Trying to explain the role of a freight broker to anyone outside the trucking industry is…. Challenging.

2000: Homeschooling was "weird."
2025: 3.4 million students. Outperforming public schools academically.
2050: 30 million students. More than half the country.
The weird ones were right.

A historic season for @UCAMBB ends in overtime heartbreak in the @ASUNSports final.
Cam Hunter scored 49, including 28 of the Bears' final 31 points in regulation. Still, UCA's dream of an NCAA Tournament bid comes just short.

Homeschooled kids are going to run America in 10-15 years and really that means they’ll run the world. 80% of the homeschool kids I’ve come across are light years head of their peers in public and private school. Way more curious, thoughtful and well read. Incredible shift.

Something fascinating is happening in education right now. I recently went down a rabbit hole researching homeschooling, and the data is fascinating. Research from the National Home Education Research Institute shows homeschool students typically score 15–25 percentile points higher on standardized tests, and about 78% of peer-reviewed studies show homeschool students outperforming traditional school students academically. But what really surprised me was seeing it firsthand. I recently ran a financial literacy course through Classical Learner, and I was blown away by the students. One 14 year old was running a business with nine employees. And I began teaching a 9 year old the Buy Borrow Die strategy. Can you imagine learning a strategy used by billionaire families to build wealth… at age nine? What I saw with these homeschool students is that they weren’t memorizing facts for a test. They were thinking, building, and solving real problems. This ties directly into neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself during childhood based on experience and learning environments. Research from Harvard University, Stanford University, and MIT shows that learning environments focused on problem solving and curiosity produce stronger long-term outcomes than education built primarily around memorization. Which leads to a simple observation. Students raised in environments that encourage independent thinking, entrepreneurship, and curiosity develop skills that compound over time. And that creates a massive competitive advantage for life. The great news for America is that roughly 7.8% of American children are now being homeschooled, and that number continues to rise as families look for education that prioritizes curiosity, entrepreneurship, and independent thinking.

Smartphones + computers in class are having a negative effect on our kids’ test scores…
Jonathan Haidt@JonHaidt
More evidence that the global decline in test scores that began after 2012 is linked to the proliferation of smartphones and computers in class: The slide was bigger in countries where students began spending more time on devices (for leisure) generationtechblog.com/p/phones-at-sc…

There’s a huge opportunity to build Trade School 2.0.
Here’s my thinking:
Both education and employment are in the middle of a tectonic shift.
AI and other new technologies are reshaping those landscapes rapidly.
The traditional college system is fracturing. How do you convince someone to spend $200k+ on a degree when entry-level knowledge economy jobs feel increasingly uncertain?
Meanwhile, the unsexy is becoming sexy.
Plumbers. Electricians. HVAC technicians. Home services. Energy. Manufacturing. People who work with their hands and need to understand people.
Trade School 2.0 embraces technology as leverage in both training and business building in service-oriented sectors.
It could also serve the massive reskilling wave that's coming. Training people for "trades" we can't even envision today
What am I missing? Who’s building this?

someone should do a VC firm that's "founder-demanding" vs founder-friendly, and it's akin to the navy seals. hardcore people only.
John Palmer@johnpalmer
I think a lot of founders who could otherwise be great are failing due to a lack of oversight / discipline. There are so many startups out there funded by top VCs that are just kind of…messing around. No focus, wasting money, shipping slowly. I think it would be great for everyone involved to bring back a more hardcore investor relationship that is constantly pushing the founder in the right direction.

Hard to overstate this, @freightalley has dragged the trucking & logistics industry out of the dark and into the national conversation.
What @FreightWaves has done is shine a big, bright light on a critical part of the economy that most people never understood. That attention is long overdue and it’s already driving change. Well done sir 🫡

I’ve covered freight since 2017 and I have never seen this much attention on the trucking industry from the media, Congress, or public.
All of this attention is going to bring desperately needed change.

One of the state’s top RBs in Chattanooga Prep’s Marquis “Deuce” Gardner makes history as he signs to Navy.
Gardner is the first Division I signee in school history. He dominated with 2,200 all-purpose yards and 26 TDs in 10 games.
3.8 GPA too!

We have 1 gig internet at @BrickyardVC.
For the most part, speed has been fine but we've been experiencing intermittent spouts of dropped Zooms.
About a year ago, my partner got a Starlink terminal to play around with and installed it on our building.
Last weekend, we found out the Starlink ethernet cord had been plugged into our main router, which it defaulted to using.
A single @Starlink terminal has been powering the internet for 20+ companies for over a year. 🤯🤯🤦♂️
