What is in an issue

One letter, read in a minute, useful before your next interview.

You are not hiring “we”.

From the 20 August issue
  1. 01

    Something that happened

    Most issues open in a real room: a clinic, a session with founders, a call from a bank.

  2. 02

    The mistake underneath it

    Named plainly, with the research that measures it where there is some.

  3. 03

    What to do instead

    A question to ask, one to stop asking, or a framework, with a video or the book if you want to go further.

    A few weeks ago I ran a session for a room full of founders.
