Thanks for the video. It’s very informative. Brown has “Brown Promises” since 2019. My daughter just got in to Brown. Brown pays for the portion that I cannot afford to pay.
Damn graduated HS in 2018 , haven't gone to college, 25 now 🤔🤔🤔 , do you think going at 25 is worth it? Wanted to go but this bs pandemic messed everything up.
I went to Brown in 90s. The thing about Brown is that you have to be super driven as the freedom and no of courses that you can take is mind bogging (and lack of advising too). It's easy to get lost (or wont take full advantage of the Brown experience) when you don't have an adventurous mindset. For me, I had a wonderful time there (so many classes to choose from -- I took history, art history, engineering, computer science, psychology, etc). Absolutely amazing
Con: They partner with EcoHealth Alliance and their gain of function research in Wuhan. They are enablers of the mad science behind the pandemic… Just saying…
I'm recommended to apply to Brown's 1-year master's program in social analysis, so I'm watching all the pro & con Brown videos on YT. Interestingly, your comment about stock market really caught my attention, & now I have so many questions about that. We are strangers, but I'd really like to pick your brain on that. You exude a terrific vibe, & I hope this comment is the start of a life-changing friendship. Cheers.
Thanks Gary! I had to visit family to help them recover from some unexpected health issues but I plan on uploading by end of week now that they are doing much better. Thanks again for watching!
thank you! i was admitted to brown and uchicago, and i’m having a very hard time picking between the two. i have to commit tomorrow, and i’m so stressed.
@deenky two very different yet prestigious schools! I don't think you can't go wrong with either. Chicago is a great city to experience. Let me know if you have any questions before making your decision! Good luck!
Tip 1 reminds me of Naval Ravikant’s advice to avoid status games. Focus on wealth creation instead - building businesses and acquiring assets that earn while you sleep.
When Robinhood blocked buys, many predicted that they'd be finished. I thought Robinhood would at least be hurt financially by favoring institutional investors over retail ones so blantantly. But it looks like they've been forgiven or even embraced by retail investors. Strange.
Hey Gary! I also thought they would be more hurt. I think there are a few things at play here. 1. The larger brokerage firms blocked buys too. RH got the most heat and press attention but I'm assuming that many people eventually learned that it wasn't just RH that did this and decided to not close their accounts after all. 2. RH really is the best brokerage platform for beginners from a design and user experience perspective. Their support is trash, but everything else is night and day compared to older brokerages. I've had Charles Schwab since 2012 and while it's pretty reliable the design and user experience is crap compared to RH. Trading options on RH is also much easier than other platforms so it's definitely doing something right from a user experience POV. I also think that RH users may have opened up brokerage accounts on other platforms with the intention to switch, saw how crappy of an user interface they have and probably decided that it wasn't worth the change.
Hey @Gary Wheeler! Thanks for watching my video! I'm actually making another video about this topic that I'll link here for you tomorrow but the TLDR is yes I did leave Google primarily because: 1. I saw colleagues and peers getting the golden handcuffs tightened around their wrists, which prevented them from pursuing other ambitions / aspirations they had in their career or life in general. And I felt that I was too early in my career to be constrained like that and 2. I worked on the sales team at Google for a new division called Google Enterprise at the time (now called Google Cloud) and was operating under a model that made it easy to execute a go-to-market strategy. Google has a big brand recognition, which made it easy for prospects and customers to talk / buy from us and I realized that I needed to learn how to develop and execute go-to-market strategies without that brand recognition or the resources that a big company provides. There is a 3rd reason too but I'll leave that out to see if I can entice you to watch the video tomorrow when I'm done editing it :). Thanks again for watching and lmk if you have other questions. - Eric
Hey Gary here's the video I mentioned yesterday. Video was getting long (RU-vid likes 7-12 min videos) so I excluded the 3rd reason but it was primarily wanting to try out different things in the first 10 years of my career so that I could spend the next 10 on the things I was good at and have high conviction that I found what those things were. Anyway here's the video if you're interested in watching it. Thanks again and I hope you and yours are healthy and safe! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0DlVjY_cMA.html
