Warnings From Charlie Kirk’s Assassination and the Cultural Revolution_Joanne Tan Shares a Family Tragedy_Season 2, Episode 75
The shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 11, 2025 forces us to confront a sobering reality: political divisiveness and violence can tear a nation apart. At this fragile moment, each of us must choose whether to be consumed by hatred—or to call forth our better angels. To read it as a 3-min blog To watch it as a 7-min video From Personal Tragedy to National Warning In this episode, Joanne Z. Tan shares an intensely personal story. As a child in China during the Cultural Revolution, she witnessed how political passion, once inflamed, turned ordinary citizens into enemies. Her father, a professor, was exiled and died in forced labor. Her stepbrother’s mother, a school principal, took her own life after brutal persecution. Millions of others were betrayed, beaten, or killed. These tragedies are not just history lessons. They are warnings for today’s America. The same forces—demonization, manipulation, blind obedience, self-righteous anger—can surface here if we fail to see each other’s humanity. Why We Must Be Better Angels Joanne urges us to: Resist the pull of hatred, even when politically provoked. See the human side of those who vote or think differently. Remember that no good comes from violence—ever. Practice civility, tolerance, and respect as patriotic duty. We hold democracy in our own hands. Every word, every action matters. In divisive times, being our better angels may be the most radical form of leadership. About Joanne Z. Tan Joanne Z. Tan is the Founder & CEO of 10 Plus Brand, Inc., a brand strategist, thought leadership coach, writer, and speaker. She helps executives, board members, entrepreneurs, and organizations decode their Brand DNA, build trust in the AI age, and lead with authenticity. A former journalist, award-winning photographic artist, and immigrant from China, Joanne was trained in law and business here in the US, and had a liberal arts education before earning a law degree.

How to Build Brand Authenticity in the Age of AI_(full article)_Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 74
In today’s world flooded with AI-generated content and “AI slop,” one quality stands out as the ultimate differentiator: Brand Authenticity. AI is a powerful tool, but it can’t replicate humanity. Half of consumers say AI content feels “off” or inauthentic. So how can your brand leverage AI without losing the human touch? Joanne explores how to let AI handle efficiency, while humans own creativity, storytelling, and emotional connection. In this video, global brand strategist and thought leadership coach Joanne Z. Tan unpacks:✅ What brand authenticity really means (beyond buzzwords)✅ How brands like Cracker Barrel and Coca-Cola show the risks of losing authenticity✅ Why “social-first” brands are outperforming others with double-digit growth✅ How AI is changing consumer perception—and why humans must lead creativity✅ Practical steps to protect your brand identity, vision, and trust in the AI era To read it as a 3-min blog To watch it as a 10-min video Why does authenticity matter more than ever? According to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer, trust in institutions is dropping, while trust in brands is rising. Consumers are no longer just buying products—they’re investing in purpose, values, and honesty. Brands that “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are the ones building loyalty, stability, and real human connection. 🔑 Questions to consider for your own brand: What do you truly stand for? How do your brand promises align with your actions? Where should humans control, and where should AI support? If you want to rise above the AI noise and build a brand that people trust, follow, and love, this video will give you the frameworks and insights you need. Timestamps:0:00 – Why Brand Authenticity matters now2:45 – Trust shift: from institutions to brands5:10 – What authenticity looks like in practice8:20 – The AI dilemma: efficiency vs. human connection12:15 – Case studies: Cracker Barrel & Coca-Cola15:40 – Building an authenticity strategy for the AI Age About Joanne Z.

How to be your authentic brand in the AI Age?_"SoS - Sip of Solace": 1-minute Tips from Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 73
So what IS brand authenticity, and how to build it, in the AI age? – Decode your brand DNA, clarify your vision, and decide what humans control—and what AI supports. Humans must lead the creative work of connecting with other humans. That’s how you build an authentic brand that lasts. Consumers trust brands more than governments or media—but only when brands live by real values, vision, and purpose. Brands that show up authentically in culture and community. - To read it as a half-min blog   - To watch it as a 1-minute video Half of consumers say AI content turns them off. Coca-Cola’s AI polar bear ad? Backlash. Because people can feel when the human touch is missing. Consumers aren’t fooled by polished AI “slop”.  AI is powerful for research and efficiency. But when it takes over your brand’s voice, you risk losing trust. Authenticity builds trust. Trust builds loyalty. Take Cracker Barrel. When they tried changing their logo, customers pushed back. Why? Because authenticity is about staying true to your identity, history, and soul. In a rising sea of AI-enabled mediocrity, what makes a brand stand out? One word: authenticity. 👉 To read the FULL 3-min article 👉 Watch the full version as a video 👉 Listen to the full version as a podcast 👉To dig deeper and get more insights, subscribe to our Newsletter   Stay tuned for my next one-minute “Sip of Solace - Thought Leadership Coaching Tips”.   ©Joanne Z.

