@mattschaar @OfficialBBrooks @fintechjunkie @iankar_ @julieverhage @maiab @anafricanfuture It starts with identity. The financial system is a social construct with arbitrary rules. Even the best intentions get bogged down in identity politics. For example, France protects the right to open a bank account “droit au compte” but only if you are “legal”.

Limewire is the OG of spotify public playlists where you could find people with the best taste in your college dorm and copy their entire library.

Anyone else consistently overestimate what can be done in the 10 minutes between a meeting reminder and the actual meeting?

To get over imposter syndrome, remember that NASA lost its $125-million Mars Climate Orbiter because engineers failed to convert from imperial to metric measurements.

@maiab I’m a few years deep into skincare and a devotee of Deciem since its early days. The entire story around Brandon Truaxe - the founding, vision, biz model and of course all that unfolded in 2019 is unbelievable and totally changed how I saw and understood that industry.

Today’s been a good day. I received a very welcome apology from the German Parliamentary committee into @Wirecard which personally meant a lot. And three hours after my testimony the President of BaFIN has resigned.

@mengxi @sarthakgh Great target for securitization (“how many folks want to default on their electricity bill?”)

@zachtratar Highly recommend Grand Designs which features many builders who do this — “we’re making a house out of a giant water reservoir from the 50s!” It’s amazing!

But wait! There’s more! There is only 1 special bee in mexico that can pollinate the flower. Vanilla grown anywhere else in the world is all painstakingly hand pollinated. Now consider that Madagascar is the world’s largest vanilla exporter.

Maybe you'd like to add something for flavor?

Perhaps the tiny fragrant seeds of an expensive orchid?

Or the bitter processed fat from a Central American fruit?

Or the dried bark of some tree in India?

Maybe we shouldn't get too fancy...

@ChrisJBakke FYI this space still exists and hosts immersive theatre shows (I had a bit part in one last year). The slide and secret tunnels are still in use!

In 3rd grade, teacher displays a blank map of Africa and asks us to name countries. I say Central African Republic, and she claims it does not exist. We argue. It’s now clear I’m a map obsessed know-it-all.

“A distant, disengaged style of leadership creates an environment where underrepresented people do not have the social handshakes that their mostly male, mostly white counterparts have.” AMEN

I’m sharing my story about gender discrimination at @Pinterest on @Medium. Please read & share so that we can start a dialogue about the discrimination women face in workplaces: https://t.co/OmXZwf7pgl #ThePinterestParadox
