In 2019 @Pretotyping emphasized the importance of focusing on building the right “it”—validating ideas quickly and effectively before diving into execution. Revisit this invaluable conversation in our newly re-released episode of #ETLLooksBack: https://t.co/oHTXZmO1TM

Asymmetric book bet of the month: If you are a fan of @nntaleb's books (as I am) there's a ~0.9 probability that you will enjoy @MeadowsRichard "Optionality"—I certainly did. Here's my full amazon review: https://t.co/O4JBHzdzI6

I really appreciated Albert Savoia's concept of "pretotyping" as a tool to ensure we're about to build the right thing (or as Alberto calls it, the right "it"). I highly recommend his book to product folks, founders, and entrepreneurs. #Product #pretotype @Pretotyping

Seeing @NimitAgarwalMD's post about applying pretotyping to innovation in geriatrics made my day! As with everyone with aging parents knows, there is no shortage of problems and challenges that need to be solved. AI + geriatrics = huge opportunity

As begin The Work on a new book, I want to take a moment to thank @SPressfield, without whose help I could have never beaten Resistance, and my book would have never seen the light of day.

"Fail Ferrari fast and FIAT cheap."—Alberto Savoia My clients/students heard me say and explain the above quote many times—someone took it literally. I took this photo in Burlingame, CA last weekend. If you know the story behind the license plate, or its owner let me know.

Most people can't handle the word failure. So, after many years, I changed the wording—but not the intent.

Great post by @DellAnnaLuca. While the Pareto Principle is overused, misused, abused, etc., the Pareto Frontier is much less know and, in many situations, much more valuable. I am putting some Skin In The Game along-just a tiny bit-by sharing this tweet :-).
