Key Takeaways

1

Focus on concentrated betting by spending an entire year searching for one or two high-conviction deals and pushing 'all chips in' rather than diversifying across many small bets.

2

Embrace a 'mailroom' apprenticeship period to master every granular detail of an industry (contracts, operations, and talent) before attempting to lead or disrupt it.

3

Increase operational velocity by replacing formal quarterly board meetings with frequent, high-impact daily touchpoints, such as 90-second status calls.
