I really loved what I saw of Mexico City in over my short four day weekend stay. Mexico City is an exciting and energetic place full of highly motivated young people. It made me think that maybe they should pay for the wall--to keep us out, because I think they would do quite well on their own without us.
If you come down, you need to go with Eduardo on an electric bike tour. Museo Soumaya is one of the best musuems I've ever been to and they've got some of the best urban parks you'll ever visit.
Speaking of visiting other places, check out this Quartz article on what happens when diverse groups of people interact. Data showed that Trump supporters generally had very little overlap with areas of high Mexican immigration. In fact, quite the contrary. If you lived in an area with high Mexican immigration, you were more likely to vote Democratic.
Generally speaking, areas of high cultural diversity on a local level also means less spending on public goods--meaning there are probably greater instances of non-governmental shared economics when people actually mix with each other and bring different skills, talents and perspectives to the table.
Also, speaking of people mixing with each other who don't usually--raise a glass to the Freedom Caucus! This group of Republicans who fundamentally don't believe that healthcare is a right or that the government should pay for it actually saved the Affordable Care Act by voting against its replacement.
Oh, I wrote a post about how much it's bothering me that people say "Guys" all the time when refering to groups or about who they think they should hire. It would certainly be bad form to do that at the Women Investing in Women Event.

General Assembly 902 Broadway 4th FLOOR - New York City, NY
Have you ever thought of an Evil Plan? Have you ever conceived a Dastardly Plot to flood New York City by making its inhabitants so fat that it sinks into the ocean, or use a mobile app to marshal an army of penguins to take over secret nuclear silos in Antarctica to blackmail the UN, or something equally zany and Pinky-and-the-Brain-esque? If so, this is the hackathon for you! ProtoHack exists to show entrepreneurs that they can create something amazing from nothing without having to write a single line of code. We empower and enable the non-technical community with the tools, knowledge, and know-how that will help bring their idea to life and visually communicate it through prototyping. But on this April Fool’s Day, we’re doing things a bit differently! You’ll still learn all about the tools and processes that entrepreneurs need to leverage to succeed, but through an INSANELY EVIL COMPETITION! ProtoHack requires no coding. Instead, you’ll be using prototyping tools, drag and drop editors, mockups, wireframes and anything else you think of to visually demo your idea on stage. Competitors will work in teams (up to 5) or solo. Check out our FAQ, read more about how it works, or contact us.
Whether you are meeting potential customers, raising capital, or interviewing for a dream job, the ability to present ideas in a comprehensive and effective way will define your success. In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to: ** Organize your ideas. ** Design effective presentation materials that support your message ** Tell a story that drives success and appeals to emotions ** Engage and connect with your audience on a meaningful level. Develop and practice your pitching skills with human behavior scientist and top super connector Jon Levy.

Business acumen is rated by senior communicators as the #1 skill in which their teams need improvement. Prospects want someone who can help them solve their business challenges. What we've found is that salespeople often fail to create or win new opportunities because they don't know enough about business. They sometimes believe it's enough to know the product or service they are selling, rather than deeply understanding the businesses you are selling into. Join us for a conversation on how to communicate as strategic business partners rather than question asking sales people and talk about the return when you focus some energy on communicating like their buyers. Speakers: Ryan Lallier is VP Inside Sales at Dataminr, a real-time data discovery software company in NYC. Joe Bisagna is the VP of Sales at MarketBridge, a leader in sales enablement technology. Event Hosted by Meg Hewitt, Jay Theobald & Mark Birch.
This workshop will define what data science is, review some of the main tools used by data scientists today, and discuss how they can be implemented in real world work.
