Bob Iger Returns to Walt Disney – The Lesson of Winning like Jose Mourinho And Having Rings

By

Jose Mourinho. Bob Iger. These men have one thing in common: they have rings or have great business records – and the world reuses them even when they desire to retire. You cannot explain these things. The football world continues to recycle and re-appoint Jose. He is now with AS Roma, after all the journeys. Why? People with prior great results continue to be recycled despite the abundance of new people looking for opportunities.

Just like football, business is about winning. Records, records and records build careers. Even when they begin to fade, the kingmakers always default to the man or woman with records.  That explains why Bob Iger is returning back to Disney: “In a move that shocked Hollywood, Bob Iger, one of the most notable CEOs in the history of the Walt Disney company, is returning to once again run the media empire. Bob Chapek, who replaced Iger in 2020 as CEO, is stepping down immediately…Investors cheered the news, sending Disney shares 9% higher in premarket trading. As of Friday’s close, the stock has lost 40% of its value for the year..”

People, do all to put some great records in your resume! You just have to win once and that will do. They will never leave you alone because if you have won in the past, they will still believe you will win in the future.

In a move that shocked Hollywood, Bob Iger, one of the most notable CEOs in the history of the Walt Disney company, is returning to once again run the media empire. Bob Chapek, who replaced Iger in 2020 as CEO, is stepping down immediately.

“We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,” Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board for Disney, said in a statement on Sunday night. “The Board has concluded that as Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead the Company through this pivotal period.”

Investors cheered the news, sending Disney shares 9% higher in premarket trading. As of Friday’s close, the stock has lost 40% of its value for the year.

Iger will serve two years as CEO and help the board develop his successor, according to an announcement by Disney.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) announced today that Robert A. Iger is returning to lead Disney as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Iger, who spent more than four decades at the Company, including 15 years as its CEO, has agreed to serve as Disney’s CEO for two years, with a mandate from the Board to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the Board in developing a successor to lead the Company at the completion of his term. Mr. Iger succeeds Bob Chapek, who has stepped down from his position.

“We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,” said Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board. “The Board has concluded that as Disney embarks on an increasingly complex period of industry transformation, Bob Iger is uniquely situated to lead the Company through this pivotal period.”

“Mr. Iger has the deep respect of Disney’s senior leadership team, most of whom he worked closely with until his departure as executive chairman 11 months ago, and he is greatly admired by Disney employees worldwide–all of which will allow for a seamless transition of leadership,” she said.

The position of Chairman of the Board remains unchanged, with Ms. Arnold serving in that capacity.

“I am extremely optimistic for the future of this great company and thrilled to be asked by the Board to return as its CEO,” Mr. Iger said. “Disney and its incomparable brands and franchises hold a special place in the hearts of so many people around the globe—most especially in the hearts of our employees, whose dedication to this company and its mission is an inspiration. I am deeply honored to be asked to again lead this remarkable team, with a clear mission focused on creative excellence to inspire generations through unrivaled, bold storytelling.”

During his 15 years as CEO, from 2005 to 2020, Mr. Iger helped build Disney into one of the world’s most successful and admired media and entertainment companies with a strategic vision focused on creative excellence, technological innovation and international growth. He expanded on Disney’s legacy of unparalleled storytelling with the acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and 21st Century Fox and increased the Company’s market capitalization fivefold during his time as CEO. Mr. Iger continued to direct Disney’s creative endeavors until his departure as Executive Chairman last December, and the Company’s robust pipeline of content is a testament to his leadership and vision.

Working together with Chipper Cash will enable both firms to bring together their expertise to provide quality services to customers across the African continent.

FEI Protocol Hack Victims are Skeptical of Receiving Repayments From the Dao

In 2021, Fei Protocol (the stablecoin) did a merger with Rari Capital DAO, developers of the Fuse money market, The merger passed overwhelmingly and $RGT tokens became $TRIBE tokens effectively sealing the deal. In late April 2022, the Fei-Fuse money market was drained due to a reentrancy bug.

Many early adapters of Fuse lost millions. Fraxfinance a huge FEI/Fuse backer+lender+user lost ~$13m. OlympusDAO lost ~$9m. The total hack resulted in nearly $80m lost. The FEI/TRIBE DAO, had 100s of millions USD in excess PCV at this time & held a governance vote where TRIBE holders voted overwhelmingly to reimburse all victims of the hack. They were applauded for this exemplary and ethical move. Then weeks went by no repayment. Then in May/June 2022, the crypto markets took their infamous downturn. Then FEI emerges with an insane proposal: “Let’s do the repayment vote over again, the last one didn’t count.” The egregiousness of this is wild and absolutely ridiculous. Of course, as you might expect, to no one’s surprise the vote does not pass this time the repayment of victims is off the table now.

