The worst thing that can happen to a team is that their work devolves into projects

Last year I spent a few months reading through all of Berkshire Hathaway's Annual Reports spanning the last two decades. Sprinkled amongst the financials are a wealth of anecdotes, theories and mental concepts written in Warren Buffett’s trademark matter-of-fact style.

Innovation is a result of the discovering the right combination of things, not changing the elements that make it up. Choosing how and what to mix (and in what order) is at the centre of a successful strategy.

I've found that whenever a group faces a big decision, there are two types of reactions: Group 1 finds reasons. Group 2 finds a way.

The more senior you become, the more your job involves filling gaps and handling situations that are complex and unclear.

Managers get people together to talk about a problem. They divvy up the responsibilities, discuss risks and facilitate. Leaders, however, inspire action.

Poggio Bracciolini knew it the second he flipped through the first few dusty pages. He had spent days holed up in a Swiss monastery searching for writings that had been lost for centuries. As an avid manuscript hunter and former secretary to multiple popes, he was obsessed with finding the forgotten books of history. But this one was big.

Nobody is here to make good products.We’re all here to make great products. But what makes a product great? It's a combination of things – feel, utility, context, pragmatism, charm. Greatness is about getting the dials of dozens of these elements tuned just right.

In the face of a sudden shift like AI, it's natural to feel compelled to take action.The tricky thing is figuring out what that thing is. Humans excel at pattern recognition, but there aren't many patterns to observe yet – everyone is watching this unfold live.

Ferran Adria is considered one of the world's best chefs. In 1994, he opened elBulli, a 3-Michelin starred restaurant in Spain that won “Best Restaurant in the World” five times before closing in 2010.

Percival Everitt had an idea. Walking through a London railway station in 1883 he decided to purchase a postcard, the newest craze in Europe at the time. But it was late in the evening, which meant an early morning visit to the corner store. He started to think that there had to be a better way.

“Lets say you want to win a gold medal in the Olympics. You want to learn a musical instrument. You want to learn a foreign language. You want to build Berkshire Hathaway. What’s the formula? Dogged incremental constant progress over a very long time frame. Look how simple this is."

I have spent way too much time trialling different tools and platforms to find a good balance of how to ingest, manage, recall and enjoy interesting content. A few people have asked how I have set things up, so after a lot of trial and error, here is where I have landed (so far).

Are you familiar with the term alpha in investing? Alpha is a way to track the performance of a specific investment. It measures the excess return relative to the return of some sort of benchmark. For example, if you invest in a stock that returns 15% in a given year, while the Fortune 500 index returns 10%, your fund would have achieved positive alpha of +5 for the year. Basically, you beat the market (time to plan for retirement!).
