Much to learn you still have.
You probably know that but the question is “how?”
Learning from experts is one of the most popular and interesting ways to learn (or be entertained). Who among us hasn’t audited a class at Twitter U? We spend so much time unraveling Twitter threads because that spool is big and full of secrets.
The biggest challenge is accessing expertise. Today we met a new product to tackle that. Newcon is like “Netflix for professional keynote presentations and conference content.” Many of us can relate to its maker Cephas on the FOMO and disappointment of missing out on a conference because of astronomical ticket prices. Newcon's goal is to democratize access to that content, allowing anyone to partake regardless of place, time, or financial situation.
For today’s launch, Newcon has curated a shortlist of keynotes from favorite experts in the tech and startup spaces: Chris Dixon, Brian Armstrong, Li Jin, and more.
Accessing expertise is a common problem for founders and creators to tackle. These days, the more on-demand and personalized the solution, the better. Here are 7 more products offering modern solutions to mentorship:

Computer Museum takes you back in time to experience computers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, through its interactive simulator. The website is dedicated to the Chinese community but can be accessed and used by anyone.
“It’s the igniter of the retro-computing community in China, as well as an online laboratory to teach Chinese scholars how to research, preserve, and demonstrate their digital heritage,” maker PengAn Zhou shares.
