“Constantly challenging the imagination and feeling like what you’re about to embark on is impossible.”

That’s what drives mezzo-soprano @emanikolovska, one of this year’s #CBC30under30 classical musicians | @the_rcm @guildhallschool @StaatsoperBLN

Visa is acquiring startup Plaid for a whopping $5.3 billion.

Wondering what Plaid does? I profiled the fintech unicorn in the April 2018 issue of @Forbes:

forbes.com/plaid-fintech/…
@Forbes My colleague @JeffKauflin will have more on Plaid tonight.

"Plaid’s 2019 revenue was between $100 and $200 million, according to a person familiar with the matter. Assuming it was $150 million, Visa would be paying a sky-high price of 35 times sales"

@Forbes @JeffKauflin An interesting twist to the Plaid acquisition by Visa uncovered by @JeffKauflin and @iamsternlicht: two of the key bankers on the deal from Goldman Sachs were, like the Plaid founders, @ForbesUnder30 alumni.

Will more #30Under30 M+A follow this year?

I'm not even trying to be disparaging, because there are some pretty decent names on that list,
but every time a #30Under30-type thing happens, I wonder if people are even thinking about all the people being subtly discouraged from actually being their best selves.
I say this as a nothing-under-30 who will never make such a list, & tries hard not to want to.

I wish the people who compiled such lists found less inadvertently high-stakes ways to phrase the successes of others.
Imagine the subtle message you send other creatives in that process sometimes:

"30 is the deadline. Here are these people's best times: 25, 24, 20, 18.

You better start running."
