  1. Disability Web Access: I've Already Clicked Away

    "If a website is too much of an ordeal or time-consuming, then I've already clicked away." said Mike Adams who was born with a physical disability.

    • An estimated £11.8bn ($13 billion USD) is lost every year as the result of "click-away" costs because sites aren't accessible.
    • Mr. Adams is promoting Purple Tuesday, a day promoting accessibility awareness to businesses in the UK.

    We’re going to talk about his tweetstorm, How To Get Rich (without getting lucky). We’ll go through most of the tweets in detail, give Naval a chance to expand on them and generally riff on the topic. He’ll probably throw in ideas he hasn’t published before.

    Naval’s the co-founder of AngelList and Epinions. He’s also a prolific tech investor in companies like Twitter, Uber and many more.
