✏️ My blog post
Entrepreneurship and street photography are two of my main passions. Lately, I have come to the conclusion that both disciplines have a lot in common; much more than anyone could think of. However, I don’t know if I reached that conclusion due to a bias I developed because I love street photography and spend my days training young entrepreneurs or if the connection is actually real. I will let you judge by yourself.
After this similarities’ analysis, I would like to share some thoughts with you about whether those similarities can be exploited in order to develop new entrepreneurship training techniques.

I Can’t Wait for You to See What We Do Next – Shyp Post-Mortem (by Kevin Gibbon)
I love Post-Mortems. You know, those blog posts about startups’ death. I don’t love them because I take pleasure seeing entrepreneurs fail. I love them because they use to be honest, realistic, humble and full of brilliant tips. Thanks Kevin for this one, congratulations for what you and your team built and good luck! I can’t wait to see what you do next.
