Young social entrepreneurs need someone to call when they’re unsure what to do next. Resolution Guides provide that outside perspective virtually, about six hours a month for two years. If you have at least a year of professional experience, learn more: ps0333.handsonconnect.org/guide

I was glad to hear Sen. Ed Markey say every child deserves "a very strong floor, and an unlimited ceiling." He tied that floor to health care and education. No family should lose its footing when someone gets sick, and every child deserves a fair chance to build a life.

Young people do not need to wait for some distant point in their careers to begin leading. With the right support, they can start creating meaningful change now. That belief has always been at the heart of Resolution Project.

Resolution Project's Young Leaders Now Award Dinner is October 14 in New York, and this year's honorees are people I genuinely admire. Daquan Oliver founded WeThrive at twenty-one to bring entrepreneurship to kids who'd otherwise never get that shot.

New York’s affordability challenge is not abstract. People feel it every day in the basic cost of building a life here. I still believe this city can solve hard problems, but we have to be practical about it. A strong floor for New Yorkers, and no ceiling on what this city can build.

Thankful to Kirkus Reviews for the thoughtful review of Strong Floor, No Ceiling. This book focuses on rebuilding trust in the American Dream through a practical plan based on opportunity, affordability, and common sense. A strong floor. No ceiling.

Now that the celebrations around America’s 250th have come and gone, I think it's time we focus on what comes next. It’s good to pause and celebrate how far this country has come. There's a lot worth honoring in the American story after all.

"Anger can get you a win. Hope and a plan get you a wave." That idea is central to Strong Floor, No Ceiling. People are hungry for politics that is practical, hopeful, and grounded in a real plan for the country. Grateful to Leadership Now for the conversation.

Thrilled to have been part of #SIS26 this week in Atlanta. I was honored to share my thoughts on #strongfloornoceiling, and even more excited to host the awesome Stacey Abrams on the mainstage to discuss bringing hope and action back to politics. www.socialinnovation.com

GlacierGrid being named one of America’s Top GreenTech Companies by TIME and Statista for the second year in a row says a lot about the pace of progress.

Strong Floor, No Ceiling starts with the belief that people need a real foundation beneath them and a real opportunity ahead. That means a system that prevents people from falling too far, while keeping the promise that hard work and perseverance can take someone as far as they are able to go.

There’s no shortage of opinions. Far fewer conversations about what we actually build from here. Strong Floor, No Ceiling is an attempt to shift that toward a framework that expands opportunity and focuses on what’s possible. If you’re interested, learn more here: www.strongfloornoceiling.us

Small businesses are at the core of the American Dream. They’re where people can build something of their own and create opportunity for themselves and for others.

There are already plenty of books that talk about what's wrong. "Strong Floor, No Ceiling" is meant to be a framework for what we could do differently and how to think about it for healthcare, education, the economy, and beyond.

On days like this, I think it’s important to remember that innovation is not magic. It comes from people having the capacity to imagine something better and the ability to act on it.

I spoke with Matei Zatreanu about our country’s ability to grow and invest in people. Among other things we talked about immigration (getting it right, how important it is) and education (same!). These are key ingredients to national success! #StrongFloorNoCeiling

While I’d love everyone to read every word, I know that’s a lot to ask. The good news is you don’t need to. The core idea can stand on its own. The title is the framework. If it resonates, you have the essence. If you want the full context, you have the rest of the book.

I joined Matei Zatreanu to talk about 'Strong Floor, No Ceiling' and the thinking behind it. I'm very grateful to the System2 team for having me. You can watch the full episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=tK34H9tx7dY&feature=youtu.be

Decisions typically can’t be made with 95% certainty. If you wait for that, you spend most of your time waiting. Thanks to Josuard Gonzales for the question.

This only works if people are willing to talk about it. Not to agree on everything, but to have a shared language and a starting point. That’s how ideas move from pages to policy.

Four months as an Amazon bestseller. Grateful to everyone who’s read Strong Floor, No Ceiling, shared it, and engaged. This shows that--despite the righteous anger and despair so many feel--there is still hope for actionable, positive plans for our country.

A strong floor isn’t about equal outcomes or giving things away. It’s about making an investment in our society of affordability, healthcare, education, jobs, housing, and justice. This is a foundation that no one falls below, and on which everyone can stand on to strive. #StrongFloorNoCeiling

Today is Election Day. In my new book Strong Floor, No Ceiling, I write about how shared responsibility creates lasting prosperity. Vote. Be heard. And when you do, remember how the choices we make now ripple into the future we’re building together. #ElectionDay #StrongFloorNoCeiling

At Resolution, we don’t use the word mentor. We’re GUIDES. I like to think of it as walking side-by-side. I’ve built businesses, but our Fellows constantly show me new paths. Partnership transcends hierarchy. That’s where real learning happens. #ResolutionProject

I grew up surrounded by teachers. And it is clear to me that education lights the way. It drives mobility and democracy itself. Yet America is falling behind. I discuss the future of US education policy in my new book, Strong Floor, No Ceiling (out 11/11). www.strongfloornoceiling.us #BookLaunch

My grandfather taught me Per aspera ad astra (through hardship to the stars). Setbacks are part of the journey. What matters is how you handle them. As a leader, I hold responsibilities to my team, those who believe in me, and to myself. Know when it’s check, not checkmate. #PerAsperaAdAstra
