Wait, what?

Bloomberg: "Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Monday that his agency will use about $1 billion from President Joe Biden’s public works legislation to remedy racial inequities in U.S. highway design..."

Why not $1B in education grants to minority students?
The big dig in Boston took 16 years and cost $24B.

So we're talking about maybe, maybe moving one major highway this decade. wbur.org/news/2012/07/1…
Average annual in-state tuition is 10K/year, so 40K/student for a 4-year degree.

So in 2025, we can have:

A) 25,000 debt-free, college-educated, often first-college-degree-in-their-family professionals ready to impact their communities?

Or

B) A half-done and likely over-budget construction project?

Don't waste $1,000's of dollars on a cohort based course.

Use these 13 tactics to get the most from your investment 🧵
1/ Find a buddy

Best version: sign up with a friend or partner for brainstorming & mutual accountability

Back up plan: review profiles and make fast friends with those that share common interests

Role models: @MrJacobEspi & @rolanddaher showed me how this is done
2/ Show up early

In my first CBC, a deep convo was always underway when I dialed in.

Yesterday I dialed in 15 mins early and got 10 solo minutes with @aaditsh and @brandonthezhang - their generosity in those 10 min alone were worth the full cost.

Can a quirky hedge fund really make you a better parent?

Lessons I learned when I brought the principles of the world's largest hedge fund home 🧵
When people learn I worked at Bridgewater, without fail they ask:

Do you give & get feedback in every meeting?
And welcome debate, even from junior employees?

With real gratitude I can answer:

Yes. All true.

And it wasn't a distraction.

Building the system is the work.
Bridgewater started as a newsletter in Ray Dalio's 2-bedroom apartment.

It's now a $150B asset manager.

How'd he do it?

Systematic decision making based on rules and data.

The result?

The education system isn’t broken.

That's just your excuse.

Here’s how I know 🧵
The system is not bad, it's average.

Teachers face the impossible task of meeting all students where they are:

The math whiz.
The introvert.
The child with an IEP.
The front-row hand-raiser.

The result?

Despite tremendous effort, each child is underserved in some way.
Just read these quotes.

Sharp insights that all point to the same problem:

The one-size-fits-all system doesn’t fit my one-in-a-million child.
