  • The fight between data and stories
  • Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady recording studio
  • Sounds obvious that you should think slow act fast, but most projects don't go like that
  • The political utility of sunk cost bias
  • Tom dramatically underestimated how long it would take to make his Innovation Tactics Pip Deck
  • Robert Caro dramatically underestimated how long it would take to write The Power Broker
  • Internal forecasting vs Reference Class Forecasting, and the problem of uniqueness bias
  • Forecasting and iterating a solo jazz dance workshop ... based on Ashtanga yoga
  • Master Multiverse Mapping and fighting the Inherent Bigness of Ideas by asking, "how could we deliver the value to one person, right now?"
