Nalini Visvanathan commented on Breaking Ground in Tanzania!

Just saw your Tedx talk. It was very impressive to see the energy and enthusiasm you brought to the vision that created Farm from a Box. Congratulations, for forging ahead in different locations and cultural contexts.

@brandi-decarli Thanks for remembering my request, Brandi. I will be sure to watch this weekend. Have been tied up with some deadlines. Still, I did note your progress in Tanzania, and was happy about it.

Is there now a ceiling on adding to an original investment?

Nalini Visvanathan commented on Jetpack

Hi Fatima, Unlike Jack, I was unaware of Amazon spreading its tentacles inside campuses. I listened to you yesterday, and I would still invest. I suspect many students would still prefer Jetpack, since those who deliver the orders are students like them in need of some income. Here's a suggestion: survey your customers on campus about what local products (baked goods, fruits, etc. they would like delivered), and forge local contracts that Amazon cannot replicate. This may be a laughable idea, but it's important to introduce a twist that makes Jetpack more compelling than Goliath. Here's what I found on CNN: money.cnn.com/2017/08/15/technology/amazon-instant-pickup/index.html
You still have the edge on the last mile delivery! They are a pickup service.

I could not find a way to access the talk. There was no arrow embedded to suggest an audio or video. Did I miss something?

So far, my grasp of your system is that Flip Word emphasizes "learning" rather than "speaking" a language. I know from experience that I can learn a language without being able to speak it, so please tell me about your approach to "speaking." Thank you.

Why Nalini Visvanathan Invested

Jetpack stirred a lot of excitement in my grandson, who just entered high school. Ethan wants to be an entrepreneur. This investment is for him, his birthday gift.

– About Jetpack · 11 months ago

In the early 1980's I took my daughter to lectures and panel presentations by women scientists and engineers. I wanted her to learn about the full spectrum of her academic and career options. This time it is for my granddaughter and grandsons.
