Traveling Village 2 just ended. 15 families traveling together in campervans for 45 days, organized in workgroups to make everything come alive. Kids playing freely all day, an awesome community tent that was the heart of the village and always someone to do cool stuff with 👌

Google is a huge part of why I became an entrepreneur. When I was 17 I wanted to be a DJ, created a scrappy website and found out you could rank. I was totally hooked and it was my way into entrepreneurship. How Google is destroying their main product for short term profit is
