Risk Can Be Risky - Bud Light's Alissa Heinerscheid Takes Leave of Absence

The era of the entrepreneur such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates evolved into the mandate for all professionals to be entrepreneurial. Part of that has been to embrace risk-taking. And that has been the rallying cry in business. In the Tarot it's symbolized the major arcana card The Fool. 

 

Along the way that drive to take risks masked this reality: Risk is risky. That's why The Fool warns risk-takers to be calculating about stepping out of the zone of the status quo.

 

The riskiness of risk played out in brutal fashion at Bud Light. Marketing genius Alissa Heinerscheid has taken a leave of absence after featuring transgender Dylan Mulvaney in a promotion which resulted in a loss of about $6 billion. Hired in 2022 to update Bud Light she had created the wildly successful Super Bowl commercial featuring the female as part of the Bud Light experience. 

 

That was then. Now is now. Obviously she bet wrong. Taking over her job is Todd Allen. Not many of us expect her to return to Bud Light. That error of judgment has been right up there with the New Coke. 

 

In engaging our clients in a Tarot reading we help them recognize the range of consequences for their choices and if they can handle all that. When in doubt, leave it out. There is no such thing as destiny. There is only behavior whose impacts often cannot be reversed.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

The Long Half Life of The Feel-Good (from doing good)

Image
The for-sales could have run on Craigslist for 16 more days.  Then came that Ah-Ha moment. Given the low prices you get for used furniture, even though in excellent condition, why not just donate the barely used innovative bed set, artsy storage chest/prism, snow-removal equipment and karma icons.  I knocked on a neighbor's door. When I described the goodies her face lit up. You bet, she said, her husband would be right down the stairs to bring up their new stuff.  Their five-year-old would tag along with some of her stuffed animals to place immediately in the chest.  That family is delighted. The glow spills over to me. And I need that as I continue to put together the logistics for relocating back to Sierra Vista, Arizona. It's a must move, so soon after coming here to the Midwest.  Those who had heard of me back in AZ have offered me contracts for ongoing tarot reading sessions. The region has three resort areas.  Here there is only one resort area - Geneva on the Lake - and
