A growing number of colleges are dangling merit aid as bait for prospective students who can raise the school’s profile. @ronlieber on what parents should know: https://t.co/PCfl0bhK61

The default math class in high school should be Statistics instead of Calculus

Gen Z traits I admire:
- they are not camera shy
- they know how to market themselves (tiktok, insta)
- creativity is valued from a young age (everyone's bio reads: influencer / artist / poet / etc)

feels like the next-gen of entrepreneurs will be bigger than ever

Prototype the absolute simplest version of your dream product.

Use it yourself first. Also include teammates, friends & fools.

Then pause for a week.

Do you miss your product?

If the answer is “yes”, you are onto something.

A practical heuristic for future value.

It’s been a wonderfully exciting few days for DMV and the Black Innovation Fellowship. We were honoured to have @Shopify, @BMO and The @cdnwomenfdn join us alongside @RyersonDMZ, both at #CollisionConf yesterday, and at our launch event this morning.

@jasonlk I wish! But unfortunately it’s mainly luck, unfair advantages, and insane focus.

The only certain way to stay close to the customer is to be the customer.

You don't hire talented people to tell them what to do. You hire talented people to tell you what to do.

Creating something is hard. It could be a new business, a film, or writing a book.

Trust your instincts. The world will remind you what you cannot do. Until you do it.

[Vlad Magdalin @callmevlad]

If software is already eating the world today, and only ONE out of 400 people can create software (I have receipts!), then imagine how different the world could be if we empower ONE HUNDRED out of 400 people to create it!

Why would we NOT try to do that!?
