Simon explained that a company’s purpose is to advance its vision, and since a vision is a mountaintop you never quite get to, you should have an infinite time horizon. Being an infinite company is an idea that my friend, author Simon Sinek, has been discussing with me. I know that a lot of companies are thinking about being long-term oriented, but an alternative way of thinking about it is being infinite. We want Airbnb to be a 21st-century company with two defining characteristics: We want to design a company to meet the unique needs of the 21st-century. You could say that these are 20th-century companies living in a 21st-century world. Companies face pressures based on legacies from the 20th-century, and the convention is to focus on increasingly short-term financial interests, often at the expense of a company’s vision, long-term value, and its impact on society. Technology has changed a lot in my lifetime, but how companies run has not. Companies have a responsibility to improve society, and the problems Airbnb can have a role in solving are so vast that we need to operate on a longer time horizon. It’s clear that our responsibility isn’t just to our employees, our shareholders, or even to our community - it’s also to the next generation. People are increasingly living in digital bubbles, trust in institutions is at a record low, and companies realize they have a greater responsibility to society. We can still be radical, and it couldn’t come at a more perfect time in the world. We are now big enough where anything is possible, but not so big that change would be nearly insurmountable. So I asked myself, if Joe, Nate and I were gone tomorrow, what would we want the world to know about Airbnb’s intentions?Īirbnb is still young, and the cement hasn’t hardened. A close advisor told me that now was the time to “institutionalize your intentions so that even as you grow, you can minimize what conflicts with your vision.” It made me realize that we should write down what we want to institutionalize before it’s too late. I was thinking about the next ten years of Airbnb when I received a phone call I’ll never forget. People said our idea would never work - “Strangers will never trust one another!” A decade later, people have checked into an Airbnb nearly 300 million times. Joe and I couldn’t pay rent, so we created the first AirBed & Breakfast and invited three people we’d never met to stay in our home. I am absurdly lucky even to be writing this email.

Namco really knocked this one out of the park. I’ve gotta say, this is one of the best collector’s edition sets I’ve had the pleasure of owning in a long time. OH MY GOD, THERE ARE DISEMBODIED HEADS IN HERE!… Oh, they’re just not assembled yet. ![]() This is the container for the mini figurines. I’m still in awe that we got a four disc soundtrack, in a large jewel case no less. This is the outer box for the four disc soundtrack. I didn’t take a picture of the backside because it has DLC codes on it, which are mine. Next up is the art book, which unlike the novella is a softcover booklet. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m assuming it’s a novella of some sort that ties into the story. The plastic version even comes with a MANUAL and standard artwork on the inner lining as opposed to now standard health warnings. There’s the standard plastic case (as you would see with the regular retail release) and a steelbook case.īoth feature artwork on the inside too, which is awesome. I laid out all of its contents so you can see. When you lift off the top, this is what you have to look forward to. I took it out of the plastic box thing, so you can see what that looks like. Not sure how I wound up towards the back of the pack, but it is what it is. They’re also individually numbered, as you can see. Of course, the box has six sides, so I took the plastic wrap off so you could get a nice glimpse of the various artwork surrounding it. Here’s a shot of the packaged set, which was smaller than I was anticipating on account of how much stuff was in it, though still quite large even compared to sets NIS releases for the system. Now, it’s easy to look at the vanilla version of Tales of Symphonia Chronicles with its $39.99 MSRP and then wonder what exactly you get for an extra sixty bucks. Not only that, but it comes available in a collector’s edition (and a nice one at that). ![]() This time, we have an HD update to one of the most successful and well received entries to date, coupled with its Wii sequel. I mean, yes, things could be better (still waiting on those Vita ports), but overall there have been an incredible number of releases in the series that have been localized, and more are on the way. Wow, it is an awesome time to be a Tales fan. “But in reviving some of these timeless skills, I hope I can honor the legacy of those who came before and paved the way for us all.” Path to the Homestead “None of the things I teach or share are new,” Winger said. Winger bonded with her now-husband, Christian, over a shared dream of having land and cattle-and made it a reality. She’s also written one cookbook, “The Prairie Homestead Cookbook: Simple Recipes for Heritage Cooking in Any Kitchen,” and is working on a second. Through blog posts, e-books, a podcast, and YouTube videos, she shares about subjects as varied as saving tomato seeds, finding a good detangler for a horse’s mane, and planning for the upcoming homeschool year. ![]() … It’s about making life better,” Winger said. As the creator of the website The Prairie Homestead, which has some 530,000 page views with 325,000 unique visitors per month, Winger has become a voice and mentor for budding homesteaders across the country-or simply anyone looking to live more sustainably. ![]() We knew we weren’t going to inherit that, and we wanted something different.”