2018 has been a great year and I have recounted on the great things that happened in it already here 👇

#Thread is the list books I consumed during the year

1. It started with Art of War - Sun Tzu
Valuable strategy in the book for life and business, I have it in my 2019 list again

2. Zero to One - @peterthiel
Impressive look into the art of innovation
3. Blue Ocean Strategy - Renée and Chan
One of the best reads of 2018
I went on recommending it throughout the year.

A compelling view of how to carve for your organization a strategy that wins long enough. Sequel to it Blue Ocean Shift (not read yet) @BlueOceanStrtgy

People have been wanting info about my streaming setup, so here's a bit of information about it... It's nothing masterful, but I do what I can because I must. ;) (Somewhat long #thread) Obligatory stream link: twitch.tv/mattlewellyn #SupportSmallStreamers
First, my stream art. My art usually starts somehow based on a @streamlabs theme, even if only for inspiration or to make my custom CSS/JS a lot easier to wrangle. The text is usually done w/ custom browser sources. For more info on Streamlabs OBS visit streamlabs.com/slobs/d/103698…
For custom fonts, I override whatever font selection is made via custom CSS. I embed my fonts as base 64 in the CSS thanks to @FontSquirrel's webfont generator. Base 64 seems to perform the best for locally-hosted HTML files with inline CSS even. Probably because no caching.

It's back-to-school time so I want to share a little of my experience with being a Black admin in a school with 48% white students. This is specifically for parents of Black children so you know what happens in schools & are able to disrupt this issue with "discipline". #thread
I walked into a team teacher meeting (they're all white) who was to be doing curriculum planning. Instead, they switched it up and decided to call kids out of class to talk to them about their "behavior". I'll keep putting that in quotes since it was a nefarious act.
The Ts are on one side of the table and a Black student, we'll call him X, was on the other. He was slumped over, picking at his fingers. Walking in and seeing this I asked, "What's this?" They told me they were trying to talk to him about what he does in class. It smelled fishy.

#thread One of the biggest misconceptions of new managers is that they think they need to come across as having strong personalities and no weaknesses.

What they don't realize is that by doing that they alienate people. #thread 👇
* When junior people see their managers as very strong, they might be scared to share their opinion
* When senior people see their managers as strong on things that don't make sense, they might think they're an idiot and not say anything
I think the best thing we can do with our teams is create a vulnerability based trust where we can be who we really are. We're never as strong as when we're ourselves.

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
