The goal is always to do things with better quality, in a faster manner, and with greater efficiency. If you can do this in your job, there will be promotions in your future more likely than not. If you can do this with your company, you will increase your profits and improve your ability to compete.
The need for innovation is always around us and is constantly thrown upon us when least expected. For instance, all those writers currently on strike in Hollywood, they probably have a real good understanding of how artificial intelligence will impact their viability and need. They see their replacement is here and available.
New technology, new processes, and new uses for current products and services can become a game changer. Who knew that people would much rather ride in the back of someones personal car rather than the standard yellow taxis that offer questionable environments and high prices. Innovation changed that.
While everything needs to be better quality, faster to the customers, and cheaper, we must ensure that innovation still retains the value to the consumer or else the savings will not help. The products may be cheaper for the business, but consumers may not feel that the product is worth the price to their household.
In this podcast episode, I discuss the need to embrace innovation in a responsible manner as well as other recent current events. Please experience this new episode below.

Responsibility is the most avoided concept in our society. We want to be able to do what we want, when we want, and not want to experience the consequences of those decisions. We want to buy what we want and not drown ourselves with the rules and expectations that come with ownership.
In many aspects, there are many Americans allergic to the idea that personal responsibility is important. In the podcast episode below, I discuss why personal responsibility is important and how successful people in our society accept personal responsibility as a way of life.
Think of your favorite athlete or entertainer. They did not reach the levels of success by deflecting responsibility. They understood the need to be better than the person in front of them or they would lose their roster spot. Be more appealing that the artist releasing during the same week or lose sales overall.
In this podcast episode, I also discussed fiscal responsibility. If you are spending money you did not personally earn, you are expected to do your best to retain it as long as possible or grow it in a risk averse manner. Too many people in power recklessly spend money they did not earn. And we are shocked when they need more and more.
Please experience this episode below to see why this ideals are so important as well as our discussions on recent current events.

My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to The Christopher Peter Review.
America is known as the land of opportunity. Opportunity is such a broad economic term. It is the driving force for our economic pursuits. We want the opportunity to elevate our state in life. The opportunity to define our own selves and being. We want the opportunity to live in safe, vibrant, and growing communities. We want to achieve our piece of the American Dream.
What will you do with the opportunities that you currently experience or will experience in the future? That is what really matters. What happened in the past or with someone else is not relevant to your experience. When opportunity knocks are you ready to answer the door and make something out of it?
I do not think enough is made to show how people each and every day make lemonade when all they have is lemon. For instance, the successful entrepreneurs who come from less fortunate backgrounds and find financial success through ambition, ingenuity, and hard work. Those are the stories we need to hear.
So many people will complain about perceived unfairness or accept being victim of circumstance. Instead, we need to see how people saw their situation and found ways to make it better. The opportunities afforded to your parents are not the same ones you will experience. Over time, opportunities change and people need to adapt.
In this podcast episode, I discuss how the technology fueling the gig economy is providing many the opportunity to experience economic freedom. In addition, I comment on the message Joe Biden offered for his re-election bid. Please experience this podcast episode below.

There are many strongly held beliefs and principles that we all hold that may differ from person to person. Some hold strong beliefs that everything in life can be achieved exclusively through hard work, ambition, and perseverance. Some belief that everyone’s purpose is to make the world a better place for not only themselves but others around them.
These guiding principles can inspire us to do great things. Motivate us to pursue change when we see big moments where things are not what they should be or could be. We take this principles and find ways to make them appealing to the broader masses or functional to our daily work. For instance, people with Christian faith, typically will be more compassionate in their interactions or human, empathetic towards the consumer experience.
These personal ideologies are developed over time or are a result of important moments in our lives. Much of what we believe to be universal truths are things we were taught as children or experiences we had. For instance, it is easier to believe the traditional value of hard work if you saw the benefits it had on your childhood, but less so if you saw your parents go to work everyday and struggle. If you enjoyed a comfortable childhood, this reinforced the value. If not, it was something you will reject. In reality, hard work does pay off, but there are no guarantees in life.
The challenges in our society is when there are conflicts between people who hold completely different sets of these strongly held beliefs. In the past, Americans understood that the best path forward was through negotiation to achieve compromises that could make outcomes somewhat suitable for all sides. But negotiation in the modern sense is becoming less about achieving workable solutions and more about finding ways to force the submission of the other party.
For instance, there is a business book about negotiations where the author discusses never giving an inch in negotiations. I get the idea and the importance of holding your ground in negotiations. If one side believes the other will need to give in, either do to necessity or lack of fortitude, why alter your offering or position. Negotiations are about leverage and willpower at times. But sometimes the desire to win a negotiation is given false importance than reaching a timely and beneficial solutions.
Now, the word compromise is being another word we cannot say in the political realm. Compromise is treated as a slur, detailing the person as unfit for leadership because they will waffle the first change they get. But I think there should be credit given for people willing to construct workable ideas that bridge the gaps in these negotiations where progress can be made and avoid disruptions or harm to our overall economy and society.

One of my favorite board games to this day is still monopoly. Probably due to my economics background. In the game, the goal is secure enough economic power, where you eventually drain your fellow players financially. In reality, this is not something desirable in the marketplace.
Generally, America does not support monopolies. The economic objective for policymakers is to foster competition to increase consumer choice and well being. There are some obvious exceptions. Utilities are traditionally monopolies in many areas. For some, increasing competition is viewed as a a bad thing.
Monopolies are beneficial from an operational perspective, where it is the most efficient form of production. From the consumer perspective, the market needs competition to drive prices down and really match consumer need to product availability. Competition also drives innovation in many industries as well.
In this podcast episode, I lead a discussion on the good, bad, and issues with monopolies and whether we are consistent with our antitrust position. Please experience this new podcast episode below.
