“Episode” 29 of our week-daily virtual coffee, which takes place in Alpha Collective’s discord server: discord.gg/alphacollective from 8-9am EST. It’s free and open to anyone from anywhere in the world.

No Agenda Friday and a fascinating conversation about how Steve Jobs was AGAINST the iPhone, the origins of Just Do it and much more.
