The Looking Glass: What Incentives Good Work?
Humbling stories, market dynamics, right playbooks at the wrong times, and other threads.
Dear friends,
The month slipped away from me like red leaves from trees. It’s been an eventful one! I have stared into the dark recesses of a Twitter mob and lived to tell the tale. I have celebrated 2000+ Amazon reviews on my book. I have participated in an Angry Birds Halloween skit (what? That was big 10 years ago? Tell that to my kids.) I hope you’re making nice with cozy knit blankets this autumnal season.
The theme of the past few weeks in these threads? What incentivizes good work?
Enjoy.
