Six Essential Reads to Understand My Building Philosophy

Since 2015, I have increasingly been writing about the process of how I look at building companies — specifically boutique media companies — the lessons I have learned while doing them, and the philosophies on creating, nurturing and sustaining that I have developed as a result.

Thought I would gather the six longer writings/presentations I have created and posted, in one place; it may be helpful to many of you looking to ways to think through your own businesses. So here you go:

1. The Process of Growing Up: Go Slow To Go Fast
2. How We Got off the Addiction to Venture Capital and Created Our Own Way to Profits
3. Small And Mighty: Why Small is Having A Big Moment
4. That Company Culture Question: What Is it?
5. Patience: The Radical New Business Model
6. Lessons From A Decade In Media Entrepreneurship
