At just 22, Iddris Sandu's life story was already legendary. This Architectural Technologist learned to program at the age of 11 and has worked with everyone from Kanye West to Nipsey Hussle to Space X. In this episode from 2020 we talk coding, holograms, what ancient flutes have to do with computers, how programming works and why it's important. The designer and entrepreneur also shares his favorite programming languages, philosophies on future technology and why we should all strive to be dynamic rather than single-minded. He's a true inspiration and Alie shamelessly begged him for life advice. Follow Iddris on Instagram and TwitterVisit Spatial Labs, the tech company founded by IddrisFull-length (*not* G-rated) Architectural Technology episode + tons of science linksMore kid-friendly Smologies episodes!Become a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow @Ologies on Twitter and InstagramFollow @AlieWard on Twitter and InstagramSound editing by Steven Ray Morris, Jarrett Sleeper of MindJam Media and Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio ProductionsMade possible by work from Noel Dilworth, Susan Hale, Kelly R.

Today's guest is Michael Gibson, co-founder of 1517 – a venture fund he started in June 2015 with Danielle Strachman which backs, and I quote, “dropouts, renegade students, and deep tech scientists, at the earliest stages.”Prior to starting 1517, Michael worked with Peter Thiel, and alongside, Danielle Strachman, they ran The Thiel Fellowship for five years. For those who don't know, The Thiel Fellowship was set up to fund students who were 22 or under, giving them a total of $100k over two years so that they could dropout of the traditional education system and pursue important work. The Fellowship guided them through this process which would often involve scientific research, creating a startup, or working on a social movement. Past founders backed by the Fellowship include Vitalik Buterin who was still a teenager when the fellowship allowed him to drop out and work on Ethereum full time, as well as Laura Deming, the founder of The Longevity Fund and Iddris Sandu, co-founder of Spatial Labs.Michael is also the author of Paper Belt on Fire: How Renegade Investors Sparked a Revolt Against the University which I absolutely loved.It's a book about startups, creating a fund with Peter Thiel, founders, reimagining education to empower the young to create great companies without the limitation of credentials, and it also tells the story of identity, specifically, Michael's own challenging path to finding out who he is after his father - a suspected CIA agent was found murdered when Michael was still a toddler.Honestly, I can't tell you how good the book is but trust me, it's well worth your time as is this episode so please enjoy my conversation with Michael Gibson!---------------Michael on Twitter / 1517 Fund / Buy the book hereDanielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and  Instagram @daniellenewnham   / Newsletter

Soul-Full Reflections on Community with Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb This past Ramadan, At Your Service had the honor of hosting a series of Virtual Iftars (dinners to break our fast). To really hone in on impact for these events, we tapped into some incredible leaders to guide us through themed conversations around intention and community. This truly was one of my favorite events I've ever been to, let alone hosted. When you're in the Month of Ramadan, feeling all your feelings, and you receive blessings in the form of gems, with your community all together Live, there's really nothing like it. Last week we dropped a conversation with Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and Iddris Sandu. THIS WEEK, we have the honor of revisiting a conversation between the esteemed Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb. Professor Ilyasah Shabazz promotes higher education for at-risk youth, interfaith dialogue to build bridges between cultures for young leaders of the world, and she participates in international humanitarian delegations. She served as a member of the U.S. Delegation that accompanied President Bill Clinton to South Africa to commemorate the election of President Nelson Mandela and the Education & Economic Development initiatives. While she is frequently asked to speak about the Legacy of Malcolm X, she shares that it is her mother, Dr. Betty Shabazz's wisdom, courage and compassion that guide her. Suhaib Webb is an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Public Service of NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. He has a degree in Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, and in Islamic law from al-Azhar Universiy in Cairo. He was named as a "Faith Leader to Watch" by The Center for American Progress in 2016, selected by the Muslim Community as one of CNN's 25 Most Influential Leaders; as well as one of "Five Hundred of the Most Influential Muslims" by the Royal Islamic Studies Center in 2017. He is also currently the resident scholar at the ICNYU. And PS, he married Adam and I at our wedding :) This conversation between Ilyasah Shabazz and Suhaib Webb on community and being there for yourself in order to be there for others just CLICKED. I'm currently reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X and listening to this episode again and it couldn't be more timely. I hope you enjoy! PS, In case you missed it last week, we played back another conversation from this event series, with Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and Iddris Sandu. ays xx Our sponsors, but more like friends, at Ahmad Tea helped us put so much intention into these events, and we could not be more grateful to have them as partners. www.ahmadteausa.com instagram.com/ahmadtea_usa I hope you enjoy this episode, as much as I enjoyed hosting these lovely souls. _____ If you have any feedback, PLEASE leave a review of PODCAST NOOR.

Last week we began our conversation with architectural technologist Iddris Sandu, and we entered the world of using engineering and design to create operating systems in our own lives that equip us for the present and innovate for the future. Today we are continuing our dialogue on the genius frameworks behind his company’s: EthosDNA, spatialLABS and Halt, and how you can set your value and walk in your power just the same.  Part 2 of Iddris’ interview will begin with a conversation of what it means to become a self-identified architect utilizing engineering and design to create your own efficient system and internal infrastructure. Iddris will offer guidance on the 10 Principles of Design that everyone can implement into their lives ASAP, which as promised, will carry us down the best rabbit hole of conceptualizing meaningful personal growth by: identifying biases, building bridges, and thinking like a creator. No more excuses this time!   At 23, the Ghanaian-born, Compton-raised architectural technologist has designed, programmed and built critical tech for the world’s corporate giants (Google, Boeing) and top apps and services (Uber, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook). He engineered the world’s first smartstore with the late Nipsey Hussle (rest in power), and he’s the founder and owner of spatialLABS, EthosDNA, and Halt, not to mention a rising music video director and artist.  Follow and support Iddris Sandu: https://twitter.com/iddris_sandu https://www.instagram.com/iddrissandu https://www.facebook.com/iddrissandu/ Learn more about your ad choices.

"The word impossible is my favorite word because I don't believe in it." It's rare to come across someone who can truly make you see the world differently - whether it's perspective, colors, or "slices". Iddris did that for all of us, and at 20 years old, his mind proves to be lightyears ahead. Born in Harbor City, CA, Iddris grew up simply as a "nerd", wildly fascinated with technology. "Tech was my freedom, it's in my code". His parents were both from Ghana; his mother, who is his heart, came from great wealth, and his father from poverty. But it wasn't until a father-son trip to the homeland took an unexpected turn that left Iddris stranded, and on the brink of survival. An experience that could have shattered a child's hopes and dreams, actually created them. Iddris realized he had a purpose, and from that point on, he dedicated his life to humanity, and technology was his voice. "If it doesn't benefit lives, I don't want it". With a relentless drive for innovation, he immersed himself in coding, and brought his ideas and visions to reality. By 13 he was interning at Raytheon, 15 working with Google, declined a full-ride to MIT, and has since has penetrated each of the largest tech companies in the world with his ideas. But where he's been doesn't matter, and this isn't a laundry list of achievements. This isn't the next Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk. And this isn't about creating the next great algorithm. This is simply bigger. This is about believing in yourself, believing that all great things came from people just like you. This is about believing that you can actually be your biggest role model. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Iddris Sandu. #MamaWeMadeItConnect!IG: @iddris_sandu@mamawemadeit@anoushmoin@getrauschymamawemadeit.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
