What he can talk about

Four talks, ready now
01

The Curator Wins

Your team can now make more options than it can judge. The bottleneck moved from making to choosing. How to tell what is worth keeping.

02

Nobody Invents Anything

It feels like a blank-page problem. It is an input problem. Daft Punk didn’t invent electronic music. Where originality actually comes from.

03

Shrimp Jesus and the Electrician

Everyone has the same tools and the work is starting to look the same. What separates the good from the slop, and how to name the difference.

04

Taste Can Be Taught

If taste were a gift, you could only hire for it. It is not. What a semester of building judgment in twenty-year-olds teaches about growing it in a team.