įast-forward more than a decade, and they now homestead on 67 acres in rural Wyoming and have a thriving, home-based business at the forefront of the new homestead movement. “We were talking and we knew for sure that we wanted land and cattle. “We were on our second date,” recalled Winger, in her early 20s and living in the city at the time. Jill Winger and her husband, Christian, were on the same page from the very start. The Wingers purchased a neglected farmstead on the Wisconsin prairie and transformed it into their nowthriving homestead. Often city slickers who left for the country, their decision to reinvent themselves and create a different lifestyle, combining the old way of doing things with contemporary conveniences, has created its own, if unconventional, kind of resiliency. ![]() These modern-day pioneers share the same entrepreneurial spirit, guts, and enthusiasm-perhaps standing on the shoulders of past trailblazers-but they have a distinct advantage. They’re younger, better educated, and, realistically, more tech-savvy. History tells us that while some succeeded, many failed due to inexperience, lack of money to buy equipment, and the environment.īut today, there’s a new breed of homesteaders. Thousands took advantage to claim the government’s offer of 160 acres. It’s been 160 years since the Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged folks to head west for a chance at a new beginning. ![]() Third loss I fought my ni**a X he got the better of me no bullshit and the fourth loss I fought some boxing ni**a in my city boy had knuckles I ain't go lie to you. The second loss I was in sixth grade, I fought two people in the bathroom. My first fight was in the third grade, and boy beat the shit out of me. The four losses were definitely learned experiences. Do you recall your fight record since you have been in a lot of brawls. You became this aggressive person who learned how to fight by any chance. On Up Next with Apple, you talked about being bullied and eventually becoming the bully. Singing in the church that's how I gave praise to God, and that's how I released a lot of my demons by going to church and singing. She made sure I knew God, and if I needed anything that I could go to him. My mom wasn't super strict when it came to other things, but she did keep me in church. When you go to church, religion plays a big part in your whole life. You grew up in a religious household, and you were also part of the choir. As a teenager, I still wanted to follow and be a cool person, but when I moved back to the Ville at 18, I didn't like the way I was living, and I didn't like who I was. It wasn't country it was too fast, and I had to find a place to fit in, and that when I started doing all the wrong things. I tried to fit in with the wrong people in elementary, and when I moved from Fayetteville to Pennsylvania, that's when I realized everything was going to be different because I was with different people. That's where I showed my ass for a better term. I wasn't disrespectful at home, but in school, I was like super different. ![]() I thank God that I ain't have to come to that eventually.Īs a kid growing up in the Ville, I wasn't a bad kid. You try your best to do something different, but if stuff ain't working eventually.

Morray has been blessed to see plenty of success in the past seven months and is likely to be a household name within the next half a decade because of his unique way of expressing himself from within. The tape peaked at number 41 on the Billboard 200 and was co-signed by fellow North Carolina rappers J. She said, 'I like your music but I wanna love it.' It pissed me off because she's my wife, and she's supposed to support me, but what she was doing was pushing me towards a better goal." That slight push made Morray write "Quicksand," while sitting in his bathroom.Īfter signing his deal, Morray put out his debut mixtape Street Sermons, an introductory project in which he shares his story. During our zoom conversation, Morray explained, "My wife told me I was making good music, but I had to make music that came from my heart. He thanks God for all that he had, but if it wasn't for his wife, perhaps "Quicksand" might have never come to be. Morray remained positive through it all and kept smiling. All of this didn't come easy to Morray, who just a year ago had a regular job trying to make ends meet and figure out how to make it in the industry. In April, the rising rapper and singer signed to Interscope Records in partnership with Shalizi's Pick Six Records. The unique melody and his form of storytelling captured the attention of Moe Shalizi, who at the time was putting together Pick Six Records in Los Angeles. Today that music video featuring Morray dancing confidently while telling the story of his tough upbringing sits at over 92 million views on YouTube and has been certified Gold by RIAA. 2020 was a setback for many of us but that wasn't the case for the 28-year-old Fayetteville native who watched his life go from struggling to make ends meet to the signing of a life changing record deal. In October of last year, Morray unleashed the Jaxofnorth directed visuals to "Quicksand." The visuals quickly began gaining traction, and in a matter of two weeks, the music video amassed over a million views. ![]() More details can be found in the Import Options section.ġ0 – This option fixes objects with surfaces created inside out.
