Ben is right....reps who sell mediocre products learn how to navigate objections, manage gaps, and solve problems on behalf of their customers.
Sales reps at top companies are taking and filling orders. The product gets pulled out of their hands.
In the essay I just wrote about how to prepare students to be founders, I talked about the importance of working on their own projects. In this essay from 2021, I explain in detail how and why to do that.

never fucking forget that our tomato of a premier slashed tens of millions from our forest firefighting and emergency preparedness budget so now yea we’re surrounded by toxic air and whole communities are burning down
In early statehood, "Israelis were well aware of the ethnic cleansing they had perpetrated, the swift reduction of a Palestinian majority into a minority....They had watched bulldozers destroy ancient villages," and planted trees to cover up the crime. https://t.co/3Nj87RIIed
Israeli soldiers themselves are admitting they deliberately shot children on orders of their superiors. I’m sorry if you still defend this you’re a monster
For all those still standing on the sidelines, ducking, bobbing and weaving, saying you're "not sure" if Israel is committing genocide because "you're not an expert in the law of genocide", here's yet another report by the experts telling you once again, Israel is committing genocide. https://t.co/YXx9fZDmmi
#famine is the last calamity hitting the people of #Gaza
Hell in all shapes.
“Never Again” has deliberately become again.
This will haunt us.
Denial is the most obscene expression of dehumanization.
It’s time for the Government of Israel to stop promoting a different narrative + to let humanitarian organisations provide assistance without restrictions & allow international journalists to report independently from Gaza.
Every hours counts
Open the gates #CeasefireNow
The tour of Nasser Hospital lasted about an hour. Dr. Ahmed al-Farra went from bed to bed, while another member of the hospital staff held the camera. We saw children whose bodies were blighted by hunger, with bones jutting out @YardenMichaeli & @nirhasson https://t.co/gBTGdvjLea
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth.
Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks and other practices of annihilation, prove beyond a doubt that Israel’s target is the entire population of Gaza.
Entire cities razed to the ground; medical, educational, religious and cultural infrastructure systematically destroyed; 2 million Palestinians forcibly displaced with the aim of expelling them from Gaza; and, of course, mass starvation and killing - all this amounts to an explicit attempt to destroy the population of Gaza and impose living conditions so catastrophic that Palestinian society cannot continue to exist there.
That is the exact definition of genocide.
The report we are releasing today is a warning: The ideology driving the Israeli regime is not confined to Gaza.
The same regime, the same army, the same leaders and the same commanders are implementing extremely violent practices against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and within Israel. We are already witnessing the spillover of practices Israel is using in Gaza to other areas - on a different scale, but guided by the same logic. In the West Bank, this is taking the form of airstrikes, demolition of refugee camps, mass evictions, and the deliberate destruction of Palestinian economy and society.
No Palestinian who lives under the genocidal Israeli regime is safe.
There is no justification for genocide – not “self-defense”, not “security”, and not the heinous acts committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which triggered profound existential fear among Israelis.
The international community has not only failed in its duty to stop the atrocities, but the leaders of the Western world, particularly the United States and Europe, also share responsibility by providing support that enables Israel’s acts of destruction. It is the duty of the international community to stop the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza.
On social media, we are seeing footage of people buried under bombed-out buildings, displaced persons’ camps on fire, children starving, people desperate for water, and hospitals left unable to treat the injured and the sick.
As a human rights organization it is our duty and responsibility to say the truth: Genocide is happening, right here and right now.
This is our genocide, and we need to stop it.

As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality.
A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.
One of the best films I've seen in the past year — NO OTHER LAND — is NOW IN THEATERS! Created by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, this powerful and urgent doc follows the friendship of @yuval_abraham, an Israeli journalist, and @basel_adra, a Palestinian activist whose village in the West Bank has been fighting for decades against their forced expulsion by the IDF who want to use their land for military training. The film won the top prize in Berlin last year, and is now Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary Feature. Now more than ever, the voices of Palestinians and their Israeli friends fighting for peace need to be heard. Go see this film if you can!

This target bank had recently been integrated with an AI program named “The Gospel,” which combs through the massive amounts of data Israel gathers about Gaza, and creates targets. From around 50 new targets a year, we went to a pace of around 100 a day.
Quantity above all.
"We're killing civilians there who are then counted as terrorists"
IDF soldiers who spoke to @yanivkub detail the gruesome reality of the Netzarim corridor in Gaza. Their testimonies published in @haaretzcom are a must read. This has to end.
