This week, we are thinking about “influence” and how it is changing the world today.

We all saw how people behind a Reddit group r/wallstreetbets are winning against the big hedge funds and short-sellers, which is unthinkable ten years ago. Technology has democratized almost everything and now average people are having a new kind of “influence” on the world. On the other hand, people were flocking to the Clubhouse app to listen to what Elon Musk has to say about the fiasco and how he will gruel Robinhood CEO. Actually, it’s the powerful influencers who are driving the meteoric rise of the unicorn app. Yeah, we are living in a world where everything is possible in any direction. Share your thoughts on who’ll be winning the game of “influencing” others! 🙉