When, How, and Why We Need to Celebrate, in Big and Small Ways_(full article)_Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 72
"Happiness, to a large extent, depends on what you choose to pay attention to," "the journey IS the destination," says Joanne Z. Tan. By celebrating each mile, step, or inch forward, you fuel the momentum for the next milestone. 👉 Key Takeaways from this video: ✨ Celebrate often. Celebrate here and now. Celebrate yourself, your team, and the small victories that shape the bigger picture. ✨Celebrate not only milestones but also incremental progress. ✨Use celebration as a leadership practice to build morale and trust. ✨Anchor yourself in values while embracing change in the AI era. ✨Learn to reframe ordinary actions into celebrations that fuel growth. ✨Recognize that the journey itself is worth celebrating.   - To read the full 3-minute article by Joanne Z. Tan  - To watch the full 5-minute video - To dig deeper and learn more, subscribe to our Newsletter When do you need celebration the most? Not just at birthdays, holidays, or after major milestones—but in the darker moments, during setbacks, disappointments, and failures. Learning to celebrate small steps is one of the most powerful mental skills you can cultivate. "Happiness, to a large extent, depends on what you choose to pay attention to", says Joanne Z. Tan. By celebrating each mile, step, or inch forward, you fuel the momentum for the next milestone. As a Chinese proverb says, “Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still.” Why Celebration Matters Celebration is more than a party—it’s a discipline. It re-frames ordinary experiences into opportunities for meaning, joy, and resilience. Whether it’s a grand adventure to mark the completion of a book or something as simple as savoring one square of dark chocolate, celebration anchors us in the present moment. Celebrate big: Mark life’s turning points with unforgettable experiences. Celebrate small: Take joy in a walk, a moment of reflection, or the satisfaction of organizing your space. Celebrate daily: Even the smallest rituals build resilience, gratitude, and clarity. Celebration as a Leadership Skill In turbulent times—economic uncertainty, political divides, and the accelerating AI age—leaders must learn to anchor their teams while also catching the wind of opportunity. The secret? Celebrate small wins. Acknowledge your crew’s incremental achievements. Build trust and camaraderie through shared joy. Remember that "the journey itself is the destination", per Joanne Z. Tan. As Lao Tzu reminds us, “He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.” Celebrate Here and Now Celebration is not narcissism—it’s gratitude in action. It builds a virtuous cycle: each small accomplishment sparks the desire to set new goals, which leads to new reasons to celebrate. Even in hostile or uncertain environments, this practice helps you see the silver lining and stay grounded in your values. As Joanne Z. Tan says in her leadership coaching: “Be both the anchor and sails to those you lead.”   About Joanne Z. Tan Joanne Z.

Celebrate Here and Now!_"SoS" - Sip of Solace: 1-minute thought leadership tips from Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 71
As Joanne Z. Tan emphasizes, celebration is a leadership skill, a mental discipline, and a path to success. By learning to direct your focus toward the uplifting, you gain control over your state of happiness and empower those around you. Happiness is not a reaction, it’s a choice. Celebration is your daily practice for resilience, connection, and leadership impact. When do we need celebration the most? Paradoxically, in the darkest moments. True leaders and professionals can redirect attention from despair toward something—anything—worth honoring. Why Celebrate the Everyday Celebration doesn’t require birthdays or milestones. Every step along your journey matters. By celebrating daily, you train your mind to live here and now—content, fulfilled, and grounded, even in turbulent environments. The Leadership Edge in Celebration In times of economic uncertainty and political divide, leaders have a unique role: Celebrate small wins—yours and your team’s.

Buckle Your Seatbelt (with a brand audit)!_Joanne Z. Tan_Episode 70, Season 2
This episode explores why a brand audit is the smartest way to ensure your anchor holds and your sails are ready—so you don’t just drift with the crowd, but chart your own course. Our world is shifting fast—what worked in calm waters won’t hold in turbulence. Storms are coming—will your brand sink or sail? A quick audit could be the difference between drifting and thriving. Leaders and organizations alike need to check their anchors (values, beliefs, purpose) and trim their sails (strategies, plans, adaptability). A solid anchor keeps you steady; well-set sails let you harness the winds of AI, economics, and change to reach your true destination. Bon voyage.

