Organic discussions between cofounders in long meetings, while building the future.
Izzy: I know it's summer now, but
summer's gonna be over in like, what,
a couple of weeks come September.
Let's, um, figure out maybe just
strategize or less thinking,
more, more doing or decision
making of how we're going to.
We just start with your school.
Guess we can start with
n bias as an example.
If you have a counselor.
Dude, this, why am I so stupid?
You have a counselor nbi,
like a admissions counselor.
We only get one shot, right?
It's not like he's gonna look
at the website once and be
like, there's a piece of shit.
And then we're come back to the week.
It's like, give us another chance.
We have one shot, so why don't we
prepare like the next two weeks or so?
Why don't we prepare like the best
package on our social medias, on our
website, prepare the best fucking
package presentation, the whole thing
for this counselor and all future
counselors where you can make a cold
approach comfortably and be like,
Hey, this is the, this is the thing.
Wanted to, you know, this, he's
offering like a, a cohort for free
as part of his nonprofit initiative.
You know, we'll craft the pitch and it's
like, can we run an ad or announcement
to school or even do something to like,
you know, better how, how it'll be done.
What do you think of that?
I think, um, yeah, so the admissions
counselor, he does have like an email.
So he, first of all, yeah, I can like
just speak, just have an appointment with
him and just speak about this with him.
And then he runs the mail.
Like he has a mail like
for all students, right?
And then a telegram channel.
He also does a, where
he uploads useful stuff.
Then what else?
Yeah.
And he speaks with other students
like personally and, um, if he could
recommend to them like, he's like
an authority, that would be good.
Are you hearing yourself.
Why this is like, so obvious.
This is like, so, like, this is
like, like, like, it's like so
in front of us and like we're
like just fucking blind as fuck.
Not seeing it.
So Sam Ovens talks about his
principle, how everything, every
macrocosm is a piece of the microcosm.
He says, if you look at a snowflake
and you like look at the DNA,
the structure of it deeper and
deeper, you'll see more and more
snowflakes, interconnected snowflakes.
Clearly, I, you can do that, you could,
you could check this thing in biology.
And same thing with the human biome.
Like everything is just like a
macrocosm and microcosm similarity as
above, so below, or like on the grand
scale, it's really just a small thing.
You look, think about countries or
made up of multiple, multiple states.
States made of multiple cities, cities
made of multiple districts, regions.
And it's just all, just like
gets smaller and smaller down to
like a fucking street or a block.
It just basically a component.
And then infinite sub components
until we can't fathom a reason
any further sub components.
Like a kaleidoscope, like an
infinite, like a infinite reduction.
So the problem is why it's so difficult
for us to grow something or to
build something is because we don't,
we only see the, we only see the, if
you're in a, a germ or amoeba, it's
very hard for you to think about people.
If you're a person, it's easier for
you to go under a microscope and start
studying amoeba and so on, so forth.
It's always easier to study what's below.
It's almost very hard
to imagine what's above.
And if all you have is, let's say
like one student, it's hard for you
to kind of un unwrap that and see the
bigger picture like we kind of said
before, but what you described to me
is the whole fucking picture, dude.
It's like I am the fucking.
Amoeba, I got a second Amoeba.
The amoeba belongs to a different
colony of a, of amoebas.
And that and that colony of
amoebas is, is the vast network.
And that's how we do it.
We started with, I
started, started with you.
I mean, I had a lot of teams before that.
I had another team that, um,
out of Florida.
I was working with him.
His dad wanted me to work with him.
His friend from medical school.
I think I've helped like a ton of
different teams along the years.
But it was just like basically a waste
of my time, basically a waste of time.
They did nothing.
They did nothing to really
like, truly help me.
This one actually did say
to go for it with COE.
I was like, I think I'm gonna
start a church or like do like
a whole movement like this.
And he is like, Izzy, you'll
be so successful do it.
So he did gimme that.
He gave me an extra push.
But um, that was, yeah, but, um, but
you're like the first I guess it took
me two years to actually come down
with a system that actually works.
Which is this.
