Reviews

This book is packed full of really useful content. As I was reading I actually found myself texting screenshots to clients as I was reading through, because sections triggered thoughts that I wanted to share with them. Super salient read that has great breadth, but that doesn't get bogged down in excess detail. Highly recommend!

Must read for all founders and company builders working in high growth b2b.
