice to sit back and laugh at this now. I wasn't laughing when it was happening." The video's emotional impact on the employees was significant.
📱 Early Belief in YouTube: Nithin Kamath shared his belief in YouTube as a platform even when he was late to the social media scene. He recognized its potential and its power for business growth.
📚 Focus on Content: Kamath emphasized Zerodha's focus on content, mentioning that they started blogging from Day 1 of the company. Building trust and credibility through transparency has been a core strategy for the company, with a shift towards visual content in recent years as traditional content consumption patterns changed.
