Recently I had the great fortune to be offered a scholarship for the Global Entrepreneur Accelerator Program at the Deusto Business School in Bilbao, Spain.

So next week I’m going to be in Bilbao knee deep in global entrepreneurship acceleration! Yay! :)

I’m incredibly humbled to receive such an honor and super excited to going back to university and meeting a lot of new awesome people!

My old school I dropped out of way back in the last century sure didn’t look like this…

Thank you so much for this awesome opportunity, Chris (@cshipley)!

I recently had the pleasure to hold a WTF lecture at the Knowmads business school in Amsterdam.

The subject of my talk was social capital, the difference between bonding capital and bridging capital, why I believe we need more of the latter and how I share the belief that we live in a network economy; I believe it’s no longer about what you know or how you know – It’s about how many types of people you know.

It’s a subject near and dear to me and one of the reasons I’m co-founding Gauss – The People Magnet.

Knowmads is a business school that educate young creative entrepreneurial spirits. Check out this video to learn more:

Thanks for having me over, guys! It was a hoot! I hope we can do it again some time. :)
