Bad joke? Don't worry; we have good news!
If you applied for PAADC 7.0, you might want to read to the end.
Today's newsletter is mostly updates from the last one.
It's alright if you didn't read it or if you forgot what was there; you may take a look here.
Nexus Update
First off, where were you on Saturday, the 29th of July?
To be more specific, between 12 noon and 2 pm, what were you doing?
Were you at The Nexus?
If you weren't, PAADC held the first edition of the Nexus workshop for the 7.0 edition, and I speak for everyone in attendance when I say the magnitude of knowledge that was dished on that day will forever be etched in our memory.
Our speaker of the day, Mr. Bukola Oyebode, is a Harvard graduate with over a decade of experience and a burning interest in innovation. He worked for KPMG before and now works for Moet Hennessy.
He had so much to say, but here's a recap:
Innovation is all about solving problems in a profitable way. When science and technology are turned into a business, innovation is born, and all successful innovators do these 5 things:
Question
Observe
Network
Experiment
Associate
To become an innovator, generate multiple ideas, write them down, and implement them. Best believe that one will surely work out.
That's it.
They say opportunity comes once, but there goes your second chance.
Speaking of opportunities, another one just showed up!💥🤸🏽
Guess whattttttttt👀
