CEO Fellowship Session with Indra Nooyi
We launched the CEO fellowship not because we think everyone should get that title at some point but because of our unflinching belief that every person on the planet must have the tools to create their category of one.
The science on this is clear - until we have the combination of autonomy, mastery and purpose, we will continue to be unmotivated. If we are unmotivated or chasing someone else’s dreams, we cannot be free to live, experiment and be on our terms.
For the concluding session of the CEO Fellowship, we are thrilled to be hosting Indra Nooyi.
Network Capital School

Newsletters
Lessons from JK Rowling Live from The Elephant House
Harry Potter alone sold more than 500 million copies and Rowling’s net worth is more than $1 Billion. Her journey towards becoming one of the world’s most acclaimed writers was far from smooth. Poverty, early divorce, single parenting and lack of clarity about her future were some rude shocks of her twenties…but she persisted. Here are a few takeaways from her work, writing and life-at-large
Taylor Swift and the Mysteries of Web 3.0
Today things are radically different. All Swift fans get to hear directly from her. Who do you think they will believe? The artist they adore or the shrewd millionaire profiting off the creative output of a beloved singer.
Web3 is about winning back that ownership. It is about how we interact with value and the direct connection between creators and consumers, obfuscating the gatekeepers.
Ali Abdaal: Cambridge Doctor Turned YouTube Millionaire Turned EdTech Tinkerer
When a Cambridge educated doctor quits his job to create YouTube videos, it raises eyebrows. Some call it inspiring while others call it bizarre. Ali Abdaal is the son of an immigrant single mother living in UK. Early on in his life he realized the importance of passive income. He learned to code in school and worked on a wide range of projects with different degrees of success. For a while he was confused about pursuing computer science or medicine.
