Explore scientific and technical research
Let’s continue on with our speed reading mini-series! In the first video in this series, we covered the science of how the reading process works – both how your eyes move and fixate on text, and how your brain constantly pauses to process the incoming information. This week, I want to look at three commonly touted […]
It can be hard to know if you’re on the right path. You go to class, study, join clubs, and network, but how do you really know if you’re taking the right steps to achieve your goals? One of the best ways is to find a mentor, and in this episode, recent Tufts University graduates John […]
In this episode, we delve into my dark past and do battle with my inner demons. Queue up the Evanescence. …nah. Today we be diving into my past, though. Specifically, we’ll look at eight different things I regret not doing – or not doing better – in college. While I think my college experience was great overall, there […]
I’m currently running on less than six hours of sleep. This is because I am somewhat of a masochist, at least when it comes to booking flights. I tend to book well in advance, and when I’m sitting comfortably at my computer booking on Kayak, the thought in my head is always the same: “Hey, […]
Want to increase your chances of landing an amazing job right out of college – and maybe even negotiate a higher salary? I met Jim Hopkinson when I went to Portland for the World Domination Summit last summer, and as we chatted at a meetup I found out that he’s an expert in the field […]
Does going to a community college eliminate your opportunities for achieving your goals? Or, to put it more bluntly, is your life over if you can’t attend your dream school? Well, in the words of Batman, Teddy Roosevelt, and my dad: “No.” To elaborate on that, I brought my friend Isa Adney onto the show this […]
Being an introvert can suck sometimes. When I started college, I was sufficiently introverted enough to abhor the thought of introducing myself to new people. I had to be in a pretty social mood to do it. Today, I’ve become practiced enough at the art of introducing myself that it’s fairly easy… but now, carrying […]
Active reading is simply a means of reading a book with the deliberate intent to learn and apply something from it. In my last video on reading textbooks, I compared your textbooks to an art museum. These places are filled to the brim with sculptures, paintings, medieval weaponry, and silent guards who you’re just are judging you […]
How does the path of a design student differ from that of students in other majors? How do design students deal with the very subjective nature of their work? In this episode, I’ve brought my girlfriend Anna Ellenberger on to talk about her experiences as a graphic design student. You’ll learn about the process of […]
For the past two months, I’ve been using a simple trick with Buffer that forces me to wake up early every morning. This is a habit I’ve always found extremely hard to get into, so figuring out an external system that actually works is awesome. The fact that it hinges on Buffer is a bit […]
