Hi Reader, We’ve all been there—staring at a calendar invite for a 45-minute meeting with no agenda, just a vague title and a list of attendees. No Slack message giving context. No email explaining how we’re supposed to contribute. If I had to guess, this has happened to you, too. And if you’ve ever sat through a meeting wondering why it wasn’t an email, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t just that meetings take up time—it’s that they often lack structure, purpose, and engagement. But here’s...

But I’ve learned that pre-orders are make-or-break for a book’s success—they signal to Amazon and bookstores how...

Today, I want to share one of the most underrated ways to build your LinkedIn presence. Contrary to what many people believe, it isn’t just through posting—it’s through strategic, value-driven commenting.

Hi Reader, We’ve all had a coworker like this, and perhaps it even describes us. Let me know if this sounds familiar to you: When I was working at LinkedIn, I had a coworker who was well liked and did great work.
