Samuel’s Thoughts episode 20: Stop whining and show some respect!

On this months episode of Samuel’s Thoughts I talk about a recent trend in tech journalism that has me worried about getting honest opinions instead of being with what others say, I talk about leadership and why getting the attention shouldn’t be the goal, and I end with the controversial topic of what happens in my mind when a certain someone I respect doesn’t show respect to others. Hint, it’s not hatred but its not flattering either!
