I am an early riser, and always wake up between 5 and 6am.

Every time you buy tickets on Ticketmaster, you help to digitize a book.

In 2011, after spending a couple of years working at Google, I decided that I wanted to dedicate myself to helping to transform education. I was particularly inspired by my upbringing in Guatemala, a poor country where high-quality educational opportunities are limited to those who have money.

This sounds strange to many people, but I work out for exactly 16 minutes every day, and do so at maximum speed by running 2.5 miles. This keeps me healthy without taking up too much time so I can stay focused on other things. It's one of the most efficient things I do each day.

I am always able to keep a laser focus on one thing at a time without getting distracted. It helps that I try to break everything I do into small, achievable tasks.

My ultimate research goal is to transform our human existence to just eating, sleeping, drinking, playing - nevermind.

The question that motivates my research is, if we can put a man on the Moon with 100,000 [people], what can we do with 100 million?
