100 community

We are Linkedin's first official Alpha group & social syndicate.

We work together to learn, grow and build on the Linkedin platform to ultimately curate inspiration and motivation within our communities.

The community was initially created as a social experiment to see if 100 individuals could work together to help each other grow.

Over the past 5 months, every single community member has seen growth in their
relationships, sales, content engagement & impressions.

This is all because we have no leader, we work together, collectively, as a unit to help progress each other's growth.

If you're interested in joining the 100 community, send me a DM!

Hack My Mom has been an opportunity to know a lot of game changing and highly talented people.

Natwork

As CEO, I'v been leading a team of  up to 20 people at peak time. The greatest challenge I've faced has been to get to know and work on my deepest mental blocks and wrong believes.

As software developer for a big chunk of the time, I've learnt to program in different languages like Python, Java, Dart and PHP. Design and work on such a complex system has been challenging for everybody inside, but thanks to our agile vision of life and the help of a Scrum master we have been able to build a great product that has been used in Italy and London.
