While in Philippines, I had the pleasure of joining a meeting on ‘Convergence for Climate Action’ at the Philippine House of Representatives led by the Deputy Speaker Hon. Raymond Mendoza @TUCP_ph and attended by the Chair of Committee on Climate Change Hon. @AnielaTolentino, Chair of SDGs Committee Hon. Jose Manuel Alba, Congresswoman Hon. Mila Magsaysay and other Congressional members.

The meeting coordinated by Cecilia Alvarez -a distinguished theater artist and Director of the Philippine Center of International Theater Institute/Earthsavers UNESCO DREAM Centre - also included representatives of key government departments and agencies, as well as CSO members.

Other visiting dignitaries in attendance were Curt Weldon (former USA Congressman), @ivonnebaki (former Minister of Foreign Trade of Ecuador), Viktor Sebek, Chairman of South South Cooperation Council (SSCC) , Hedva Ser - UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador and Special Envoy for Cultural Diplomacy, and Vijay Karai - Co-founder & CEO of OptiCloud, an AI-driven cloud optimization platform that reduces digital waste.

The meeting explored broad areas of climate action leveraging modern technology, and particularly discussed forging south-south collaboration in the face of worsening climate disasters. The team later made a courtesy call to Hon. Faustino "Bojie" De Guzman @HouseofRepsPH (the speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines).

Sleep for 8 hours.
Work for 8 hours.

That’s only 12 hours out of 24.

You still have another 16 hours to execute more on your startup's marketing, product, distribution, and sales strategy.

Time is not the issue.

Heard from VC LPs this week.

2 of the largest pools of capital in the 🌍 were asked the Q, “what makes for your best GP relationships”

- fluid communication
- trust
- mutual value add
- shared insights / access

A reminder that returns (not mentioned) are table stakes

[Amanda Goetz @AmandaMGoetz]

If you hire someone because they are good at their job

then tell them exactly what to do, when to do it and how to do it

And then wonder why your company isn’t innovating or growing

It’s because of you.
You are the limiting factor.

Hire great people
Tell them what success looks like
Give them the resources
And let them go!

Micromanaging is the death of creativity and motivation.

Heard from a VC LP this week:

“If you just had liquidity on Byte and Stripe, it would release an incredible amount of cash back into the system - I think most people don’t realize how many LPs’ overallocation issues could be solved by one or two companies”

Everything’s just an endurance and level-up test. Focus + constantly learning — that’s all it really is.

It’s not for everyone, but everyone is capable. 🤷🏼‍♂️🌟

Why is Africa the way it is?
What are its main regions?
Its most defining features?
What's key about each country?

Most of it is rooted in 2 factors.

Here's how to understand Africa and each one of its countries:

If you’ve ever been dumbfounded by an interaction with someone, just remember this helpful diagram. Of course, interesting for far more challenging reasons.
