A Chinese balloon does not do nearly as much harm as TikTok, but most people don't realize it.
TikTok closed my account without warning, notice, explanation, because it did not like my voice in support for Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, and her meeting pro-democracy activists there last August.
But the most dangerous thing is what you and I cannot see: TikTok can compromise our data privacy and control our lives like what it did to me. If you care about American democracy, freedom of speech, please just spend a few seconds to reach out to your congressman and senator while they are deliberating what to do with TikTok.
This is serious.

"Spare", authored by Prince Harry, damages Prince Harry himself & his own family, King Charles III, Prince William, the entire British royal family and the monarchy, for decades to come, as a Shakespeare tragic drama, LIVE.
One can NOT be redeemed by crushing others, no matter how “justified” one thinks.
The royal family did a bargain at a cost: glamor, status, wealth, titles, - all symbolic, but if they choose these, the cost is their nakedness, the public scrutiny, the twisted family dynamics based on the obsolete form of hierarchy, and the hurts, betrayals, damages.
Who is really to be blamed?
Is that what the Brits bargained for? (read, listen, or watch more for answers.)

This podcast address these important issues:
- Open AI, ChatGPT, DALL.E2, ... AI is incredibly limited now, its “greatness” is a misleading impression.
- AI is FAR from writing with a high level of nuance, complexity, intellectuality, originality, and creativity.
- High quality ORIGINAL content cannot be recycled from mediocre content online: “Garbage in, garbage out”.
- AI can NEVER replace human originality. The joy of human creativity is both THE means and THE end.
- Good news: Chat GPT and DALL.E2 are increasing the value of original art.
- The bottom line is: Technology is to serve humanity, not the other way around.
- We at 10 Plus Brand, Inc. create ORIGINAL content for our clients.

Elon Musk's brand is not as hopeless as Donald Trump's, but if Elon continues his reckless words and acts, listens to no one except himself and his yes-men, his brand will be ruined.

Barbara Walters was not liked by many men, even women, since she was aggressive, vain, and often right in your face. But she simply didn't give a damn. What made her a super star and an inspiration to so many?

Wednesday Dec 28, 2022
Where does confidence come from? According to Joanne Z. Tan, CEO and brand strategist at 10 Plus Brand, Inc.: "1 + 1 = 2": Get out of your comfort zone + Just do it = Confidence.
It is a process of overcoming one's self-limiting beliefs, with vision, focus, and most importantly, persistent actions in small steps.

Episode 70: Rating 6 famous American women
Tuesday Dec 27, 2022
Tuesday Dec 27, 2022
Likable? Ambitious? Brilliant? - If yes, you may be a leader; if a WOMAN leader: X3!
This is Joanne Tan of 10 Plus Brand.
A brief case study of 6 famous women: Barbara Bush, Michele Obama, Hilary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Liz Cheney, and Nancy Pelosi. I will rate the top two or three for the first two categories of ambition and brilliance.
Three of them are ambitious: Hilary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi. Michele Obama repeatedly said that she would never run for president in spite of her popularity, - this has made her more likable.
Three of them are brilliant: Nancy Pelosi, Hilary Clinton, Michele Obama. Kamala Harris is at best a partyliner, her luck of riding on the Biden bus has carried her to VP, but not on her own merit, and absolutely not based on her own power of mind or wisdom.
Four of them are likable (personally, not measured by political partisanship): Barbara Bush, Michele Obama, Liz Chaney, and Nancy Pelosi.
Which woman scores high in ALL three categories?
Disregarding politics, Nancy Pelosi is a wholesome, courageous, faithful, brilliant, skillful, passionate and compassionate person. At the end of her daughter’s documentary “Pelosi in the House”, Nancy quoted a saying that perfectly summarized her career and her character: “When someone dies and faces God’s question: ‘Where is your wound? Isn’t there something worth fighting for during your life on earth?’” She has won the hearts and souls of so many, NOT because she wanted to self-anoint as the “first but not the last” (said Kamala), NOT because she was always viewing herself as the “role-model” for women (says Hilary), but because she always regarded and performed her work and her roles as a sacred responsibility for her beloved America, democracy, and God. She described herself as a “work horse”.
Nancy is the only woman among the six who scores high in all three categories, - ambition, brilliance, likability. But that is not enough. For a WOMAN to succeed in a high position, she has to work three times harder than men, as she said in the documentary, “you just cannot be tired.”
My hat off to Nancy Pelosi. Thank you Nancy for being a true role model for ALL: men, women, independents, democrats, republicans - as the GOP house speaker John Boehner tearfully said: “Game recognizes game”.
In brand building, if anyone asks me about a truly powerful and authentic personal brand, Nancy Pelosi is my perfect example, a wholesome illustration of standing for something, with conviction, passion, intelligence, and integrity.
Like what you heard? Please share! (Unless you want Kamala Harris to be our next president).
Thank you.
