Compass
A free weekly email on what actually shifted in AI and what it means for the people you lead. Every Monday, about five minutes.
Subscribe free →Five minutes to stay oriented.
The story
One story, told properly. Usually something people are already arguing about, and what it asks of someone leading people. The kind of thing you forward.
The practice
One thing to try this week, with the steps. Concrete enough to do on Monday morning and small enough that you will.
The ask
One invitation at the end, and only one. Sometimes a next step with us, sometimes a question we would genuinely like answered.
Curated, not aggregated. One story chosen carefully beats nine collected quickly, and every claim carries a link to where it came from.

Not a sample — the real thing. Every issue we have sent is free to read, in full, sources and all. One story, one practice, one ask. No email address required to look.

When a weekly read isn’t enough.
Compass keeps you oriented on your own. Some weeks that’s exactly right. When you want other people in the room, there are two steps further up.
Next step
Base Camp
A monthly gathering of founders and executives working through this together — a briefing, peer breakouts, and live coaching. Members also get the Base Camp Briefing, a deeper weekly email with a reproducible demo and an open question.
