This was interesting, and well presented. So my beef isn't with Jan but more so with the startupschool initiative. (focus on school) How do you learn anything

How do you learn anything tangible from this? It's just a bunch of successful people talking about what they did. Without more context this is just survivorship bias, most of these aren't even serial entrepreneurs.
- tim333 10y agoDunno - I think there's a lot you could learn. They've had about 7 people on talking about the startups they did, a few were serial, some of them had failures. I'm not sure what better way you'd learn lecture wise?
- garysieling 10y agoI find that seeing about how someone else thinks about / breaks down a complex problem is helpful. Sometimes you can also see where the speaker has a blind spot - an interesting thought experiment is to consider how you'd compete with their company.
- anubisresources 10y agoIt's the reason business schools teach through case studies and is the reason Warren Buffett mainly reads biographies. Learning what other people did or did not do and why can help you in your decision making processes.
