General Updates 🗣️

Thank you to everyone who pulled up yesterday.

I am always amazed by how wide our reach is!

The fact that some of you didn’t even know about Beyond Education or who I was but were still at the event😅

People were telling me they heard about us:

“Through a friend”
“Randomly on LinkedIn”
“A WhatsApp group chat”

What the actual hell 🤯

Shoutout to my amazing Team for accommodating everyone!

• My OG supporter Faisal

• My mini CEO Antoine

• My righthand Steph

I wouldn't have been able to navigate the evening and some very hard periods in Beyond Education without these guys, so please show them some love on LinkedIn.

I enjoyed my conversation with every single person.

However, my conversation with Amina made me think.

Amina: “How are you going to make this impact last?”
Me:💭💬

So since I transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship

My focus has been:
“How do we reach more people” aka Marketing.

What my focus SHOULD be (as well):
“How much people are positively affected” aka Impact.

So that’s the goal moving forward.

Impact that’s sustainable
Impact that’s authentic
Impact at scale

We spread the word via Marketing
We nurture the reach via Community
We create something that’s Everlasting

Stay tuned for the launch of our Community 🔌⚡️🌎

This shit is bigger than me foreal 🌎

Appreciate y’all ❤️
