I also let you in on a little secret about a Dallas rendezvous in June. But let's take a trip down memory lane first – the Rockafire Explosion concerts are making a comeback in Volo, Illinois, and we're here for it! Marvel at the determination of young Jacob Mickin, who brought drummer Duke LaRue back to life, and start warming up those vocal cords because there might just be a karaoke challenge brewing in the midst of all this location-based entertainment fun. Hold onto your hats as we discuss the awe-inspiring suspended football field in Eastern China – an architectural marvel that's as exhilarating as it is unnerving. While the kids score goals on a netted wonderland, we're dissecting the finer points of its safety features and the thrilling prospect of playing soccer in the sky. Don't miss our rundown of the LBX Daily Show, where we spur our community to engage and hint at the forthcoming wisdom bombs from Bob Cooney's third-degree session. It's a kaleidoscope of creativity, safety, and sheer adrenaline that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat – or hanging from it. Keep your eyes peeled for a world where entertainment knows no bounds, and neither do we.

In this episode, we look further into the future than usual, and explore the fun and games that humanity might get up to in a thousand years or more. https://lnkd.in/dZ-EaXAD

Jan. 20th is the #SummitforLife in Washington, D.C. “Hunger Games” was just a movie, but the challenge of defending the value of each human life is very real. We explore this more in “Pro-Life” issues, at https://hubs.la/Q02h7Sd10 #ProLifeGeneration

It will come as no surprise that I am a fan of #starwars, primarily the trilogy of Episodes 4,5&6. Perhaps more than most, it and the era of 70s and 80s #scifi had a big impact on my childhood and beyond. There are obvious clues - a career in #spacecraft operations and #robots serving human needs being foremost! But there are more subtle influences too. The films display the power of storytelling that Lucas and team used at a time of self doubt in the US psyche. It shows what can be done when a team align behind #visionary #leadership, particularly that of the underdogs and outsiders (the films’ narrative, but also how they were made). And there are some remarkable business lessons too. I’d always said that #TheEmpireStrikesBack is my favourite of the original trilogy. Did you know it wasn’t directed by George Lucas, but he #delegated arguably the most important project of his career to Irvin Kershner, whose experience with character driven storytelling brings depth to the trilogy? Did you know that Lucas #funded the project personally and via bank loans based on the merchandise revenue he had secured making Star Wars, giving him almost complete artistic authority without behind beholden to the studios? Did you know that he #marketed Star Wars by finding someone who lived and breathed the fans’ world of sci-fi and comics (read about Charles Lippincott here https://lnkd.in/e_y3sjEZ )? Lucas did this using businesses he started ( Industrial Light & Magic , Lucasfilm ). Not much more relevant to a successful business leader of one of the most successful startups ever than #vision, #delegation, #funding and #marketing / #productmarketfit !!! So whether you are just going to enjoy the films, reminisce, or explore the history of #starwars filmmaking, #MayThe4thBeWithYou

💪FLAWLESS ⚡VICTORY🥋 As someone who grew up as a teenager in the 90s, I feel a surge of excitement and nostalgia seeing this advertisement on the Las Vegas Sphere of Mortal Kombat. Mortal Kombat for me was synonymous with coolness, rebellion, and cutting-edge entertainment. As a fan, seeing its advertisement on the Las Vegas Sphere is a testament to the game’s lasting impact on popular culture (30 years). It’s a thrilling reminder of the countless hours spent battling opponents, executing fatalities, and exploring the game’s rich universe. Always seeking that "Flawless Victory, which comes when you defeat your opponent without taking any damage. The Las Vegas Sphere’s promise of a paradigm shift in the music concert industry only adds to the excitement. It represents a new era of live performances, where technology and creativity converge to create unforgettable experiences. Just like Mortal Kombat pushed the boundaries of what was possible in video games, the Las Vegas Sphere aims to redefine what we can expect from music concerts. https://lnkd.in/ehRjB7EH

I watched a fascinating and a bit terrifying video about war games. As an avid board gamer and behavioral science researcher, it was interesting to see the similarities and contrasts of decision-making research. https://lnkd.in/e9mnHabq I made my undergraduate research utilizing StarCraft platform to see if we could capture exploration behavior and comparing it to a persons digital media use. I've played with the idea of utilizing established games to see behavior. It's interesting to see how this is not a novel concept. The concept of a "game" can be seen as just a decision-making simulator. It has everything to do with human behavior, biases, and research. But unlike academic/scientific research, it is difficult to see how good the data is without verifying it with other established methods of decision-making tasks. Curious what you all think of it.
