I just reread THE BELL JAR by Sylvia Plath. It was even more powerful the second time. What a brilliant and tragic story. The fact that it’s based on her actual experience makes it all the more poignant. She captures her emotions and crystalizes them for all to see. Few authors can be this honest and raw in the face of a cruel world.

I just finished reading the book Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller by Ron Chernow.
John D. Rockefeller was a mystery, even to his closest friends and family. He was a living contradiction: a ruthless oil baron, who amassed an incredible fortune by driving competitors to the point of bankruptcy by any means possible; and a deeply religious man who shunned displays of wealth, went to Church every Sunday, loved his family, and gave away most of his fortune to charity.

Our team was honored to be part of such an exceptional program. Additionally, it was a humbling experience to be surrounded by some of the world’s top startups, and it was this diversity that helped make the program so special.
The two-week intensive program challenged us on multiple fronts. So much so, that we dismantled every aspect of the business. This allowed us to re-build a solid foundation and an even stronger company. My partner and I now have the tools and know how to execute on our business plan. I would highly recommend the program to any entrepreneur.

You can learn how to build successful business model, how to tell your story, and how to communicate with your customers.
