Know Rivalry’s Post

It turns out I am a bit of a flag code geek... It may stem from producing events in the D.C. area, or maybe from Presidential campaigns across the nation, but I can not unsee issues from various events displaying the U.S. Flag. This weekend's National Football League (NFL) games were no exception. I generally accept that the horizontal display of a large format flag has become commonplace at most sporting events, and while it does not adhere to the letter of the code, it at least is part of a celebration with general respect. I just can't seem to get past cutting the flag into the shape of the U.S. And not even the entire United States, but just the lower 48 (where are Alaska and Hawaii?). This just feels disrespectful to me on a lot of levels. Any other examples of poor flag etiquette at events? #Liveevents #events #eventprofs #eventproduction #NFL #Football #Sportingevents #sports #ceremony #military #unitedstates #protocol #flagcode #flag

I want to share one of my all-time favorite video games with you - Age of Empires 2.   For those unfamiliar, AoE2 is a classic strategy game set in the Middle Ages, where you take on the role of various civilizations with the objective of total conquest.   With the recent DLC, the game now has 43 civilizations, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. Take for example, the Mongols, who excel in cavalry but lack strong infantry. On the other hand, the Teutons possess the game's strongest and most formidable heavy infantry, but their archers and cavalry aren't as impressive.   Why am I posting this on LinkedIn? Well, I had a conversation with a mentor recently and he gave me an excellent piece of advice. In our career, and in life in general, there will always be folks with an unfair advantage. Instead of trying to replicate someone else's unfair advantage, we can focus on applying our own.   Success isn't about imitating others - it's about recognizing our unique multipliers. By honing those attributes and leveraging them strategically, we can forge our own path to victory.   In other words, don’t be the Britons and force a heavy calvary strategy. Instead, fast castle and train longbowmen. #MotivationalWednesday #aoe2 #career
