@ishand YC wouldn't exist without UIUC. My father went there on a Fullbright in the 1950s and liked America so much that he was determined to return.

Recently, a few different people have told me that: “[They] learn something new in the majority of conversations we have”

It made me realize that I learn something new from those select people in every conversation also…

I think I have cultivated the right tribe to be around.

6. Learn, endlessly

“Knowledge is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world” -Nelson Mandela

A truly unbeatable person is someone who never quits, and learns from every experience. Gather too many skills that you are un-replicable

Here’s what the last few months taught me (Told by pictures) ⬇️

5. Fight for problems worth fighting for

You get one chance to leave an impact on history. Chose to spend your time working on what you believe is most important to you and humanity as a whole.

Any startups looking for a catalyst?

Mechatronics, Space, manufacturing-I’m all in.

Here’s the brief:

I’m looking for something to grind on this Spring.

I graduate UIUC with a MechE degree with 2.5+ years of Mechatronics, I&T, Manufacturing, and Design experience from Northrop Grumman Space Systems and Hinetics (Building aircraft Electric Motors) this December.

[Justin Fiore @Justin_Fiore31]

I’m applying for graduate school (Fall 2025) for space robotics and systems design and have a startup strategy/growth background.

My other Spring/Summer plans have fizzled out.

I want to change the world.

[Justin Fiore @Justin_Fiore31]

These are uncertain problems, but these are the types of problems humans are specially enabled to solve. This should be exciting

With humanity pushing to colonise Mars and SpaceX dedicating more resources to developing a self sustaining city there, this will mark the first time Humaity is moving away from their parents house and out of their hometown.

Quite possibly, an international group may need to be formed to return astronauts to Earth in case of colony failure-regardless of economical impact
