In an interview with Stratechery on April 25, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38475758/walmart-ceo-reaps-976-times-the-annual-salary-of-a-walmart-median-associate">Walmart Inc. CEO Doug McMillon</a> discussed the retail giant's evolution into an omnichannel retailer, achieving significant milestones such as surpassing $100 billion in global e-commerce sales. McMillon's journey, which started working in a warehouse at age 17, reflects a deep connection with the company's core operations and growth.

<li>If the United States had access to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/public-hys-avgamerican"> today&#8217;s high-yield savings accounts rates</a> in 2015, it wouldn&#8217;t need to save another penny.</li>
</ul>
He highlighted the integration of physical and online retail as a critical strategy.
"The company is increasingly where it always wanted to be — an omnichannel retailer leveraging its stores to differentiate its e-commerce offering," he said.
This approach is not just about expanding sales channels but also about enhancing customer experience and service.
McMillon shared a personal anecdote that illustrates a key aspect of his leadership philosophy — proactivity and readiness to take on additional responsibilities. McMillon attributed much of his career advancement to his willingness to "raise his hand" during critical moments, volunteering for challenging tasks and stepping in when opportunities arose.
"One of the reasons that I got the opportunities that I got was that I would raise my hand when my boss was out of town and he or she was visiting stores or something and someone needed to pinch hit and go to a meeting, I would go," McMillon said.&nbsp;

This proactive approach allowed him to demonstrate his capabilities and positioned him as a dependable choice for higher responsibilities.
McMillon elaborated on his willingness to step up, noting his readiness to address challenges during these meetings.
"If I knew the answer to the question that came up, I'd share it, if I didn't, I'd say, ‘I don't know, but I'll find out fast and get back to you,'" he said.
This mindset reflects a larger culture within Walmart that values initiative and the ability to adapt and learn quickly — qualities that are essential for leadership. McMillon's experiences highlight how taking on additional responsibilities and being ready to fill in gaps can significantly impact your career trajectory and make you a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/04/38385768/gen-z-asks-why-they-cant-afford-to-live-i-do-not-want-to-hear-pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstrap">preferred candidate for advancement</a>.
While McMillon&#8217;s story emphasizes the value of proactivity and taking initiative, it&#8217;s important to acknowledge that not everyone has equal opportunities to raise their hand. Those with family or other commitments may be unable to take on extra work or travel on short notice. Additionally, systemic biases within organizations can sometimes prevent deserving candidates from being noticed, regardless of their willingness to go the extra mile.

By 2026, data centers&nbsp;are projected&nbsp;to consume over 1,000 terawatt-hours of electricity globally, more than double the levels seen in 2022, the report further noted, citing the International Energy Agency.&nbsp;

UBS Maintains Neutral on Armstrong World Indus, Raises Price Target to $122

Las Vegas resident Glauber Contessoto, famously known as the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/34016792/dogecoin-millionaires-holdings-drop-from-3m-to-50k-but-remains-optimistic-says-doge-will-r">Dogecoin Millionaire</a>,&#8221; took to his social media account to throw light on the concept of fair launches in the crypto markets.
What Happened: The heavily followed trader argues that the presence of snipers and bots has created an uneven playing field, making it nearly impossible for average investors to compete.
"These days, there is no such thing as a fair launch," Contessoto asserts. "Snipers, people who use bots and are fucking professional at it, are who you&#8217;re going against when a coin launches." He emphasizes that, this cannot be considered a fair launch, as these players are not adhering to the same rules as regular investors.
He further warns that attempting to participate in these launches is a surefire way to lose money, stating, "They&#8217;re not playing by the same rules as you, and you will lose money 100% of the time. Stop being completely delusional." He paints a picture of snipers waiting on the sidelines, ready to "crush and destroy a project the second it goes live."

Why It Matters: For the betterment of the situation, Contessoto suggests that the best outcome investors can hope for is to support projects with solid teams that understand the challenges posed by snipers and bots.
He advises teams to take proactive measures to protect their projects and communities. They could buy up most of the supply and distribute it over time, allowing the project to grow naturally with a thriving community as the market cap rises.
His suggestion to investors is to focus on these types of projects rather than chasing the so-called "fair launches" that are vulnerable to snipers and bots. He also warns that as soon as the snipers dump their bags within hours of launch, they move on to the next coin that they can demolish and make endless money.
Contessoto famously watched his fortune take a drastic plunge from $3 million to as low as $50,000 when he did not sell his Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) holdings after a massive run-up.
What&#8217;s Next: The influence of meme coins and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/is-bitcoin-a-good-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin as an institutional asset class</a> is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19.
