Nice new piece @ryancraigap thought it’s time 🇺🇸 higher-ed ‘overhauls it’s fee structured’ even with the unbundling that’s bound to happen next. Love the ‘Upside Down Degrees’, ‘Off Ramps’ (funny it needs push!). Last Mile Training is 💯, have made leaps there!!

FOOTBALL & FESTS / & how they helped me build some Life Principles -a 🧵 Some of my strongest memories – at school are from football (dozens of tournaments, travel, blood & dust!), & at college are from the fest circuit (another full life in its own right!).

Watching “The Founder” tonight (finally!), always been a fan of legendary sales ninja Ray Kroc (who built Mc Donalds 🍟), & what mad customer obsession can do! Going to use this space to share notes / learnings / personal interpretations / what I love🥤:

Demand & Supply-side Economics / will they evolve? Some thoughts: *This came up as I was reading about Pinduoduo, one of China’s largest e-comm, & their thoughtful approach around supply. So basically, a result of “instant gratification” in customers like us, leads to ....the big retailers ONLY buying from big wholsesalers, cutting down small guys. Since it needs to be a certain quantity at one go. Since it’s time bound. Which takes $$$$! But what if the behaviour at the customer’s end be made to change? To alter supply-side economics?This could lead to the big retailer order across 50 small orders. And all the small order folks can also compete among each other for better quality of whatever the good/product is. -> we get more synchronised distribution (a new way? Or back to the old ways?) + also ofc much better quality in the hands of the final customer. 👆🏼it’s what Pinduoduo does, and they call it C2M (consumer-to-manufacturer)Now going to think about how this analogy can be taken to other related spaces too, including what we do :) 🤔
