Cut through the chatter
Create drivers, not cars
Ignore sunk costs
Return to analog

The real enemy
Make it your call
Our adjacent possible
Presume you’re capable
Life’s secret menu
Thinking is a skill
Fear never dies

Time is nowhere to be found
Put things in your way
Something to say
Thinking for yourself
Expect more
altMBA: Week One
Layers of audience

Make the decision once
Don’t ask, don’t get
The best shot is often backwards
