Russell Dinkins was a track star at Princeton University. When the Brown University Track program was at risk of being defunded last month, Russell rose to their defense. His medium article went viral (Malcolm Gladwell and others getting behind it) and though he modestly asserts that his writing was only the beginning of the efforts that turned the tide, Brown University quickly and publicly reversed their decision – reinstating the Brown Track program (the team with the 2nd most athletes of color on campus).

Finding happiness in your 20s (or at all) is hard. Here are a few tips.

If you’re in the ECommerce business, you probably ask yourself the same question thousands of other entrepreneurs are asking themselves every day: How can I sell more? 

I started an e-comm business – logo, brand, launched a site, sold product, and shut down in 8 hours. Here’s what I learned.

On July 30th, 2020 I gave a speech to 50 students at Princeton Unversity entitled “Am I or the Others Crazy?”. The talk touches on 4 seminal lessons I’ve learned through entrepreneurship. Most of all, whether you are a Brand or an Individual (human) – define who you are, refine who you are, and then find those who authentically love who you are.

Jeremy Silver is my Freshman (and Sophomore and Junior) year roommate from Princeton. We couldn’t be more different but we couldn’t be more close. Jeremy is the consummate introvert – he majored in math, went to ONE party in college (that I dragged him to), and practices Kenji (Japanese characters) for fun for hours on end. He can also do the Rubix Cube….blind folded.

I’ve known Amatoga since we were student leaders together at 16 years old. She was then, as she is now, an intellectual force, a confident change agent and a wonderful conversationalist. In this episode we discuss the importance of financial freedom while also pursuing your passions. Also, we get into being raised with pressure (of varying flavors) and learning to overcome that pressure to be who you were destined to be.

In this episode, Russell and I cover race, Princeton Unversity, Elitism, learning from others who are different from you, and Depression (mental health). Next episode we will discuss Brown University Track, Black Lives Matter and how to address and combat systemic racism.

In the past month, I have spoken to over 50 of the top photographers on our platform, The Hub. Many topics were discussed but none more than The Cost of Content in 2020 and the Value of the Photographer. Many creators from our community feel that brands have lost the script and have no idea how to price a shoot. More, they lack the understanding of why a prototypical food shoot must cost more than $750 (not $250 as our competitor Soona would have you believe).
