  • Chatting about Muse Today

    Update: interview now posted An hour or so ago, wrapped up a 90ish-minute chat with Adam Wulf of Muse (museapp.com and @museapp on the socials) Chatted a bit about our use of Muse - daily/weekly use, perspectives on tablet/canvases and direct input interfaces, and what it means to have a space of thought that’s separate-yet-productive and distinct from collaborative/participatory software.

  • You Aren’t Looking for A Coach

    Here’s something that stuck out getting to the middle of this piece: you aren’t looking for a coach. …People buy business books because they’re hoping for frameworks to solve their immediate problems (getting more leads, improving sales, scaling staff.)

But, it was positioned as a book to help you make more money. Continue reading →
