Here’s what you need to know

TECH

How to work from anywhere in the world. In June, I showed you how to make wanderlust look good on your resume.

CAREER

This is not an ordinary online course. Seth Godin’s altMBA is now accepting applicants. What is it? An intensive, five-week immersion program designed to accelerate professionals as they become change agents for the future. Here’s the course in a nutshell.

Jobs are a scam. New York State is expected to order an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour for fast-food workers over the next few years (NYTimes). Good or bad news? Economists have been arguing about this awhile now. The truth is if you want to become rich this discussion should not concern you. Here’s why and what you should do instead.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Top of meme is top of mind. Sandra Bland’s story has been all over the news lately. Bland was a black female who was pulled over, put in jail, and then found dead in her jail cell, three days later.

#NOWYOUKNOW

Dr. Seuss has a new book coming out that was found in a box. Yep. What you probably don’t know about the Dr. is that he disliked kids…

He once said in an interview, “You have ‘em, I’ll amuse ‘em.” His widow Audrey even went so far as to say Seuss was afraid of children. She said he was always thinking, “What might they do next? What might they ask next?” She added, “He couldn’t just sit down on the floor and play with them.”
