This was one of my favourite episodes. As an #edtech founder, I am so proud of what @LuisvonAhn + the team at @duolingo have done for the world through free language learning.

"Education isn't going to keep up with technology. We need to have a lot more empathy right now. I just beg people to be more empathetic. Take down bias and look at the history of what's happened with race and our country" - Troy Carter

Today, failures felt so big. Being a founder is no joke.

Even in my dreams I like to get all my work done before we I wake up 😌
Thank you Instagram for reminding me that 3 years ago, I was in a room full of bad asses celebrating the fact that we were all under 30 🥺 @bcbusiness #30Under30
Alas, @ycombinator we were just not meant to be. The fourth time was not a charm. However, I know we’re on the right path despite our final parting of ways 😛 Right, @rukshana_h? 🚀 @get_softserve

As a #founder, I’ve never invested in traditional stocks. However, I have gone all in on what I believe to be the most valuable stock of all: me. And no, there is no way to diversify this portfolio. I embody diversity in other forms 😌

"Curiosity is the antidote for a dull, passive and mediocre life where you feel like you’re merely going through the motions. It’s hard to be negative, unkind, unhappy, bored or stagnant when you’re learning new things, meeting new people, and open to life’s possibilities."
