I respected you before this podcast but infinitely respect you more today and thank you for putting childrens mental health first before anything, friends or money.
-
The recent partnership with Alex, by now looks like a great fit... but I still miss Molly, and Rachel
-
Let's Go! Love the TWiST500 concept
-
Lots of schools have mandatory phone lockers. And quite a few restaurants !

Also feedback on thumbnail. I almost not clicked on it since the thumbnail does not have Jason on it 😮
-
calicanis jealous that perplexity didnt let him invest lol
-
I left this channel cause of blasphemies. I'm staying cause Jason's God given talent to spot early dangers with tech/startups. It happened many times (Theranos, Nikola, others). Glory be to God. p.s. are those Major aspirations still on? I have not heard any bells yet.
