This isn't a chess book. It's not a robotics book. It's not even really a "leadership" book in the traditional sense.
It's about movement building. It's about courage. It's about youth action. It's about what happens when you decide to start something, even when everything tells you to wait.
We've started nonprofits. We've built training systems. We've launched TED-Ed clubs. We've made more mistakes than we can count.
But here's what we learned: every project started with the same question: "Can I actually do this?" And every time, the answer was yes, but only if we started.
Nonprofit → $2000 donated
Robotics → Training system with 100s of students
TED-Ed → Public speaking
