Advice to Startup Founders: Be Yourself (not too much)

In the many years I've known Adeo Ressi he's never failed to be an inspiration, for sheer energy if nothing else, but also an unbounded optimism, bias towards getting things done, and a willingness to toss aside the old in favor of a vision of how things could be. So its no surprise that his most recent endeavor, the Founder Institute, a "school" (or bootcamp?) for startup founders, has grown so rapidly.

It's a no-nonsense semester long class that takes in people at all stages, united only by their desire to be entrepreneurs. A crash course intensive, it covers direct hands-on issues and skills required to run a startup, as well as the intangible stuff that really matters but is rarely taught -- like dealing with stress, or partners, and how to explain yourself and what you do (a message Adeo has a gift for delivering with brutal clarity, as this video makes clear).

So needless to say it's been a blast to participate in this semester's NYC chapter as a mentor, with chapter head Gabe Zichermann. I had the pleasure of presenting at the semester's first formal class a few weeks ago, dubbed "Vision & Values," about the big picture questions that face every founder as they get started.

Here's the video, and there's a link to the slides below. Also you can see this clip as well as the great presentations on the same night by fellow presenters Carter Cleveland (art.sy) and Gary Whitehill (NYEW) too via this Vimeo link

Sir Brock,

To answer your question on the global purposes of English, here is my answer Sir.
"We are divided culturally and separated by boundaries, but we can be one with tongues that speak the same language."
It is in promoting easy access and communication to people outside our countries that we have to learn English. In a country of more than one hundred languages like Philippines, the need to establish a national language was given emphasis by our second president, Manuel L. Quezon. With his advocacy, a committee on national language was formed to conduct an intensive study of what language should come up as our national language. After thorough studying of data, the board came up with a decision that "Tagalog" should be our national language. To avoid some negative reactions as to why Tagalog was favored over other Philippine languages, "Filipino" was used instead of Tagalog, which is now an amalgam of all the borrowed languages that are now included in modern Tagalog.
