I Pronounce Thee.... Many of us know about Cleopatra and her love affairs with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar. Or, we have some knowledge of the gorgeous queens Nefretit and Nefretari and their marriages to powerful pharaohs. We are familiar with the rich and powerful figures of ancient Egypt, much as we are with the lives of the same demographic today.

ESG is the Necessary Evil, and the Markets and Entrepreneurs are Taking Full Advantage
A few months ago, I published a piece arguing that ESG will become the new bottom line. This is not a politically motivated statement, and I don’t fully agree with the ESG approach. I do believe however, it is time to change, and it is time for executives, entrepreneurs, and investors to appreciate we are at an economic and societal transition point. This transition will force us to engage the consumer base more dynamically, while placing greater efforts to decarbonize our business operations. These issues are both good for business and good for society provided companies and investors are willing to take risk and change. Capitalism models should be leveraged to create profits while absorbing the societal problem-solving more systematically. Please note that I have adopted a rather broad definition of ESG in my analysis to ensure I capture the sustainability, clean tech, and climate risk investment trends.

War is Destroying Our Planet
Environmental damage and wars exist in a positive feedback loop. As resources dwindle, more conflicts emerge. As conflicts take place, more natural resources are rendered useless. With each cycle, the limited availability of resources and the frequency of war push more towards extremes.

Seasonal Depression
Seasons are changing this time of the year is hard for many people like myself dealing with severe depression. For two years I didn't have to deal with this problem changing of seasons. I was living in Ghana I've always been able to avoid the seasonal blues. Which is easy when you're less than 20-30 minutes from a beach or a body of water where you can sit and watch the waves.

Things Are Getting Better
Sometimes, when I suggest that things will get better in the world, people laugh or get mad, pointing out all evidence to the contrary. For me, it’s easy to believe, because I trust the Archangels completely when they tell me this, but for those who don’t have that particular blessing, I asked the Angels to give me some current and upcoming signs to look for to give us all hope. The following is what they told me.