So you're, so basically like you're
the first stronghold into this thing
and then the next step is the school
that you're affiliated with through the
counselor to get a couple more kids.
Then once we have one school in
Kazakhstan, then we advertise that on
social media on our website, and then we
get another private school in Kazakhstan.
And once we have a few of those,
then we can get maybe like a
semi-private or like a public school.
Then once we're moved from Stan
and we go to MDI from Amani,
Stan, and we go maybe to to Russia
or the US and so on, so forth.
And that's how it grows, like
very naturally, very organically.
And it kind of like makes sense.
It kind of makes sense.
Does and doesn't have to be Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Rather than like random.
Quote unquote teams online, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Random teams online.
Like you get like fucking 10 kids
from India that have like 30 minutes
of internet a day on their phone,
and afterwards electricity shuts off.
Like
they're fans, they're
tar fans per the month.
But they saw a video of C oe and they
were inspired, not shitting on them, but
I think they need, I think they need food
and water not fucking motivational advice.
Um,
I'm sorry, it's too literal, but but
yeah, like we can, we can host, go ahead.
So, you know, like, um, it's
admission season and everybody my
age is looking for one of two things.
They're looking to upgrade their SAT
and second is extracurricular, which
we could easily like assist right?
In doing, you can give an action.
I I, I give so many
recommendation letters from Dr.
Izzy Chiver, Harvard graduate, uh,
E-D-D-E-D-D and ed tech, like the
university will just stop taking me
seriously if I, the, the amount of,
the amount of recommendations or we
can make a competition like this.
You everyone, what?
You recommend everyone?
You're for everyone.
I'm for.
I could, but we can, we can like do,
we can either, do I recommend everyone
or we can do a competition where
I can give a basic recommendation
to everyone, like he's a good guy.
Take him just if they need a
recommendation or, or we can do, like, you
only give three premium recommendations
where I really like, highlight and take
time to like figure this, this person
out and just like do a really deep
conversation and even reach out to the
professors myself and like, like truly
like get involved to recommend them.
Yeah, yeah.
Something like that.
So yeah, we have different ways
we go about, we have to decide
right now, but that's the idea.
Yeah.
I come offer recommendation easy.
It doesn't cost me anything.
Um, um, yeah, recommendation.
And, you know, extracurricular,
since we're a nonprofit, I think like
working, contributing to a nonprofit
org is like a strong extra No.
Like anywhere.
Yeah.
A hundred percent.
Dude, you're you're nailing it.
You're nailing it.
That's exactly it.
That's right.
So yeah.
I will say to the admissions council,
so some along the lines of you.
Uh, so we are founding me and this
3-year-old Harvard graduate education
doctor founding a nonprofit where
we specifically target teams for now
to help them achieve, um, better.
So we're a personal development company.
We're a nonprofit organization
where teens that you in council can,
anyone can come and work and get an
internship and actual real world skills.
And, um, you're nailing it.
You're nailing it, dude.
You're nailing it.
And the question, why is there
bio teens, why that's so specific.
It's so weird.
Why is Zeria and you're saying,
well, I'm a graduate of Zer.
I studied here for so many years.
Yeah.
I want to help my people.
Right.
Because people often there's the
Harvard network and I say like, I
want to begin like the NEV network.
Some shit like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Great.
And then it's basically, yeah,
so I say, I say, you recommended
this idea for me because Harvard
Network was so useful to you.
And I said like, yeah, we
want to help another bio teams
since Yeah, that's perfect.
And we should have something
on our website, a least a blog
post just talking about this.
And we don't have to like, we don't
have to like send and write a blog post.
We just take the audio that we spoke
about introducing this idea of how
we're gonna do it, and we just kind
of, take the audio and redo that.
That's our thing.
We, we capture so much audio, we
have so much organic discussions
that, um, they, they all get lost.
They all get lost.
So instead of keep, instead of keep losing
all our discussions, we just actually have
a system to capture back and repurpose all
the audio and, um, have like a archive,
like a very clear, detailed archive audio.
Yeah.
This is good.
