People suck at giving feedback.

It's not a natural human behavior and we fail to practice and perfect it.

But it's a must have if you want to be a great manager or build a great business.

My thoughts on feedback...
Ever since my first job in Finance, I've been obsessed with the value of feedback.

That’s because, I literally never received it.

Just once, at the six month mark of my job, my manager sat me down for feedback.

And all he said was "it's too soon to know how you're doing."
Other than that....nothing.

From then on, it was my mission to become great at giving feedback.

And i've come to think about feedback a lot like teaching:

• It's invaluable
• Trust is a must
• Conversation > Lecture
• Know your audience
• Specificity is key

Business school rewards the same set of hard skills.

Financial modeling. Operations. Excel.

In the real world, none of these are the most important skill.

And that skill is Storytelling.

Here's why...
We live in a digital age.

Technology is eating everything.

Skills are more commoditized than ever before.

And business is more competitive than ever before.

Storytelling is not & will not be commoditized.
I experienced this first-hand at @MorningBrew.

We were unproven entrepreneurs.
We weren’t making money.
We were building in a competitive space.
And we had zero brand legitimacy.

Quality storytelling is what gave us legitimacy.

I have exciting news to share.

Effective this week, I am moving from my role as CEO of Morning Brew to the role of Executive Chairman.

Austin, my co-founder of 6 years, will be moving from his role as COO to CEO.

Time for a quick reflection 👇
It is remarkable how this company has grown over the last 12 months.

We’ve long talked about this transition from newsletter business to media brand.

Well, that day is here.
Since January 2020…

• We 3x'd headcount to 90
• We built an allstar senior leadership team
• We built a portfolio of seven products across several mediums
• We built a burgeoning B2B business
• We have remained profitable, while doubling revenue

Curation is a superpower.

It's all around us, it's old as time, and it adds value to consumers.

Yet people fail to understand it.

It's time for a Curation masterclass 👇
Quick agenda:

1) What is curation
2) Misconception #1
3) Internet's impact on curation
4) Misconception #2
5) Misconception #3
To appreciate the value of curation you need to understand what it is.

My definition:

The act of narrowing down choice to the things that you believe a consumer will want or should want.

Curation is about limiting choice for the sake of speed & focus.
