Learning how to impact billions

@ the Creative Destruction Lab

I’m super ambitious. Sometimes I feel like I’m too ambitious. I’ve always wanted to change the world; never knew how.

My dream is to spend my time with other super ambitious people, working on solving a problem. (And then do this for a bunch of problems… all the world’s biggest problems 😉).

By that I mean I want to start companies (yes, plural: I told you I’m ambitious). But I feel like this is cliché and oversimplified goal.

“I want to start a company” is a sentence that makes it seem so doable.

Any person can say they want to do something. That doesn’t matter. Doing it matters.

And personally, I prefer to “walk” rather than “talk” about my “dreams”.

By saying I want to start companies, I’m not actually starting them. Heck, I can’t start a company right now.

I’m missing tons of skills, knowledge, mindsets, and experiences.

I need a better understanding of how to actually do the thing of “changing the world”.

And… that’s where CDL (Creative destruction lab) comes in. This month was my 3rd time at the lab. I can’t even begin to express my gratitude towards this program: I’ve learned so many important things.

I also got a selfie with Barney Pell…
