Alpha vs. Beta: 20 years

Recently I saw some online comments with side-by-side pictures of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos then (1997) vs. now (2017), then being before alpha male and now on alpha male stats. What a difference aging powerfully makes ! Aging for some CEOs is a blessing, as life turns them from unremarkable, some might say sheep, to powerful men. Bezos is not the only case of beta-turned-alpha. I also included here pictures of Muhtar Kent, long standing CEO of Coca-Cola who stepped down last May and is still its Chairman.

What a difference 20 or some years makes in people’s lives…If they can take it to the next level.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Most people that work in finance are soft as a cloud blanket. If you’re soft, you’re never gonna get anywhere.

What will your picture say in twenty years ? Or better yet, what statement do you make with your body now? You don’t have to wear an Armani suit, just casual.

Reader Alli is asking: Who is the alpha in this scene from Poolhard Junkies. Is it Christopher Walken (“Uncle Mike”) or Chaz Palminteri (“Joe”) ?
