Had a pretty great day in Pittsburgh last week with @SenMcCormickPA who understands workforce better than most politicians, and Wells Fargo, who – when it comes to workforce - continues to put their money where their mouth is.

The Senator showed me around his beloved city, and proved to be an excellent guide. We started with breakfast at a legendary local diner called Pamela’s. Me, the Senator, and the head of every trade union in town. Electric, plumbing, carpentry, HVAC…they were all there, and there was much to discuss about the state of work in the Keystone State. Great guys, great conversation, great omelet.

From there, we headed over to FerroWorks, the only mill in town that still pours steel. Once upon a time, there were a hundred steel mills like this one, up and down the river. Today, there is only one, but the pride and work ethic on display is impossible to ignore. Beyond their core manufacturing capabilities, FerroWorks is also dedicated to workforce development. The company actively runs metallurgy and metalworking training programs and apprenticeships to help grow the domestic manufacturing workforce. FerroWorks is known primarily for churning out the solid steel knuckles that connect railroad cars. Thousands and thousands and thousands of knuckles, since 1868. I swear, no place on earth looks more like work than a steel mill.

From there, we headed over to CCAC, a local community college that’s likewise committed to workforce development. The tour was very impressive. So much state-of-the-art technology, and so much talent on hand. Again – the pride that these teachers take in their work, and the enthusiasm of the students I met…just great. Reminded me of my own alma mater, another community college called Essex, back in the day.

After that, I joined a panel discussion with the Senator, my new friend Scott Mautino – who gave us the tour of FerroWorks – and Fernando Revas from @WellsFargo, who casually presented my foundation with a check for $1 million. That money will be earmarked to support workforce development in Pennsylvania. To say I’m grateful to Wells Fargo, and humbled by their ongoing support, would be an understatement.

Finally, the Senator took me to lunch at the Capital Grille with a couple dozen CEOs from Pennsylvania’s leading companies. All are intently focused on skilled labor, and all appeared to listen with great interest to what we’re doing at mikeroweWORKS, and what we’re about to do.

Suffice it to say, no state is doing more than Pennsylvania to drill down on this issue. Democrat, Republican, union, non-union…everyone has a seat at the table, because everyone has skin in the game. I’m super encouraged to see what’s next. Big thanks to Senator McCormick and Wells Fargo for leading the charge.

Mike

PS. The guy behind the podium is Manny Gomez, and he completely upstaged me and everyone else during the panel. In short, Manny started as a grinder at FerroWorks seven years ago, and worked his way up to a supervisor, overseeing 120 workers today. He came from a very tough part of town, and worked his way up with a level of determination and work ethic available to anyone, but seldom exercised. Manny is a rockstar, with a story that needs to be told.

Also of note, a couple of MRW scholarship recipients who happened to work in the area and dropped by to say hello and make me very proud. Zoey McEleeven applied for a work ethic scholarship last year from mikeroweWORKS, and got one, along with a badass tattoo. (Half woman, half tiger!) She’s working today as a diesel power systems tech who gets to travel all over the country doing what she loves.

Jason Taylor was also there, even though his hair was not. Jason was a janitor when he applied several years ago, and today, he’s the lead building tech at Chatham University, overseeing facilities. More importantly, Jason told me that his scholarship from MRW led to a series of domestic events that directly resulted in the birth of his two children. I didn’t ask for details but assume they were named after me, and remain deeply flattered.

Like I said, a pretty good day.

If you want more, the Pittsburgh Gazette did a nice write-up. Hopefully, it’s not behind a paywall. https://t.co/TGQQoKN3UW

I am beyond convinced that it’s impossible to be truly great at anything unless you experience an epic failure.

You need to feel rock bottom to put it all in perspective and show yourself how much you truly care about the final destination 💡.

David Sacks: Nonprofits need to manufacture problems in America to stay in business

David Sacks:

“Here's the systemic problem with nonprofits and NGOs.

Let me just contrast it with business.

In business, you set up a company, the company has to make revenue, it has to make profits.

And if it doesn't, it's going to go out of business, right? Because it'll lose money.

So there's a feedback mechanism from the market.

With an NGO, nonprofit, what have you, they raise money. They don't sell things.

They fundraise from donors in order to engage in an activity, but what happens over time is the actual activities may stop mattering, and all that really matters is they're able to keep fundraising, right?

Because they're just trying to figure out a justification to keep going back to donors to get more and more money out of them.

That's what perpetuates the organization.”

Chamath:

“ Why wouldn't the Southern Poverty Law Center focus on southern poverty? Which is an issue that actually still exists in some shape or form.

Why do you call it one thing, focus on racism, and then all of a sudden whip up fake racism?”

Sacks:

“I do think that at one time in this country, civil rights was a noble cause, a very legitimate cause.

We had the legacy of segregation and Jim Crow, and there were groups that were set up to basically change that, and they succeeded.

But again, no one in an NGO or a nonprofit ever declares victory.

When Obama got elected in 2008, regardless of whether you liked Obama or not, or agreed with his politics, I thought that at that point, most people could see that this was not a racist country.

Whatever else you could say, the fact that the highest office in the land was not denied to anybody showed that this country was not holding people back based on their skin color.

And instead of just basically packing up shop and saying, ‘Okay, we've achieved our goal,’ the goalposts all got moved.

Remember, that's when the whole anti-racism thing started, was around Obama's second term.

If they just said at that time, ‘You know what, we're going to move the goalposts from equality of opportunity to equality of results. We're going to basically make everyone equal at the finish line,’ which is to say, identity socialism.

People would've said, ‘Eh, no, we're not on board for that.’

So instead, they created this whole new terminology to justify it.

And it's taken us years to unpack that and realize what's really going on.”

73% of adults say they’re lifelong learners.

Most still learn the wrong way.

So what actually works?

@JeroenKraaijenbrink explains it with a simple model:

The Learning Pyramid.

It shows how we absorb knowledge.

And why some methods stick while others disappear.

We learn by:

Listening. Reading. Watching. Doing.

But not all methods are equal.

Average retention looks like this:

5% from listening
10% from reading
20% from watching videos
30% from seeing a demonstration
50% from group discussions
75% from active practice
90% from teaching others or applying immediately

The exact numbers may vary.

The lesson doesn’t.

Active learning always wins.

Personally, teaching has been the most powerful for me.

Mentoring.
Sharing ideas.
Explaining concepts.

If you can teach it, you truly understand it.

P.S. Which learning method works best for you?
