The Most Powerful Bull in the World
Meet the Lamborghini Fenomeno — a $3.5 million V-12 masterpiece unveiled just two days ago at The Quail. It’s not only stunning; it’s the most powerful Lamborghini ever built.
This bull reminds me of three truths:
Motivation can spark from anywhere.
Innovation beats imitation every time.
Even in a crowded market, there’s always room for one more
Ferruccio Lamborghini never planned to build supercars. He was already thriving as a tractor manufacturer. But after a heated exchange with Enzo Ferrari—who dismissed him with a “tractor driver’s opinion”—Lamborghini turned frustration into fuel. Rather than accept Ferrari’s dominance, he set out to prove he could do better. That spark of rivalry created one of the greatest names in automotive history.
It’s the same in business. The market may feel tight right now, but there are still endless ways to win. You just have to be willing to use frustration as fuel. Find your niche, then outwork, outthink, and outlast the competition. There’s always room for one more — all you have to do is write your story.
5 Ways to Compete and Win
Mindset: Scarcity is a Myth
One person’s win doesn’t diminish your opportunity; it expands the proof of what’s possible.
Someone’s dominance is not a finish line — it’s an invitation to do better.
Raise the Bar
A dominant player sets the bar higher for everyone else.
Rivals don’t block your story — they sharpen it.
Pressure Creates Power
When others diminish rise to the occasion.
Use their dominance as motivation to innovate, not imitate.
Write your own Legacy
Success isn’t about being “the first,” it’s about writingyour version of impact.
Legacy is measured by the story you create, not the story you emulate
Finding the Market Gap
Ferrari was building racing-focused machines — raw, loud, and temperamental. Lamborghini saw an opportunity: build cars that were just as fast and beautiful, but more refined, more comfortable, and better suited for luxury road driving. He didn’t copy Ferrari — he created his own lane.
Own the Rivalry, don’t Run from It
Lamborghini didn’t shy away from Ferrari’s dominance. He leaned into it. The rivalry itself became part of the story — fueling publicity, pushing both brands, and inspiring customers who loved the idea of choosing sides.
Success isn’t reserved for the few — it’s claimed by those who keep showing up. #FuelYourFire

Seth Godin’s The Song of Significance is a call to leaders and teams to reject the outdated, industrial “factory model” of work that prioritizes efficiency and compliance over meaning and humanity. Instead, he argues for building “significant organizations”… places where people grow, contribute their best, and create lasting value together.
