Learnings

You can learn business.  My journey building M5 was all about accumulating knowledge to be a better entrepreneur, manager, and leader.  This blog is to help me keep some of the notes from that trip, and sharpen my thinking for the next one.

Knowledge Work is New

"In 1900, 3% of Americans practiced professions that were cognitively demanding. Today ... 35%." - James Flynn, Ted Talk
I like TED talks for the same reason I like business books.  Inhaling someone's passion and life's work is inspiring, and gets my ideas flowing.  TED talks work well while on a machine at the gym.

This talk gives is a brief history of our cognitive development.  The type of work that the (almost) majority of humans are working on all day has shifted radically in this century.  So the most fundamental ways we think have changed as well.  The opportunity to design new tools and arrangements to meet this challenge is staggering.  We're a completely different animals than we were three generations ago, and it is very disorienting.  Opportunity!
