A degree is just a signal. Much like anything else you might include on a résumé or job application. But the value of the signal a degree sends no longer carries as much weight as it once did. That’s because technology enabled far more potent and useful signals. Here are (at

The future is bright! Excited to work with @cboyack and the Libertas team in this next chapter for @DiscoverPraxis.

What successful people understood before they were successful. A short thread.

Do you have 5 years of work experience? Or do you have 1 year of work experience 5 times? There's a big difference. @Mitchell_Earl with @JohnCiannello:

A positive of your future is not a guaranteed function of time. It requires deliberate and thoughtful action. Individually, or collectively. Stop this, and you forsake your future. @Mitchell_Earl discusses this with @JohnCiannello

The government school system has become more of a jobs program for adults than an education initiative for kids.

The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused).

Want the best strategy to develop positive habits? Do the thing. It's as simple. Go do the thing you've been wanting to do. You can figure out a system later. But start today. Start right now. @Mitchell_Earl discusses this on our latest podcast. With @JohnCiannello

If they genuinely want to go (rather than feeling pressured), sure. Or if they have a specific goal for what they want out of college and a good plan to afford it. ^All of the above is rarely true. In reality, most don't need college at all. Let alone right after high school.

Your directionless "positive" habits aren't all that positive. They might even have a net negative effect on you. Picking up positive habits is great, but never lose sight of your end goal. Don't let yourself be tyrannized by your own life. @Mitchell_Earl and @JohnCiannello:

Make sure your personal finance is personal. That is the key word. What others think of you does not matter, and making decisions based on that causes long-term harm. @Mitchell_Earl and @JohnCiannello discuss this:

The deliberately curious path provides compounded returns in the long run. It could look difficult early on, but it's the strong foundations that you lay then that counts.

Organizations don't want good students. They want good workers. Succeeding in college does not prepare you for life. Never confuse the two. @MattBeaudreau with @Mitchell_Earl on our workshop for high school graduates:

At Apogee, @MattBeaudreau is helping kids build strong entrepreneurial meta skills by reaching out to people they admire and model. At Praxis, we are helping Young Adults do the same. From our workshop with @Mitchell_Earl

This is huge! Excited to see this next chapter of @OpenEdHQ. And of course, over the moon for @isaacmorehouse to be at the helm of this movement.

You want to AI-Proof your kids for the Job Market? Teach them how to be an entrepreneur. How things are done might change, but entrepreneurial meta-skills will always be in demand. That's what @MattBeaudreau does. And what @Mitchell_Earl does:

How to change your life in 30 days:

You don't find your path, you forge it. At Apogee, @MattBeaudreau has a policy: Take action first. If you want to find your path, do something first. You path emerges over time. From our workshop with @Mitchell_Earl:

Time Management is the most important skill you need to learn to improve your productivity. To start, introspect and figure out EXACTLY how long it takes to finish every task in a high quality. @Mitchell_Earl discusses this on the latest episode of the Career Bound Podcast:

You really can skip the college debt and head straight for a successful career. 🎧 Listen in on our most recent podcast episode where we sit down with @Mitchell_Earl of @DiscoverPraxis to learn just how possible it is to attain: https://t.co/pO6pFoaVkg #studentloans

Here's a productivity hack you won't hear in most places: Ignore productivity hacks. Especially early in your career. The way to be productive is to learn to do the work. That should be the focus first. Learn to work hard first, working smart comes after. @Mitchell_Earl:
