The sidewalk

[IrishSpring600]

I wouldn't count it as a success.

Even though I had a unique USP, it had many hidden flaws.

Flaws that could have been improved over time and with a better team.

But I graduated shortly after my first milestone so I wasn't authorised to run it anymore.

University societies are approved and owned by an overarching student institution that provides funding and support.

The society itself satisfied none of the NECTS commandments. Hopefully I wouldn't replicate something that is stemmed from red tapes in the future.

As for your last two questions...

I caught up with an old uni friend recently.

Our conversation somehow ended up on Fastlane topics and I started talking about MJ's book.

We nitpicked each other's brains for a long time. And all of a sudden he invited me to join his small startup team.

We're having our first meeting today.

This time I hope to achieve a magnitude that... actually let's see how it goes.

I'm still a naive kid from two years ago. There's more mistakes I need to make before I can find the 'how'.

I'm very naive.

1) Where are your main in-person hangout spots?

2) Where are your main online hangout spots?

3) Which brings more money? I have learned that money is very important, but all my money has come from offering value, not from trying to make it. I'm at a loss for words as to whether I should learn how to make money, or provide value because it's not guaranteed that providing value yields money.