Cobie, Co-Founder of the Ethereum Blockchain had a good thread on Twitter explaining it. FEI didn’t want to repay victims because their stable coin  peg and treasury value is dangerously low. While passions were high, their supporters (including those at FRAX) were patient. This TRIBE/Rari scenario is a complete mess. Hard to be more bearish on DAO governance than after following this.

https://twitter.com/cobie/status/1537220039522545664?s=46&t=em_UL2MEmJJT5dWPGty6RA

In April, $80m exploit on Fuse happened: While not the hot topic on Crypto Twitter, the post mortem on the recent Fuse exploit is live. It analyzes the nature of the vulnerability, the response from the team, the current problem that need solutions, and additional security measures being taken. FEI, has more than enough PCV to redeem every stable-coin at peg, repay every cent to victims, and STILL have ~$65m in value for $TRIBE holders to redeem and profit. But what are they doing instead? Giving FRAX, Olympus etc cents on the dollar leaving victims with 95% hack losses. If, FEI repaid every hack victim, redeemed all FEI at peg, then distributed the remaining treasury pro rata to TRIBE holders, TRIBE would be worth $.16 with 10s of millions USD value given back to holders. A graceful and perfect sunsetting

Instead of the above, They’re preposing repaying FRAX 2% of $12.3m lost. 3% of OlympusDAO’s $8.9m lost. And just 19% and 27% of BalancerLabs and VesperFi losses respectively etc. Why? How does this make any sense other than fraud.

An honorable, ethical and respectable shutdown of a DAO is literally perfected here. The money is there. The full repayment, the perfect peg redemption and moral precedent is possible. I truly don’t understand how it’s possible to look at this, then decide “let’s take the rest.” Sam Kazemian said;

The post in the Tribe forums resonates greatly on the upheaval within the FEI Protocol . It straight up calls them out for simply wanting to keep more money for themselves at the expense of their early backers+friends solely because they probably think they can get away with it (they won’t). This is truly one of the most mind boggling situations I’ve seen. Outright fraud, blackhat hacks, scams/rugs are obvious. Difficult situations are also obviously difficult. This i don’t understand what this is other than chaotic. This is a public VC backed, tier 1 project.

The Types of Gamblers In Canada: The Social Gambler and Professional Gambler

Gambling has become more than just a hobby or pastime in Canada. Some gamble as an outlet when feeling the need to escape from the everyday grind of their lives. Then some wager with the hope of making enough money to change their lives forever, with the ultimate goal of being able to quit their jobs and work full-time on pursuing their passion projects. They use bonuses such as the no deposit bonus casino Canada efficiently and make a profit.

Knowing your category as a gambler is essential as it will help you know who to take advice from regarding betting.

Who Is a Social Gambler?

Social gamblers are more likely to gamble at a casino than online. They are also more likely to be addicted and face gambling-related problems. Most social gamblers tend not to play slot machines or online casino games. They like table games like blackjack and roulette in a real casino. Social gamblers often use the money they can afford to lose and don’t have an issue with overspending real money for the thrill of it all.

Who Is a Professional Gambler?

A professional gambler gambles regularly but only bets enough to cover costs. These people are not addicted to gambling, but they are addicted to winning. They often dream of what their world will be if they win a lottery. They don’t go to the casino for entertainment or stress relief. They do it for the reward of winning. They also have excellent judgment when wagering in a casino and can often be found in top-level competitions where their skills may earn them millions of dollars in winnings.

Habits of Professional Gamblers

Although some may believe these individuals are just in it for the money, many professional gamblers donate large sums of money to charity. In reality, professional gamblers enjoy going to a casino more than others because it gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment. The casino is the office of professional gamblers. The professionals don’t just go to the casino to play games; they also go there to observe games.

How Do You Know Which Category You Belong?

Although gambling addiction is difficult to identify, some general signs may indicate you or someone you know has a problem. These include

  • Inability to stop gambling, and always visiting a casino.
  • High intolerance if the gambler needs more money or higher stakes at a casino.
  • Some addicts also show withdrawal symptoms like irritability, restlessness, insomnia, loss of appetite, and other side effects when they can’t gamble.

How to Become a Professional Gambler in Canada

Here are six ways that will make you a professional gambler in Canada:

  • Manage your losses: While gambling is an exciting and rewarding experience, it’s also risky. The first thing you should do when you make a loss is to reset your goals. You’ll also need to consider how much money you have left to know if there are any ways of making up for the loss or even getting ahead in the future.

If you’re new to gambling, this might sound easy enough, but sometimes it can be difficult because we often don’t know where our limits are or how far we can go without losing control. To manage these losses effectively, keep track of what works for you and stick with it!

  • Don’t gamble always, and set goals for yourself: Stay away from casinos when you’re too tired, stressed, or upset. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or depressed, don’t go online and place another bet until your mood has lifted or stabilized. Give a trustworthy partner access to your bank account if needed.

Casino addicts can lose track of time while playing by focusing on one hand after another. Set short-term goals such as hitting a certain number of hands per hour and long-term ones such as earning enough money to pay off debts or save.

