PitchBook is reporting that VC headcount is treading down. 📉 I guess that's not so surprising - while $$ volume is up, the deal count isn't strong. 🤖 But I'm wondering how much of this is driven by AI reducing the need for junior people vs. the cyclical nature of the industry. Tools like Haje Kamps's Pitch Guide makes it a lot easier to quickly analyze decks. On the other hand, VCs aren't known for using tech to disrupt themselves (which is kind of ironic). I'll drop a link to the PitchBook article in the 1st comment.

“Machine learning and artificial intelligence have a lot of hype around them right now. Many companies and product teams are jumping right into product strategies that start with ML as a solution and skip over focusing on a meaningful problem to solve.” From an article by Josh Lovejoy and Jess Holbrook in 2017 on medium.com. I completely agree with this perspective. In my experience, it’s crucial to first identify the core problems and user needs before diving into technology solutions. Starting with the problem ensures that the solutions we develop are both relevant and impactful. What are your thoughts on this approach? Have you encountered similar challenges in your projects?

"Boring consistency." It might not sound glamorous, but I'm teaching my students that it's one of the most powerful keys to success in today's AI-driven economy. Small, regular actions build momentum and create opportunities. In my class, students are learning the power of regular posting, thoughtful engagement online, and embracing the long game of building their professional writing presence. In an AI-driven creator economy, consistency is how you cut through the noise. It's how you establish your voice, develop trust with an audience, and showcase your unique human perspective that AI tools can't replicate. This isn't just about class assignments. It's about developing the habits and confidence that will help them thrive in an evolving professional landscape. I look forward to seeing how both their writing and communities grow in the next few weeks!

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. If you haven’t read this book📖, I encourage you to add it to your must-reads for 2024. While the author’s focus is really on money, per the title, I found it was full of practical knowledge for everyday life as well. Here are my favorite takeaways from the book. ➡️➡️➡️ “Extremely good & extremely bad circumstances rarely stay that way for long”. ⭐This is an excellent reminder to keep in your back pocket when you feel like you are really going through it. “Growth is driven by compounding…” This is true in investing but primarily true in learning. 💡Learning drives growth, and the more you learn, the more you grow. Growth takes time and patience as it compounds gradually. Lean more into optimism. 🗣️Morgan Housel says, “Tell someone that everything will be great, and they’re likely to either shrug you off or offer a skeptical eye. Tell someone they’re in danger, and you have their undivided attention”. I compare this to our evolving awareness of AI. I envision a future where people, businesses, and industries develop a symbiotic relationship with AI. Despite encountering individuals who fear AI's mass job displacement potential, I've learned that spiraling into anxiety and fear serves no purpose. Instead, embracing growth and understanding paves the way for optimism. #reading #ai #growthmindset #learning

In Shaping Wealth’s Foundations cohort, Brian Portnoy Brian Portnoy, CFA shared 12 skills that would be valuable for advisors to improve. With AI getting better at handling the planning and technical parts of our job, focusing on these skills feels like a smart move. A few that stood out to me: • Storytelling • Emotional awareness • Asking great questions • Having real conversations • Simplifying complex ideas These, along with the other seven, are going on my “need to improve” list.

Your kid's future-proofing starts in the cereal aisle! AI is advancing faster than we imagined. You are worried about your child's future. Everyone says focus on "Critical thinking". But no one shows you how to even make your child a critical thinker. Forget fancy STEM kits. Your trip to Walmart is the ultimate critical thinking bootcamp. Here's how to turn everyday moments into mind-expanding opportunities (No.4 is my favorite): 1. Grocery Shopping Challenge: "We have $20. What's the best dinner we can make?" Your kid learns budgeting and nutrition while you save money. Win-win. 2. Car Ride Game: "Spot something new on our route and guess why it's there." They'll start noticing the world around them. And you'll get a break from "Are we there yet?" 3. Dinner Table Prompt: "If you could change one rule at home, what would it be and why?" Watch them argue their case better than a Harvard lawyer. 4. TV Time Activity: Predict what happens next, then discuss why you were right (or hilariously wrong). They'll understand storytelling. You'll understand why they're obsessed with that weird YouTube channel. 5. Bedtime Story Twist: Let them choose alternate endings. Ask, "What if the Big Bad Wolf was actually hangry?" You'll spark creativity. They might finally go to sleep. Every "Why?" from your kid isn't just curiosity—it's a chance to build a mind that'll thrive in our AI-dominated future. The parent who turns everyday moments into learning opportunities will raise the kid who turns every challenge into a chance to shine. What everyday situation have you turned into a brain-boosting lesson? Share below. Let's build an arsenal of ideas for raising kids who'll make AI work for them, not the other way around. PS. Struggling to keep up with AI and worried about your kid's future? I've got your back. More actionable tips, insights (backed by neuroscience) coming soon on raising AI-savvy, critical thinking champs. Follow Muhammad Huzaifa Madni to not miss out!
