Highlights
Underrated encounter (so I hope!)
I meet @tylercowen at the @mercatus Emergent Ventures Kochi unconference. Chuffed to meet him in the flesh, and peer into the book bag. https://t.co/vFAnn6JD5b
Love how content has a seat at the table at Plum and how they leverage it to build soft power for the @getplumhq brand.
Their latest publishing product - a children's book [when I first heard of it from @Ganapathi_97 i thought it was something to do with ESOP plans:) ] is a lovely little product.