Tan has witnessed this pattern while helping leaders and companies with corporate identity, renaming, branding, and rebranding.   Create business names that are both  "user-friendly and owner-proprietary", said Joanne Z. Tan. - To read it as a 3-min blog - To watch it as a 6-minute video Think about it: What’s Amazon got to do with the river? Nothing. What’s Apple got to do with the fruit? Nothing. What’s Axion got to do with house cleaning products? Nothing. That’s exactly the point. A strong business name doesn’t have to describe the product or service—it needs to be short, crisp (2–3 syllables), easy to remember, and owner-proprietary. Names like Apple, Nvidia, or Google work because they’re simple and open for the brand to define. Done right, naming gives you control of your own story without letting others reframe it. Done wrong, it can box you in for years, and make you lose control of its ownership. How do you get it right? That’s a deep, tailored process. Joanne Z. Tan, with nearly two decades of experience in brand identity and corporate naming, unpacks these ideas further in her upcoming book Brand Building and Thought Leadership Coaching in the AI Age. 👉 Get a sneak preview by subscribing to the newsletter: 10 Plus Brand Newsletter Is it time to reinvent, rename, rebrand your organization?  If you need an initial consultation, please use the contact form on 10PlusBrand.com ©Joanne Z.

How do you know what's important? (hint: DEATH!)_ "(SoS) - Sip of Solace: Joanne Z. Tan's 1-min Thought Leadership Coaching Tips"_Season 2, Episode 68
There is nothing morbid or fearful about the thought of death. It is the final equalizer. “Begin with the end in mind,” said Stephen Covey.  PRETEND that your doctor told you that you have two years to live (God forbid). What will you let go or stop doing? What will you regret that you never did? What will you start doing right now?  Sometimes the easiest way to reset a computer is to turn it off and back on again. In life, we can leverage the thought of mortality to reset our priorities. We can simplify and clarify what’s important. It lets us see what we missed.  The reminder of our own mortality makes us humble, grateful, peaceful, and focused. It helps us let go of distractions, keep our eyes on the horizon, stay true to ourselves, and rejoice in living. It makes us appreciate our relationships and simple things that we’ve taken for granted.  To dig more, subscribe to our Newsletter Stay tuned for my next one-minute “Sip of Solace - Thought Leadership Coaching Tips”. - To read it as a half-min blog - To watch it as a 1-minute video ©Joanne Z.

What does it take to be a thought leader? - (Pt. 2 of 3): 5 Ways to Build Thought Leadership_Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 63
What are the 5 ways to build thought leadership?  This Part 2 is the second 3-minute segment of a 3-part "Five Ways to Build Thought Leadership in the Age of AI".  - To read Pt. 2 as a 2-min blog - To watch Pt. 2 as a 3-minute video - To listen to the ENTIRE 10-minute (all 3 parts) (coming soon) Thought leadership in the AI Age is multifaceted, multi-disciplinary, and multidimensional. It is a combination of at least five elements, based upon a whole-person approach: First, Vision, Principle, Character. Perhaps the most important characteristic of thought leadership is to “stand for something.”  Thought leaders lead with vision, foresight, and a commanding view of a bigger picture. They are driven by purpose, mission, and goals, and so are their organizations. Second, Originality.  You cannot be a thought LEADER by recycling AI generated ideas. Thought leaders must be innovative thinkers. They bring unique insights to their teams and organizations. They encourage others to think differently, and foster a culture of innovation by making it safe to experiment and fail.  Third, EQ.  AI can’t replace human-to-human connections. Teamwork and collaboration, based on EQ and intrinsic motivation, has become an important facet of thought leadership.  Fourth, Curiosity.  Fifth, Inter-disciplinary.  (In the 3rd and final segment, you will learn how a thought leadership coach can help, in at least five ways.) ©Joanne Z.

