✨ I want to share a peek into my vision for 100 school ✨ Here goes…

Every morning, millions of people read Morning Brew to "get smarter."

But here's what keeps me up at night: Being informed isn't enough anymore.

The world doesn't need more...

- News consumers
- Trend watchers
- AI observers
- "I should learn that" procrastinators

The world needs more builders.

That's why at 100 school we're building the "Morning Brew for practical skills." Your daily software update to crush it in a new world of work.

But with a 👀 twist 👀...

Instead of 5 minutes of passive reading, ✅ you get 30 minutes of active building.
Instead of knowledge, ✅ you stack skills that compound over time.
Instead of water cooler talk, ✅ you create portfolio pieces.
Instead of being "in the know," ✅ you become someone “in the doing” of execution.

Most importantly: we don't just teach skills. Because skills without the right mindset are like blunt instruments.

It's about whether you have the lens to see opportunities and create VALUE.