  • Use bonuses: The first step to being a professional gambler is to understand the game. Most people in the online gambling world are new players, and you should know how to play the game before you waste your money. Instead, learn how to play poker and other cards through free slot games.

Online slots are the most popular video slot games because they are easy to understand and play. They also offer some of the highest payouts in the industry, so players who like high-paying progressive jackpots will often choose online slots over traditional table games like blackjack or roulette.

  • Control your emotions: Many gamblers who play poker, especially those new to the game, tend to get upset when they lose a hand. But this is a mistake because it can lead to poor decision-making and poor play. The first step in learning to be a professional gambler is learning to control your emotions, so you can focus on performing well at the table.

The best way for me personally to handle my emotions when I lose at the table is by taking deep breaths and counting backwards from 10 in my head before I even look at my cards. This reaction calms down any anger or frustration that might be building up inside me while playing cards.

  • Never chase losses: Chasing losses is a losing proposition. It’s best to limit your losses and wait for the next opportunity. Acknowledge when you’re wrong: Mistakes happen. Don’t beat yourself up over it. Instead, try not to make the same mistake twice. Remember that you’re in control. You have complete control of your bankroll, do what feels right for you and what makes sense to you, regardless of what anyone else thinks or says.
  • Patience and discipline: Patience is necessary because it helps you know when it is the right time to make your move. You also want to limit how much money you spend on gambling. You should never take out any more than 10% of your bankroll. And if you feel tempted to go over this percentage, stop playing altogether. As long as there is enough in your account or if you still have a paycheck coming soon, it may be best to stay away from gambling.

Conclusion

Fortunately, it is easy to tell if a person is a social gambler or a professional. If a person is willing to gamble their paychecks away and not think twice about it, then chances are they’re a social gambler. Also, this post by no means suggests that you shouldn’t gamble. But for some, it can be good to let off some steam and not gamble at certain times. Just be aware of the type of gambler you want to be before deciding to play some poker or go to Vegas and spend your rent money.

From the cryptocurrency influencer and celebrity community to the market charts, Big Eyes Coin (BIG), VeChain (VET), and Chainlink (LINK) are appearing everywhere. Why? They’re great and profitable cryptocurrencies that fail to disappoint their users. Below are a few points that make these coins so great:

Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is Revolutionizing the Meme Coin Market

The Big Eyes Coin (BIG) is a new meme token and decentralized finance (DeFi) application that aims to distribute wealth to its community and users through the DeFi space while taking advantage of blockchain technology and the NFT market. The Big Eyes Coin (BIG) ecosystem pushes for growth, development, wealth generation, and profit-earning for its community members while protecting an important part of the world’s ecosystem.

Users of the Big Eyes Coin (BIG) platform can leverage its non-fungible tokens (NFTs) marketplace, which has been tipped to rise significantly in value in the coming months and once the NFT market undergoes a rise in value. As NFTs increase in value, so would the Big Eyes Coin (BIG) token.

The Big Eyes Coin (BIG) token is built on an Ethereum (ETH) blockchain with a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism which would help boost market sustainability. Big Eyes Coin (BIG) also includes a charity wallet where 5% of the total token revenue would be put to a charity wallet dedicated to ocean preservation efforts.

VeChain (VET): The Blockchain-Enabled Crypto Project

VeChain (VET) is a cryptocurrency project that was launched in 2015 and is a network of blockchain networks built to cater to the needs of enterprise-level users and to make data actionable and transparent. There are wide arrays of functions on the platform which makes it perfect for businesses seeking to improve supply chain protocols and business processes. VeChain (VET) gives firms and enterprises the power to be accountable for enormous amounts of data in a trust-free and decentralized business environment.

The VET is the native token of the VeChain (VET) platform and it is used for transaction fees, smart contracts, payments on decentralized applications (DApps) and exchanges, and the increment in value within the VeChain blockchain network. The VeChain (VET) is currently ranked in the top 30 cryptocurrencies globally based on its market cap.

Chainlink (LINK) is Creating Connections Between Blockchains

A rising star in the cryptocurrency world, Chainlink (LINK), uses a different and unique business model for its operation. Chainlink (LINK) plans to advance its ecosystem using new protocols that have been put in place.

Chainlink (LINK) plans to correct problems that are inconveniences to the cryptocurrency community – like the communication of information to and from blockchain networks. This communication can be made possible through “oracles”. These oracles are sensors that can be configured to monitor nearly anything like sports statistics, weather changes, financial accounts, stock values, etc. The only setback of oracles is their consolidation, which makes them weak and susceptible to corruption in blockchains.

Benefits of Chainlink (LINK):

  • It permits safe and secure cooperation between smart contracts.
  • Potential for smart contracts to copy current financial contracts.
  • Offers financial rewards for the input of accurate and dependable data into the Chainlink (LINK) platform.
