People with Big Heads Are Destined to Be CEOs

You know you’ve been there, you walk into a room, and you think, “Damn, that person’s got a humongous head… they must be in charge!” As of 2025, science is now agreeing with your gut. Some eyebrow-raising (if weirdly plausible) studies show that people with larger heads might have been genetically wired for corner offices, high-stakes deals, and expensive coffee machines. I should clarify that we’re not discussing puffed-up egos (though that’s also a given for prep-speak). We mean head size, from forehead to nape, temple to temple. Oh, and by the way, if you’re thinking about how big your dome is right now, the bigger your noggin, the greater your likelihood of running the boardroom.

Researchers who studied the human brain-to-ambition ratio (we just invented that ratio, but it is clickbait worthy, so run with it) said those with bigger skulls can also have a greater cognitive capacity, attention span, and strangely intense affinity for Excel columns. That extra cranial real estate is space for high-level thinking, long-term strategizing, and 147 different login passwords.

Those years of taunting as a child about having a “bobblehead” or being “lightbulb” were early signs of greatness. Who’s laughing now? (Answer: You, while you sip champagne in your corner office.) People with big heads are signing corporate paychecks for a few reasons:

They Think Bigger – Indeed, that cavernous head has an opulent amount of mental real estate. Big-headed people are likely to see the big picture, suitable for running teams or companies, or deciding whether the new logo should be eggshell or bone white.

They’re Wearing Bigger Hats – Offered point-blank and face-slappingly across the chin to all who answer to the title of CEO: You’re serving in a position that requires you to wear the hats of: leader, visionary, coffee maker, HR therapist, and part-time tech support. With a big head, there’s space for all those metaphorical hats and a stylish fitted cap.

They Can Handle the Pressure – A larger head means a greater capacity to tolerate extreme stress environments. Whether steering through market crashes or discovering the intern uploaded the company’s Twitter with memes, these are the ones who can keep it chill (or at least fake it until the PR team shows up).

They Pulled Opportunities To Themselves Like A Magnet – If all was lining up and things began to flow, it took me Launch to break into the black, and up around the world I went.

So, according to the science we all believe, having a big head creates a gravitational pull for business opportunities. It’s either that or the innate confidence produced by a large forehead that shouts, “I know things.” Consider the C.E.O.s you know, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey. Coincidence? Or does their head-to-body ratio speak more than we believe? Forget checking out the shoes or the handshake, the next time you are networking at a business brunch, keep an eye on the circumference. If a person walks in and their head walks in five seconds before the rest of them walk in, it’s something to remember.” You’re likely in the presence of a future Fortune 500 mogul. Respect the radius.

And don’t fret if you aren’t in the big-head club. There are plenty of CEOs who succeed in companies of all sizes. Some have just got great vision and determination (and secretly, probably, wear padded helmet liners for inspiration). But if you’ve always felt self-conscious about your head, guess what? 2025 is your year. Begin rehearsing your TED Talk voice and tell your assistant to only serve you sparkling water from the Alps. You’ve earned it.

In the new era of head-size enlightenment, we have this to tell you: Own your dome. It’s not just holding your brain; it’s holding your destiny. So next time someone tells you you’ve got a pretty big head on you, you give a wise nod, fix your executive suit-fat cat collar AND SAY, “YUP. I was just born to be a leader.” Whether gauging head size with a tape measure or sizing up the office alpha energy, the fact is obvious: Big heads mean big business.

Leave a comment below and let us know if your big head is already devising a company takeover or you’re suddenly reconsidering your next hat purchase. Either way, we want to hear from you. LOL.

An independent musician in the music industry in 2025, based on data up to October 2023. Here are seven crucial devices that every DIY artist must incorporate into their workflow this year.

DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations)

Every music production setup has a foundation, and that foundation is a DAW. There are many DAWs available in 2025, and each of them may serve a different type of need:

Ableton Live 12: Famous for its easy-to-use Session View and Arrangement View, Ableton Live 12 has built-in live performance and studio recording integration. It brings improved MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support and a new Clip View so songwriters will have more expressive potential.

FL Studio 25: With an interface designed for beatmakers and electronic music producers, FL Studio 25 features a user-friendly layout, a powerful piano roll, and lifetime free updates for a long-term software option.

Logic Pro 11: Logic Pro 11, available only on macOS and iPadOS, provides an extensive range of advanced tools for spatial audio, extensive virtual instruments, and a designed experience for novice and pro users.

Tools For Generating Music Using AI

AI has made great progress toward writing music:

YouTube’s Music Assistant: This AI-powered tool enables creators to create personalized, royalty-free background music based on descriptive prompts. It is especially helpful for content creators who need rapid and inspired soundtracks that won’t be flagged for copyright issues.

Guitar Amp Modeling Hardware

For guitarists who are looking to achieve vintage tones without the weight of most other gear:

Amp modelers and profilers: Things like Fractal Audio, Line 6, Neural DSP, and Kemper allow musicians to digitally replicate classic amplifier sounds. Now, you have affordable, high-end tones for your live performance and studio recordings without the expensive and heavy gear.

Music Distribution Platforms

To which I say this, getting your music on primary streaming services is crucial, so:

GYROstream: This Australian-based service helps indie musicians distribute their music to Spotify and Apple Music. In addition to distribution, GYROstream provides publicist, radio playlisting, and digital marketing services, making it a one-stop shop for artists looking to extend their reach.

Marketing and Promotion Tools

You are only as good as your marketing, promoting your tunes.

Mailchimp: An email marketing platform that allows artists to communicate directly with fans via newsletters and updates.

Content Studios: A social media management tool that allows scheduling and monitoring of posts across various platforms, ensuring a consistent online presence.

Linktree: One link to link them all consolidates multiple links into a common page that can be embedded directly into a social platform, making it easier for fans to access music, merchandise, and social profiles.

Collaboration and File Sharing Tools

Collaboration is also an essential part of making music:

Google Drive and Dropbox: These cloud storage services make it easy to share project files, stems, and mixes, aiding remote collaboration between artists, producers, and engineers.

Slack: A messaging app for teams that makes it easy to talk with colleagues and share files, essentially bringing a well-done text chat to the office.

Music Licensing Platforms

There are a few ways you could monetize your music through licensing:

Pond5, AudioJungle, Artlist. These websites provide marketplaces for artists to license their music for films, commercials, and other media projects. This generates revenue for musicians and exposure to new audiences by uploading tracks to these services.

By 2025, the DIY musicians’ toolkit will be overflowing with resources that can help them not only write and record music but also launch and promote it. As a result, artists have more options than ever to exercise creative freedom, engage with broader fan bases, and forge sustainable careers according to their wishes.
