Welcome to the Hive!!
Building exponential thinkers...
Welcome to your first newsletter! Exciting times! Thank you for signing up.
We will send you links to regular ideas, resources, articles, videos, and podcasts (and much besides) that you can use to help promote your exponential thinking!
The idea is to promote intellectual curiosity, help you pursue your interests, but also broaden those horizons - explore things you may not have otherwise seen!
If you do have any suggestions, or would like to join our Team, do email at Mo@ExponentialMinds.academy.
Please forward this email on to others whom you think might enjoy it - and hopefully they will sign up to and our hive of exponential thinkers will grow… exponentially!
Enjoy!
