@jomayra_herrera @Forbes @reachfund You were amazing on stage! 🔥

Had a great time chatting with @Forbes about my story and passion for education, our work at @reachfund, and our perspective on the future of work forbes.com/video/63392550…

@nic_detommaso This resonates a ton!

In speaking w someone today about moving, they said, "Different places bring out different parts of you. You move to the place that brings the part of you you want to come to the surface." Each city has it's own message: 💰NYC - You should make more money 📚Boston - You should be smarter 💪SF - You should be more powerful I've spent time in various different cities - NYC, LA, London & Barcelona - so this resonated with me deeply. I found this especially true with my recent move to LA. I wanted a healthier & more fulfilling personal life and that's exactly what I got. Paul Graham wrote an essay on cities and their messages that I'll link below. What are your thoughts?
