A dead MIT professor accidentally destroyed the $25 billion executive coaching industry with one hour of lecture, and ten million people have already watched him do it.

He filmed it once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.

Executive coaches charge sixteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in that one hour for free.

His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.

Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."

That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.

Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.

The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.

Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.

The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.

The answer is in this video. Don't miss this gem.

@IvynSambo We need to report the people bridging electricity, and the people selling tokens at 10% what we all pay. ... The problem is that we have so many people not paying for Electricity

This powerful scene from Taking Chance (2009) 🎬captures the quiet dignity, profound respect, and human cost of bringing a fallen hero home. Kevin Bacon delivers a masterclass in understated emotion as Lt. Col. Mike Strobl.

After conducting an unannounced oversight visit at the NSFAS offices we discovered that the 4 middleman companies, we were told were terminated, are still performing functions on behalf of NSFAS.

NSFAS could be spending over 220 Million EVERY YEAR on 4 middleman companies!

Just imagine how many students could be funded if this money was not wasted on these schemes? This is beyond greed. It’s sickening!

We have written to Buti Manamela to explain this blatant heist of public resources.

Mbekezeli Mbokazi. A 20-year-old dropping a masterclass like this in a World Cup knockout game? The student just became the teacher. 91% pass accuracy. Six ground duels won. Five clearances. Three recoveries. Two tackles and an interception. The future is bright for this baller.

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

Mbekezeli Mbokazi. TLB. What a colossal defender.

My Man of the Match regardless of the result.

Operating as a centre-back/left centre-back, possesses an outstanding passing repertoire. Genuine playmaker from deep zones, capable of breaking lines through the thirds, switching play with precision, and dictating possession from the back.

Brilliant left foot (a weapon in build-up), allowing him to progress attacks rather than merely circulate possession. Outstanding distribution abilities.

What truly impresses me is his work without the ball. He reads danger early, positions himself intelligently, and consistently arrives in the right place at the right time.

Clearances, blocks, interceptions, recovery runs: he does the fundamentals at an elite level. Rather than diving into challenges, he prefers to anticipate and extinguish attacks before they develop.

Pace allows him to defend large spaces, his 1v1 defending is aggressive yet controlled, and he looks remarkably comfortable defending wide channels when isolated.

In an era where centre-backs are constantly exposed in transition, those qualities are invaluable.

20 y/o and already one of South Africa's brightest defensive prospects. You did your country proud today.

Regardless of the scoreline, that was a centre-back performance full of courage, composure and immense quality.

The future is incredibly bright. 👏🇿🇦
