.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:
“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”
“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”
“I never take in any negativity.”
"Unless it's a top university, go to the cheapest one that you like."
This is the right advice for those deciding on which college to attend when thinking about future employment
Going to Boston University or Oberlin just won't matter

Calling all Boston/MetroWest parents who are interested in the Alpha School and the innovation that’s occurring right now in the education space! I’ve been following this movement for years for my own kids and the much needed disruption is happening with Alpha’s @jliemandt at the helm!
I'd love to open a Boston Alpha School. I'm always looking for an excuse to go to Red Sox games with my daughters.

We're partnering with @KhanAcademy to bring a suite of Gemini-powered learning and literacy tools to students, starting with the Writing Coach tool.
Writing Coach doesn’t generate answers or deliver a finished product — it walks students through the process of outlining, drafting and refining their own ideas. #BettUK2026
I just spent an hour long car ride hashing out ideas in a conversation with British accent Grok. I don’t think I could’ve discovered that level of pointed, technical advice if I spent an entire day researching. The power of AI is real.

Landman has become one of my favorite shows. I love hearing stories of the real wildcatters out there now that I know how Monty works...

I did a bunch of analysis of the AI 50 produced by Fortune this year (not perfect, but vaguely right).
Of the 50 companies listed, 2 are Boston (actually Cambridge), Suno and OpenEvidence. OpenEvidence is headquartered in Miami. So, 1 out of 50 is actually in Greater Boston. Thank you @MikeyShulman!
17 of the 50 top ai companies have founders that went to school in Boston.
The average age of those 17 founders was 28.5 years old when they started the company.
We need to make Boston a great place to start a company. We need to make Boston an extremely attractive place for new grads to put down roots. There is a lot to like about Boston!
A bunch of us are getting together on Wednesday night to talk about it. This is a problem worth solving.
Lets continue discussing, debating, and engaging on how to improve the region.
I'd like to see some of the elected officials who are DM'g me weigh in here.
I’m in real estate development and am blown away by the demand change because of these factors. MA is so heavily reliant on biotech and GVT funding to our institutions that when those to drivers crashed, growth here essentially stopped but our policies (affordability % in new construction, taxes) are still reflecting of the good times.
