#AhmedMohamed reminds me of a signature business recipe my mentor taught me: During a business lunch with an executive, spill sauce on your tie. Then dismiss the road bump in your lunch and continue to execute the lunch. Seasoned execs have zero understanding of innovation. We only understand, recognize, select and recruit: “young people that roll-with-the-punches”.
AhmedMohamed is smart enough to draw a punch from Dan Cummings. Principal. Then parlay that into a verbal invite/admit to MIT. My backup, EIR school.
