<description>We’re here in Long Beach, California. I’m here with Tiago Forte who runs Building a Second Brain and Will Mannon who runs the student experience for Write of Passage, which is my course, and for a Second Brain. We’re just going to use the next couple hours to reflect on what we’ve learned. One year ago, we were in Mexico City doing a team retreat, and this was really just an experiment. A year ago we were just hiring Will, who was our first full-time employee. One of the things that Tiago and I figured out this year was that, one of the big problems with online education is that the revenue streams are really spiky.
