work blogging is hard.

i have spent the last two hours NOT publishing a blurb on my org's blog because i think i'm too stupid. i didn't go to business school, i cannot read more than two sentences of the wallstreet journal without nodding off, and besides... i can't keep on track. especially when there is gchat.

me: i'm feeling a bit frustrated

Alexandra: uh oh about what?

me: this blog

i hate it

i so do not know what i'm talking about

Alexandra: oooh yeah thats tough, whats the topic?

me: not sure lol

Alexandra: haha

me: what a social enterprise stock market would look like and how non profs and for profs are merging

ew.

i dont even know what that means

Alexandra: social enterprise stock market? where they dont necessarily try to maximize shareholder profits? they somehow measure social benefits?

me: yes

but its unclear

because non-profs and for-profs would be going head to head... but for-profs would obviously get more investors because of possibility for financial return too...

which means

more companies like IC companies would flourish

cuz they provide both

BUT

that kinda erodes NPs alltogether... and they bring a little sumin sumin else to the table

so is it really the best atmosphere for our world? will anything even EXIST that doesn't drive off of capital???

Alexandra: true. and its really complicated to try to quantify their social "profit" to compete with financial

me: (i am obviously anti... which is why i do not belong in this sector) lol

exactly
but Bcorp could be the answer and i'm trying to wrap them in here

Alexandra: hmmm

smart lady

me: (but i'm afraid if i write what i just did to you... that i am incorrect with understanding what a social stock exchange even IS and then make IC look dumb publicly)

gulp.

Alexandra: right. wikipedia?

me: good call



back to work.
