When we shared those new tools/mental models with the world, I found a lot of people wanted to apply them not to products, but to their career - to rethinking the career 🪜+ designing their lives around mission-driven work in companies that make a difference. 🤯

At GoogleX, we spent a lot of time on how to look at hard problems in radically different ways in order to come up with sci-fi sounding projects like self-driving cars + delivery drones. 🚀

The first few hires at any startup have an outsized impact on the company’s culture + ultimate success. But matching great people to those leadership roles? Ridiculously hard. Most of those jobs aren’t posted + most leaders don’t publicly share they’re looking for something new.
