In a mission-minded startup like @TrySubject , simply "clocking in" doesn’t cut it. For our company to succeed, every team member has to go above and beyond to support our colleagues and contribute to our broader goals. We understand that 80% of our jobs - the core functions…
AI both elevates humanity and brings it great harm. And that harm is not new. We lost the first battle years ago. I’m not talking about the onset of ChatGPT; I’m talking about the algorithms that power our social media feeds. For over a decade, we’ve given the algorithm the…
In education, powerful AI can create some pretty impressive solutions. When used responsibly, for instance, AI can help produce amazing resources for underserved communities. That's exactly what we're doing here at Subject! For instance, the Subject team is currently working…
Kids used to enjoy a play-based childhood; now they suffer from a phone-based one. That shift is exactly what’s led to what author Jonathan Haidt calls “The Anxious Generation.” That’s also the title of his new book, wherein he delves into the impact of technology on kids’…
My wife, Erin, threaded quite the needle to make my 50th birthday exactly what I wanted it to be. As many of you know from my previous posts, I love running. For my birthday, I just wanted to be outside with my family, running and enjoying the sun (if there were any to be found…
As a growing company, avoiding stress simply isn’t a reasonable approach to business. There will always be fires to put out and crises to manage. The better strategy is to work on your team’s ability to handle that stress without fracturing. I talked about this in a recent…
Teaching is a thankless job. Across the country, teachers are routinely underpaid and underappreciated. But they keep doing the work because they’re driven by a sense of purpose. It’s up to those of us working in teacher-adjacent positions - be it EdTech, administration, or…
I landed in the EdTech field by accident. In college, I studied psychology and had every intention of becoming a clinical psychologist after graduation. But I was also great with computers, and in the mid-'90s, that skill set was in high demand. Fresh out of college, I got a…
Problems rarely ever have one root. They stem from a variety of sources, all of which intertwine to create a jumble of symptoms. For instance, I have a family member who has struggled with health problems for the past several years. Every specialized provider we’ve seen only…
In my earliest memories, I’m playing “translator” for my parents. They speak the same language - but they couldn’t communicate more differently. My dad is a left-brained person; he worked as an engineer for most of his career. My mom, on the other hand, is an artist. She’s…
Subject stopped me from taking the sabbatical I’d been looking forward to for years. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! Before finding this team, I was ready for a break. And I was tremendously fortunate enough to be in the position personally and financially to even…
I hated running for 48 years. Until one day, I decided to become a runner. I never got the point of it - let alone the joy others said they derived from it. But now, I love it. I enjoy seeing the results and researching what running does for the body. And I’ve become…
Last Thursday, we held our 3rd Annual Symposium at our LA office. It was an exciting event on multiple fronts 👇🏽 🎯 First and foremost, it was a chance for me and my team to connect with innovative district and school leaders, hear about their pain points, and get their…
My approach to hiring used to be like Google in the 2010s: Find the most impressive people; try to impress them with our perks 🤦🏽♂️ In the early days, I pitched Subject as a sexy startup with great pay and benefits. And I was quickly sold on job candidates with impressive…

LA is the 3rd largest ecosystem, with the pluses of being 1-hour flight to the best in the world. LA also has by far the best media, entertainment, and weather in the world. Best city to build a gaming, content, or space startup.
Seems like LA is consistently the 3rd largest startup hub in the U.S. for several years now. Bay Area/NYC always top spots. Which city is 4th varies quarter by quarter or from one data provider to the next