Jensen Huang on AI, synthetic data, & his American Dream (Pt 3 of 3)_Summary & Comments by Joanne Z. Tan_Season 2, Episode 61
Jensen Huang on why AI will be indispensable, how he uses AI, synthetic data and AI generated knowledge in 10 years to be 99% on all AIs, and his own American Dream. This Part 3 is the third and last 10-minute segment of a 3-part recording of Jensen Huang’s entire 30-minute talk in Stanford on July 26, 2025.  Part 3 Summary:  to read Pt. 3 as a 5-min blog To watch Pt. 3 as a 16-minute video Part 3 Summary:  Jensen Huang advised young people to learn how to reason and break things down to first principles. To know what the first principles are: “Go to school!” In answering the concerns about human collective intelligence of managing the collective intelligence of AGI, Jensen Huang stated that “... human generated knowledge and human generated data would today be 99%, in about 10 years it will probably be 1%. The vast majority of human knowledge will be generated by AI. It will be AI generated data that the other AIs learn from,...it’s going to be synthetic generated intelligence. …that's just intelligence, it is not a big deal, It's just data…that the amount of AI generated knowledge is to be incredibly high.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:)  I respectfully disagree with Jensen Huang regarding synthetic data:  I wrote an article (link below) seven months ago, analogizing the danger of synthetic data to Norman Rockwell’s famous painting, “The Gossips”. What may start as a story about a “cat”, may end up being about an “elephant” after being passed through 15 people. It is therefore important to label data either as originating from a source or as synthetic, before being used to train AI and becoming untraceable, to avoid misinformation that can cause catastrophes like a financial market meltdown. Here is my article: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/01/13/synthetic-data-ai-toxic-assets-financial-crises-2008-1987-joanne-z-tan/ This point is echoed by a prominent expert in the AI fintech industry, who was also a chief data officer at both state and federal government levels, in the “Interviews of Notables and Influencers”. The subheadings about synthetic data speak for themselves: https://10plusbrand.com/2025/04/07/ai-future-synthetic-data-ai-mistakes-ai-governance-crypto-regulations-knowledge-economy-tammy-roust-interview-joanne-z-tan/ (At 46’21”): “Untagged synthetic data pose systemic risks; model collapse; The real danders from AI hallucination”  (At 49’56”): “Need for auto tagging of synthetic data when it is being generated and used; the danger of group think” and “We need to have a human consensus mechanism & AI governance committee to correct AI’s mistakes”. Jensen Huang said this about AI: “You want the smartest friends? You want the most productive friends?...go engage AI as fast as possible, because they’re super, super smart and they're going to help you solve problems.”  “It's also the case that we want second opinions, and third opinions. I use multiple AIs at the same time solving the same problems. And I take the answers from one and I give it to the other one. I'll make the second one judge the first one: What do you think about this answer?...And I ask each one of them to produce, you know, based on everything that you’ve now learned, why don’t you reflect on what I told you and what I gave you, and then give me a better answer. And so you notice I'm interacting with AI the way I interact with people, I want them on my side, I want them to work with me.” (Comments from Joanne Z. Tan:) The above sounds like circular reasoning to me. If nothing is done to label synthetic data used by all AI models, what makes their second and third opinions any more reliable? Without holding AI accountable by resorting to “first principle thinking” that Jensen Huang has applied over and over, what makes AI smarter or credible? Assuming that Jensen Huang’s preference for human control over AI tools is not hijacked by AI yet, AI is threatening human intelligence with this “double whammy”: By automating tasks, AI will tak

Will AI Take Away Human Jobs? - Jensen Huang's Talk (Pt 2 of 3) Summary by Joanne Z. Tan, Thought Leadership Coach_Season 2, Episode 60
“AI is about solving these cognitive, reasoning, planning, and search problems.” “And it comes down to one thing: Do you have more ideas than you wish you could pursue if you were more productive? Do you have more dreams, and they can come true, if you had more time? And if you have those things, productivity is going to result in your growth. But if you don’t, then productivity is going to result in more idle time.” This Part 2 is the second 10-minute segment of a 3-part recording of Jensen Huang’s entire 30-minute talk in Stanford.  Part 2 Summary:  Jensen Huang continued a belief system or vision has to come from first principle thinking, first principle computer science or physics or economics. "First principle reasoning, added to it, was inspiration.” He states that principled thinking was really important in arriving at . “Then you gut check that literally every single day,... continuously re-evaluate our strategies and our decisions.” Jensen Huang explained how Moore’s Law is evidenced in computation, AI advancement, and the dramatic cost reduction. Then he observed that Nvidia’s computing platform can enable changes in algorithm, architecture, system, silicon, and fundamental computation - all at the same time.  Jensen explained about a prediction he made a decade ago, and it helped Nvidia to reinvent and reframe itself from a chip company to building entire data centers. He predicted that AGI will take less than two years to achieve superhuman levels. Learn why Jensen Huang believes that AI will not take over human intelligence, but help us with tasks and free us to pursue more dreams, hopes, aspirations, and ideas. “I think we will be busier than ever.” (Jensen Huang’s remaining 10-minute talk, with Joanne Z.

Jensen Huang's Talk: His Big Bet 30 Years Ago_(Part 1 of 3)_Summary by Joanne Z. Tan, Thought Leadership Coach_Season 2, Episode 59
“If we build it, will they come?” Jensen said: “If we don’t build it, they can’t come.” “You have to believe in what you believe, and you have to pursue that belief.” “This is at the core of our company.” The “big bet” Jensen Huang made 30 years ago:  by inventing the technology AND the market at the same time, Jensen aimed to expand, augment, and accelerate general purpose computing CPUs with specialized algorithms for the video game niche. Jensen Huang had the foresight three decades ago to create CUDA, a compatible accelerated computing architecture that became the pillars for AI advancement today. The visualized hardware platform invented in 1994 demanded that Nvidia grow other parts of the “flywheel”: developer ecosystem, install base, and the subsequent demand for GPUs invented by Nvidia.  Read it as a 5-min blog Watch it as a 12-min video   ©Joanne Z.
