Hey , 👋

So the Euros have ended and England almost went all the way. And then they stumbled.

But you know what? That's OK.

There are millions of people (myself included) who are judging and analyzing what went wrong.

But there were a ton of things that went right. They wouldn't have gotten to the finals if that wasn't the case.

Handling loss is crucial in both sports and business.

In business, setbacks like failed projects or lost clients happen. Analyzing these setbacks helps identify areas for improvement.

Consistency and focus are key to bouncing back. After a loss, businesses must stay committed to long-term goals.

Consistent effort, quality work, and innovation are essential.

For example, after a financial loss, focus on strengths and improve processes.

Balancing emotions and planning is also important. Leaders should manage team morale, like a coach with players.

Understanding the emotional impact and offering support keeps teams united. Viewing setbacks as learning opportunities leads to growth and resilience.

In both sports and business, learning from losses makes you stronger. Stay focused, consistent, and resilient. Embrace setbacks as stepping stones to success.

Remember, every loss is a chance to come back stronger. Keep pushing forward!

PS - If you're a Spanish football fan, congrats to Spain - they really deserved the win.

OpenAI's Project Strawberry - The Model That Could Surpass Human Intelligence?

According to leaked information, OpenAI is developing a new model named “Project Strawberry” with human-like reasoning capabilities.

The model is being trained to explore the internet and conduct independent research to solve complex problems, potentially reducing misinformation compared to other models.

Experts believe Project Strawberry uses a Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR) method to enhance its intelligence over time.

Concerns have been raised about OpenAI's focus on new releases over safety, following reports from former employees and warnings about a potential AI breakthrough that could pose risks to humanity.

Work on the community I am building slowed down a bit.

OK, who am I kidding, work stopped completely because I got tied up with a bunch of other stuff like back to back client meetings,

.....a meeting with an old friend from the US who visited London last week (and whose SasS product you will hopefully be hearing about soon)

.....and the Euros! ⚽

But it's back to the grind and hopefully, we'll be in time for the September launch.

With that, I will end wishing you a productive rest of the week.

Stay safe, stay awesome...
