Yesterday I was the keynote speaker for UW Stevens Point’s STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, and Math) day.

Spoke to 150 seventh and eighth graders about my experiences in technology. And focused on three main areas: challenges, mindset, and success.

In school, we are told failure is bad, but when doing big things, failures are simply learning lessons. Fears once allowed our ancestors to carry-on the human race, now they just hold people back from their full potential.

Understanding goals and habits are key to pursuing AND achieving their dreams.

And to discover success, they must never stop learning. Set big goals and take massive action to achieve them. Don’t let classmates, family, friends, or even teachers tell them their goals aren’t achievable. Anything is possible with the correct amount of positive energy focused on achieving their goals.

After the talk, Rubie and I taught a couple classes to the students on how to code their first website. Was a fun day at Treehaven.
