Today's term
a.k.a. Your Slice Getting Thinner

Systems Thinking (Peter Senge)
Your brain naturally thinks in isolated events, not interconnected systems. Systems thinking — seeing how components communicate and depend on each other — activates your dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for complex problem-solving. APIs are systems thinking made tangible: every connection you build multiplies the value of everything it touches.

2017–
Used music as audience generator. Used that audience to launch Fenty Beauty (LVMH partnership). Beauty + Savage X Fenty became the wealth engine; music became the megaphone.
Lesson: Music is audience. Brand is wealth.
