Culture moves markets. It’s not logic, not models, it’s narrative. And this is a concept companies like Apple have been using for decades to increase productivity.

Every founder I talk to in any industry all struggle in hiring quality. There is a quantity in the applications, but hiring the people who they feel they can trust to delegate something attached to their brand is tough. A large conglomerates profit reduction if quality is not met is drastically smaller than someone whos brand revolves around them.
Today a friend and I were debating the root cause of discouraged workers, and for the past 3 years, this topic seems to be something we can never agree on.
He compared the needs of an individual to a candle where an individual candle is often small and pleasant but a group of candles all with different smells clashing together, all fighting to be the main scent is intolerable. He explained how people are insatiable, always fighting for a cause that at the end of the day was pointless.
