This can be as much a learning opportunity for me as you dear reader. It gives me a chance to break down topics into concepts easier to understand and examine for those of us who aren’t far right on the IQ bell curve (I know where I am located…hint it...

First of all, let’s get the important stuff out of the way… GMMy fav piece of ‘merch’ all week 😂 thank you Slope & the dude walking around with these in his hair. I was lucky enough to attend Sol Breakpoint in Lisbon this year. I was there on a personal and professional basis both as an angel investor and to represent New Finance :)I wanted to write a bit about my experience, to share my views with others and also, for my own sake, document the event.

Is this the age of the generalist? I wonder if we have become collectively smarter but individually ‘dumber’?
Dumber here actually means we don’t need to specialize as much, we can become generalists. You don’t need deep knowledge of one subject.
