What about you? What new technology made you see the world differently? I wanna hear your story below. 🔽

Younger generations already trusted tech more than banks. Why couldn’t money be as digital and agile as everything else?

It’s not always about funding. Sometimes, it’s about a fresh perspective. A better one.

Throwing money at problems -which I’m a fan of- often hides a greater cost. The missed chance for human connection. Being part of an “inconvenient” collective rhythm, even for a fleeting moment.

When returning the mat, I gave her the yoga block I had purchased from her five days before as a gift for being kind and lending me her mat. Bringing it back at the specific time that worked for her before catching a train was not ideal. What was the lesson for me?

I asked the shop owner if she would rent me a mat, and I would bring it back before leaving town. Ultimately, I bought a yoga block from her and borrowed the mat, which is how I secretly imagined it would play out.

I can choose the “convenient” route. I can buy one at the new place, use it, then leave it behind. I can afford to pay for it, but I enjoy avoiding instances of  “single-use” purchases when it makes sense. BUT what if there is a better way?

Efficiency vs. convenience.  Individuality vs. collectivity Which one matters more to you?

Let me tell you a story from my recent trip to Valencia! I do yoga at home to improve my lower back pain. I travel often and need a yoga mat in different cities/continents.

What’s one lesson from your startup journey that was worth it? Share it below.

If you’re a first-time entrepreneur or know someone starting their journey, remember this: The process, if intentional, has value, even when the outcome doesn’t match your dreams.
