Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Thor: Love And Thunder

A Reel Leadership Article

My latest book, Reel Leadership, is now available on Amazon. If you love movies and leadership, you will love this book.

Moviegoers were treated to a new movie about the god of thunder. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returned to the cinema to rock audiences.

Thor: Love And Thunder had a similar feel to his last featured movie, Thor: Ragnarok, yet Love And Thunder felt somewhat flat. The jokes didn’t land. The action was nice but nothing special. The brilliant piece of Thor: Love And Thunder was Christian Bale as the villain, Gorr The God Butcher.

Thor: Love And Thunder tells the tale of Gorr The God Butcher, a creature out to destroy all the gods in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He ravages countless planets during his reign of destruction.  Read more...

The Five Best Audiobook Services Available

While nothing can beat the feel of an actual book in your hands, sometimes you have to compromise. My compromise has been to pick up audiobooks.

I’ve heard from many people that they enjoy this method of reading as well. Audiobooks allow readers to follow the story on the go. You can listen to audiobooks in your car, on a run, lounging around the house, riding a bike, or in many other places.

This is a contributed post to JMLalonde.com. For more information on contributing a post, please see our contributing policies.

Competition is rife in the business world, and companies are constantly looking for competitive advantages to stay ahead of their rivals. This is emphasized even further by Hostinger’s report that there are 32.5 million small businesses in America. Dependable technology is undoubtedly one of the most significant sources of competitive advantage, so it is no surprise that many business leaders put in a lot of time and effort when purchasing equipment. If you are in the market for business equipment, new or refurbished are typically the two options you can choose. It is tempting to go straight for new products, but refurbished alternatives are worth considering for various reasons. Below are some of the perks of purchasing refurbished equipment for your business.  Read more...

Remain Teachable

Do you remember when you were a child? You thought the world was your oyster. You also thought you knew everything there was to know.

I think back to growing up. I remember thinking my parents didn’t know much about life. How wrong that was.

I’d scoff at their advice. I’d think my parents were old. They didn’t know what they were talking about.

The older I got, the more I went to my parents for advice. I’d ask my dad how to fix something in the house. Or I’d ask my mom a question about some experience she had had.

Sadly, when we’re younger, we’re not as teachable as we think. Our hubris takes over.

The older we get, the more we realize that we’re not as knowledgeable as we think we are. We begin to become teachable in a new way. We know we have so much to learn.  Read more...

We will look at Season 4’s Chapter 9. This second episode cranks in at feature film length. Chapter 9’s runtime is 2 hours 19 minutes. Both of the episodes are worth the watch.
