Starting a company is not the hardest thing you can do. It's not even close. Nor should your company be your religion. If you think it should, reread David Foster Wallace's Kenyon College speech.
I'll keep doing these sketch notes because they're valuable to me, however one of the negatives is that it rewards speakers who use hyperbole and one-liners.
I also mean these to be a companion; everyone should watch the videos.
Fantastic job with these! And I would be totally okay with you paraphrasing some of the speakers to summarize their key points in a short blurb and illustration. I realize this more work for you, and perhaps some possible misinterpretations, but I think the value would be higher than any unintended consequences.
Absolutely love these. Bought the physical printed book version last year and keep it on my desk for inspiration whenever I'm working on something and feel like the world is working against me.
Will there be printed versions of this year's book?
Probably not – last year, I only did it because I was inspired by Watsi's talk and wanted to try to give back somewhow. But it was a logistical nightmare; it's really hard to get small runs of high quality book printing done for a reasonable cost.
This is fantastic. Great work. Random question: Is there an app/software you used to do these doodles? I'd love to do something similar but I'm not as artistically gifted. Thanks!
As Gregory mentioned, he used Paper for part of these. If you are interested in trying it out, I recommend this video put together by Brad Ovenell-Carter - he does a great job of giving tips even if you aren't artistic: http://www.ovenell-carter.com/uncategorized/sketchnote-prime...
What a brilliant lot of notes, insightful inspiring and nice to see some great minds feel a lot like we all do at times.
I got a lot out of that cheers.
Is the what's up thing correct?
When you have the numbers of people WhatsApp has, you can't remove features (b/c 0.1% = millions of people)
I recall WA made many efforts to support multiple platforms, etc. but not sure how far to take this comment.. (i.e. Facebook does it, Google does it, etc)
They do remove features, they just have to think long and hard about it. He even mentioned a few features they're thinking of removing (such as the broadcast feature).
