Startups. It really ain't for anyone.
So I recently came across an article that breaks down the risks and the challenges of becoming a startup entrepreneur. The article really bums you out and makes you question your initial decision on starting on your own venture. Here’s how the article starts off:
“No one knows the real number of successes or failures, but everyone knows that their chances are bleak. On average, 50% of small...
Too much on my mind.
I can’t believe it’s already been three months since I’ve started working on BridgingGood. I feel like I’ve done so much and not so much at the same time. Strange feeling.

“In the main, entries to this year’s Interaction Awards were good. The apps, the websites, the interfaces, and the games were slick and sleek. For the most part, they checked the design boxes we have all come to expect. Sure, some seemed to have beamed in from the early days of Netscape, but overall, buttons, pushed, sent you somewhere you thought you might go. Screens, swiped, loaded the...

The Number One Question For Social Entrepreneurs:... →
The best way to learn is literally by doing.
For the past two weeks, I’ve been designing the logo/website/mobile app for BridgingGood. Initially, I was planning to get a designer to join the team to do the design but finding a good designer with both the talent and skills proved to be extremely difficult. So I took matters into my own hands. I basically said to myself, ‘fuck it! I’ll do the design.’ Although I knew how to use illustrator and...

Dinner with Ursula Burns, Chairman & CEO of Xerox...
I just came back from a dinner with Ursula Burns. As part of the Gallatin Business Club competition the four finalist teams were invited to a dinner with her at the NYU Torch Club. Words can’t describe how blown away I was of who she was not only as a CEO of a Fortune 500 company but also as a person.

Becoming an entrepreneur... It's not for everyone.
After three months into developing and preparing to launch my own social enterprise, I really have come to realize what my boss from my previous job at a startup company told me. She told me that entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. That it’s not as glitzy and glamorous as it seems on how startups frequently get featured on TechCrunch, VentureBeat, and TheNextWeb. I thought I...

Definitely something I am looking into.
Smartphone Giving
Although the Salvation Army is still calculating year-end donations from some 7,000 community centers in the U.S., it’s on track to match last year’s haul of $142-million from its nationwide Red Kettle campaign. Online giving during the holidays rose 22 percent, to $17-million, says Maj. George Hood, national community-relations and...

What I've learned about design so far...
I’m almost two weeks into designing my social venture website and mobile app and I’ve learned so much. I was also lucky enough to have design mentors and advisors walking me through the philosophy and process of design. I’m so thankful for their help and realized once again that nothing can be done by yourself. Collaboration is key! So here is what I’ve learned so far.

Yes, I did it. I referenced the AMAZING riff popularized by Queen only to later be stolen by the kingpin of A1A.
I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, both work related and self imposed, and experienced many symptons. The first — and let’s just put that out there, because when there’s an…
