As a kid, my dad occasionally took me fishing in his small, rusty tin boat. Sometimes, in the middle of the lake, he’d put duct tape over a leak to keep the water at bay until we got back to shore. He used to say that boats don’t sink from the water around them. They sink from the water that gets in them. I’ve drawn on that saying many times, particularly during the stormy seasons of life, when I’ve felt like I might be pulled under by the fear and negativity swirling around me.

So you have a new project in mind —a major undertaking, a shift in direction, the kind of thing that will put your company on the map or reaffirm its dominance in the market. And you are feeling a little… overwhelmed. Leadership is not for the faint of heart. Even after all these years, a new venture gives me a rush of excitement and a flutter of nerves.

What’s going on: The Economic Policy Institute’s analysis released on Thursday morning showcased that, even with inflation taken into consideration, wages for low-income workers in the United States experienced a rapid surge between 2019 and 2022. Why it matters: This was made possible by the tightened job market and disruption due to the pandemic, resulting in employees on the lower end of the pay scale having greater power in negotiations with their employers.

“Do less to make more” is Amy Porterfield’s mantra, and for good reason: Through her focus on gaining in-depth knowledge on a select few things and marketing that knowledge to others, hers is the name that pops up when it matters. But entrepreneurship hasn’t always come so easily to her. After leaving her job as Tony Robbins’ content director 14 years ago, she decided to build her own business , a journey which wasn’t without its trials.

Studs Terkel is a particular hero of mine. I like his name, his style, his association with jazz but also the way he wrote. His characteristic approach was marked by interviews with ordinary Americans about their jobs and how they felt about them. He did lots of other stuff but that was his work. What is especially striking is that he saw himself as a chronicler of other people’s lives rather than a commentator on them.

Like never before, 2021 saw record-breaking levels of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity globally, a trend that continued into 2022 until a challenging macroeconomic landscape resulted in a sharp decline in activity. This was mainly because businesses waited to see what the coming months would bring. Whilst experts believe that M&A activity won’t return to levels seen in 2021, they do expect an increase as markets adapt, recover, and look for ways to increase profit.
