At Mayflower-Plymouth, we view the world through the lens of Capital.
Consistency is important. Doing a good thing only once or twice or a few times is not sufficient. You’ve gotta do the good things repetitively and indefinitely. You’ve gotta do the good things over and over and over again. When you are consistent, people trust you and respect you.
I believe in Chipotle. They have great tasting and nutritious food. And they’re also a great case study for business efficiency and business resiliency. The company has no long term debt, a loyal customer base, it owns and operates all of it’s stores, it has a clear business model and a clear growth path. They’ve got good company culture and they live by a set of values that earn the respect of their customers. In so many ways Chipotle is superior to it’s peers in the restaurant industry.

That means in our classrooms we should hear lively discussions, insightful debates, engaging conversations, exchanges of ideas, and informative play.
Students need a teacher who inspires them. When students view their teacher as inspirational, it increases their appetite for learning.
As AI technology matures paired with the continued implementation of Blockchain technology, I think we’ll see a lot of analyst, educator and lawyer jobs for example be repositioned into the consulting industry.

At Poinciana Schools, every student is like a beautiful Poinciana Tree that produces an abundance of blossoms of value.
To key to classroom behavior management is to have a structured system in place whereby good behaviors are actively and abundantly rewarded, and bad behaviors are promptly and efficiently punished. Rewards should be like the air, ever present and always lingering. Punishment should be like a thunderstorm that is obvious and inconvenient yet quick, temporary and not abusive. The predominant theme of classroom management should be good behaviors and continuous rewards.
A school that doesn’t cultivate creativity is a waste of the presence of youth, and an example of misallocated capital.

Decision is what directs energy, tunes frequency, and sets the rate of vibration of, in and toward life.
Urban decay is a thing. And the way to avoid urban decay is to actively plan for urban regeneration.
Items from the bathroom should not be moved to or stored in any other part of the house except for a place designated for storage. And even then, the bathroom item should be cleaned before stored.
Municipalities that struggle with emergency management present an added layer of risk in terms of their ability to repay loans. When we do our underwriting for bond issuance we consider how prepared a municipality is in terms of emergency management.
It’s good for good and spiritual people to have a lot of money. Because when good and spiritual people have a lot of money, we do good and spiritually aligned things with the money.
When your company is buying from my company and my company is buying from your company, there’s flow. And if a bunch of our companies are doing that, then that flow can be leveraged toward liquidity.
Capital is a living substance and must be invested as such.
When you’re buying from me and I’m buying from you and we’re all buying from each other, there’s flow within the ecosystem. And businesses in our ecosystem can tap into a portion of that flow to facilitate liquidity for their specific business.
Many charitable organizations don’t need to exist, and their work would be done better by either a business or the church.
The proper use case of tokens is to more precisely control behaviors within naturally occurring social ecosystems. Any attempt to transcend beyond the small naturally occurring ecosystem is naive at best and dishonest at most.
