Lots to unpack here. As a founder/employee/job applicant. A big yes to accompanying podcasts.

Amazing stuff! Corporate culture shapes everything. By the way, how you string words together is quite captivating. ‘Kundus’ to you. 😊

The use of analogies (e.g immune system, religion) was spot on, and provided additional context in helping the reader understand the points being made.

For an operator, cultural translation is critical and I'm glad this was highlighted in the write-up. The ability to contextualize "what is said" and "what is done" cannot be overemphasized. Like they say "when in Rome..." I agree that this can be difficult as the personality in question plays a crucial role in "adapting".

Reading this piece is a reminder that some things are not a product of geography but a reflection of human condition/human nature.
