Dear @GSMAm4d can you please let us know how to contact who is running the humanitarian innovation challenge? We have been trying to reach the shared email for weeks to no avail. This has resulted in our proposal been ruled ineligible which is a disappointment.

Barriers to opportunity in Chicago are not unlike the barriers for many HS graduates and adult learners throughout Illinois and America.

Inbox Zero achieved! I’m sure it will last for 5… 4… 3… 2… 1.
I know you were wondering if this incredible feat would happen again @MeasureDoc . Apologies in advance for all the emails I sent to the team while I was clearing out! 😬

Is it weird to cheer about a crossover between two of your fave podcast hosts? I have googled this mashup before to see if @tferriss & @shaneparrish had interviewed one another - now it's happening! Can't wait to dig in.#alwaysbelearning @farnamstreet podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
.@jess_sims throws out so many nuggets of wisdom during her @onepeloton Saturday 60 Bootcamp classes. Yesterday, I stopped to write this one down - "I want this more than I am scared of it."
Although she was talking about the uphill sprints she was making us do, of course, it applies to life, work, love, and everything in between! #yougettocrew
