Death of Jeffrey Epstein: Charles Homas, et al. Still Haven't Convinced Us It Was Suicide and The Don Is Off the Hook (for now)

Those whose professional lives have been irreversibly damaged by association with manipulative Jeffrey Epstein can feel satisfied that he too suffered. The New York Times article by Charles Homas, et al. documents his despondent state when imprisoned. It was enough for the system to provide attention to his mental health. Also, as Homas reports:

"Robert Adams, an M.C.C. guard at the time, thought Epstein seemed like 'a lion taken out of the jungle and put in a cage.'” 

However, that extensive bit of investigative work likely hasn't convinced many that Epstein's death was a suicide. Many of the comments responding to the article push back on that conclusion. They go with the theory that Epstein simply was a man who knew too much. Much of the disagreement with the Times argument comes from its reliance on what inmates say. How credible is that kind of input. 

As a result, it's now obvious that in the realm of conspiracy whatevers the world has "Another Kennedy Assassination." From now on, big names could be made by those who provide fresh insight on the death of Epstein. Meanwhile, the Times hasn't boosted the hopes of the anti-Trump crowd that The Don will be more and more enmeshed in the Epstein fallout. Here we have:

"Epstein was particularly preoccupied with what he might have on Donald Trump ... Jotting on a legal pad, he returned to the president again and again, trying to dredge up anything to offer prosecutors. But his scribblings ... suggest that he could come up with little that wasn’t already known."

In coaching, I pass on to clients the Zen reality: Clear Thinking, Don't Know. Those who claim otherwise - that is, that they know - should be inspected for any hidden agendas.

Careers? So Over. It’s about Earning a Good Living. No matter what.

America Not Hiring in 2026: Back to Golden Age of Solopreneurs?

 For hiring, 2025 was a brutal year to search for a job. The Wall Street Journal reports that 2026 could be worse: "At a gathering of CEOs in Midtown Manhattan this month organized by the Yale School of Management, 66% of leaders surveyed said they planned to either fire workers or maintain the size of their existing teams next year. Only a third indicated they planned to hire." The WSJ adds that pullback from adding manpower could be temporary. But given shareholders' demand for cost-efficiency and the continual improvements in AI, chronic unemployment could become standard. However, there is a solution. An old-fashioned one. That's becoming a solopreneur, that is setting up your own business without partners or employees. The model dates back to ancient times.  The golden age of the solo business owner in America had been from the late 1800s to about the mid 1920s.  There had been a wave of immigrants, discrimination against them and few jobs. They drove pushcarts ...

Newly Minted PhDs in Economics Face Unwelcoming Job Market: Of Course, I Left My PhD in Humanities Off the Resume

Monitor postings on Reddit subunits focused on careers and it's no longer news that PhDs, both newly minted and those already in the labor market, generally are finding the credential an obstacle in the search for a job or even contract assignments. No, not an asset.  Let's cut to the chase. The highly educated have to get smart about this, fast. With some exceptions, I advise those I coach to leave the PhD off job-search materials. The negative assumptions among those hiring range from that you expect too much money to you'll be a know-it-all.  When my boutique collapsed post-9/11 and I had to land a survival job I lopped off everything but the BA. At the interview I dumbed-down my vocabulary. Sure Harvard was started in 1636 but America remains anti-intellectual. In addition, the integration of AI into strategy and operations makes knowledge work in general less and less marketable.  That's the narrative of our times: Advanced degrees having low or no ROI. The result,...

Harvard and Grades: Leveling the Playing Field

  Today, faculty at Harvard vote on the issue of limiting "A" grades.  The perception has been that too many of those have been handed out but not earned.  It's common for Harvard College graduates to go after jobs in finance and consulting and apply to top law schools. Those require high grades. That's the first cut. Without those grades the edge of the investment of a Harvard education could be diminished. Hell, you could have gone to a state school. Obviously students oppose limiting the number of "A" grades. The playing field on which they compete for a future could be made more level. Earning a Good Living in 2026 Involves Mental Combat. The enemy is usually your own thinking. Complimentary consultation. No Pressure. Solid Guidance. Contact Jane Genova janegenova374@gmail.com.
