By Aytekin Tank How to make problems your solution. “You’re missing the point.” This was not the first dinner with a hopeful startup founder seeking my advice that would come to a point like this. Nor the last. I knew I would have to explain it another way. This time avoiding the phrase ‘passion is irrelevant’. So I began again, “Passion is a powerful tool, but it won’t...

By Tim Berners-Lee Today, the World Wide Web turns 29. This year marks a milestone in the web’s history: for the first time, we will cross the tipping point when more than half of the world’s population will be online. When I share this exciting news with people, I tend to get one of two concerned reactions: How do we get the...

The information, opportunities and possibilities children encounter from birth affect their options in life, long before they think about career choice, but you can help. When I left fundraising — my first real job — to go to graduate school, I specialized in career counseling. It’s how I ended up working almost primarily with kids. Who eventually broke my heart and made me question everything I’d ever known. More on that some other...

By Matt Russell When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier. — Roy E. Disney Have you ever set your alarm clock for the morning only to realize that it was completely useless? Again and again you hit snooze because well, the button was within reach. Why is it that we so often find it difficult to follow through on our expectations? We...

By Danny Forest Almost all the world leaders are great storytellers. It’s one of the most important skills you can ever pick up, and for introverts like me, one of the hardest. Introverts have a hard time telling epic stories. By nature, introverts don’t like to attract too much attention, therefore lack the practice in telling their story, or any story really. You’re...

By Christopher D. Connors The winner’s guide to taking back your life and living it on your terms “I attribute my success to this: — I never gave or took an excuse.” — Florence Nightingale Studies show that failure is among the most common reasons for making excuses. Fear of what we don’t understand is also at the top of the list. Whatever your excuse, know this — you’ll never get to...

By Danny Forest It’s 6am on a Tuesday morning. It’s been two weeks since I’ve lost my hard-earned momentum. I’ve written about momentum before. When you have gained true momentum, you are unstoppable. “Not doing” is harder than “doing”. Yet I’ve lost it since I’ve been back to Canada, jumping from one group of people to the next almost on a daily basis. I...

By Tim Denning Your 20’s are one of the best times of your life, but actually, your whole life should be that way. As I hit another birthday, which means nothing to me, I reflect on what I have learned in my 20’s with the hope that people from around the world can learn from my experience. My life can be divided up...

By Tim Denning Many of you are amazed at how much content I publish every month. I wanted to take you behind the scenes as once you understand my strategy, you won’t be that amazed and you’ll probably be able to do the same yourself (and get better results than me). Before we continue, I’m not a professional writer. I’m an amateur. This...

By Frank McKinley It’s so important, answering it will determine your destiny as a writer. Yesterday I saw that starting a publication on Medium is a lot easier than I thought. That’s the mechanical side of the equation. It’s a lot like publishing a book yourself in the Amazon store. If all you have to do is fill in the blanks, anyone can do this. Of...

By Darius Foroux If you think that you have to compete for better jobs or more market share, you’re as wrong as I was. The idea of competition is engraved in our minds. We believe that we have to compete for the same jobs with others. If someone has a job, that means you can’t have the same job. And if a company has...

By Tim Denning Writing is one of the best ways to connect with other people and become influential. The art of writing will always be timeless no matter how many people think that bite-sized content will take over — it won’t. It’s easy just to write but writing from the heart is very different. My writing career started when I was in high school, and...

By : Pedro Sorrentino Pedro Sorrentino is a Brazilian-born, Silicon-Valley-based entrepreneur and the co-founder of ONEVC, a seed-stage venture capital firm that invests in first- and second-generation immigrant founders. As an immigrant himself, Sorrentino frequently identifies with the experiences of the founders he collaborates with, but beyond the personal resonance of his company’s business, Sorrentino says the focus of his firm is simply good...

By : Zat Rana In late 2017, Salvator Mundi, one of Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings, sold for $450.3 million. For a child born out of wedlock in the 15th century, that’s quite an accomplishment. And yet, many would argue that this isn’t even close to being his greatest contribution to humanity. When the word “Renaissance” is spoken, no one comes to mind faster than da Vinci....
