Chao, this was great. I don’t work in tech so I’m prob naive re: Crossing the Chasm. I was in a networking group with Geoffrey Moore’s brother Peter, who claimed he helped write that book. We had folks in our group who knew about the book but many of us didn’t. Cool to see it referenced here as an assignment for your students.
So cool you actually met with a co-author of Crossing the Chasm! I still recall fondly how my mind was blown reading it the first time - definitely a pivotal for silicon valley and tech companies
Chao, anyone who reads this and delves into some of the details and links will learn a thing or two (and likely a lot more than that) about ecommerce, startups and the entrepreneurial world. I'm really impressed with your keen business knowledge and am amazed that you made it onto the front page of the Wall Street Journal!
I enjoyed how you tied all of these strands together. Although you cover a lot, I can see how it all fits together. The Ganges story is so good, I enjoyed learning about what writers inspired you, and how you are embracing teaching and writing.
I loved this reflection both the look back at Ganges (that story and clever naming makes me laugh) and seeing how much your students are inspiring you.
Despite your claim of disjointed-ness this one turned out well Chao. And I was inspired and impressed by your practice of embracing the discomfort, fully willing to own where you currently are as a necessary step to the next place you want to go.
I like your one-line Singaporean summary (I hope Google translated it properly!): “Focus on the kucing karap, be the karung guni man 🤪”. One for your next T-shirt!
…love the addendum on this…real writing and thoughts is the future…
Thanks. This discomfort made me realize it was also because I want to make my workshops better, but I'm also not quite sure how yet (too)
