adam braun

heard him livestream yesterday at skillshare's penny conference.
amazing. love what's he's doing. how he's doing it.
do hope we can get that archive..

some notes i took:
about adam - on pencils of promise
here he is at next gen - what is next gen - innovation w/in the realm of personal revolution
(somewhat similar to the livestream)


some quotes from talk at skillshare's event:
the most stupidly solvable issue of our time (quoting someone working on malaria, on ed)
big dreams start with ridiculously small unreasonable acts
i'm not special - just unreasonable
my experience - almost dying on a cruise ship - made me fearless
traveling.. asking if you could have anything.. kid in india - a pencil
not the value of ed, but that you can be a part of the solution
67 million live w/o access to basic ed
1. find your passion
2. live life only once
3. metaphysical presence - emanate the truths w/in soul
4. breathe your fire
5. you're ideas don't just matter, they have matter
adam@ipromise.org
1. non-profit to for-purpose
2. 100% giving
3. digital transparency - focus on social
4. invest on local ownership - people educate each other

hopelessly idealistic
follow your gut - don't get caught up in compromise
look for that that makes you feel most alive.. if we all do that together... whoa.

if your dreams don't scare you - they're not big enough
