Frequently Asked Questions
What's the catch? Why is this free?
No catch. We believe in giving value first. Some readers eventually work with us on advisory or coaching—many don’t. Either way, you get intelligence you can use.
Is this going to spam my inbox?
Absolutely not. The Talent Transformation Edge is once a month. The Performance Edge is once a week. Every email earns its place in your inbox or we don’t deserve to be there.
Can I subscribe to both?
You should. The best leaders we know consume intelligence at both the organizational and individual level. That’s not an accident.
How is this different from other newsletters?
We’re operators who’ve built billion-dollar platforms and coached the people running them. That’s the difference.
What if I hate it?
