Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #94d • September 5th, 2026 This piece expands on one of the ideas from "The Tool You're Waiting For Doesn't Exist." If you haven't read that one yet, it's worth starting there. The skill. Use AI, and every other tool, to go deeper on what already matters, not to expand what you're willing to take on. That's the entire distinction between a tool working for you and a tool working...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #94c • September 5th, 2026 This piece expands on one of the ideas from "The Tool You're Waiting For Doesn't Exist." If you haven't read that one yet, it's worth starting there. The skill. Prioritization isn't finding a way to keep everything.

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #94b • September 5th, 2026 This piece expands on one of the ideas from "The Tool You're Waiting For Doesn't Exist." If you haven't read that one yet, it's worth starting there. The skill. The word "decide" comes from the Latin for "cut off." Every real decision kills the other options, permanently, and that's exactly why it's uncomfortable, and exactly why it works. Why it...

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #94a • September 5th, 2026 This piece expands on one of the ideas from "The Tool You're Waiting For Doesn't Exist." If you haven't read that one yet, it's worth starting there. The skill. Most advice trains you to get better at doing more.

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #89 • August 29rd, 2026 Hi Reader, I was talking to a podcaster this week about joining him on an upcoming episode. He's originally from Mumbai, and he told me a story that does really well on his channel: a wealthy hotel owner who threw a massive party next to his hotel's tourist attraction, a pond full of hungry crocodiles.

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #87 • August 23rd, 2026 Hi Reader, On Wednesday, a business owner told me, pretty proudly, that she gets emails all the time from people wanting to buy her business.

Lead with Purpose My updates for founders, executives, and creators who want to lead with vision, not noise Issue #86 • August 15th, 2026 Hi Reader, You Knew in Week Three. You Always Do. I had a Learn & Dine event with ten business owners recently, part of a Birthing of Giants cohort I'm leading here in Texas. Everyone at the table already knew their answer.
