99. I think I might write a book...

What this episode covers

SCRIPT In the previous episode, I made the admission that learning about corporate governance can be embarrassing, in part because basically every course, book, or article out there assumes that you have a fundamental understanding of what the heck corporate governance is in the first place, and why doing it well matters. And then you have to take for granted that the author or faculty member knows what they’re talking about. I just looked up corporate governance on Amazon and got over 20,000 book results. Even if 90% of them have nothing to do with corporate governance, we’re still left with at least 2,000 books, most of which have intimidating and/or insufficiently descriptive titles, and holy smokes most of them are REALLY expensive! What I’m getting at is there’s a gap. I would define the gap like this: the corporate governance resources out there are long on super authoritative professional expert voices sharing facts, and short on genuine naïve curiosity about what good governance really is – and what it could be. And I think that gap might be fun to explore. I’ve never written a book, and don’t know how, but maybe I’ll give it a shot. And if my judgment of all you OMG listeners is at all accurate, I suspect your interests and mine are aligned here. This is the second last episode of season 2, so by season 3 I’ll be ready to share more. In the meantime, drop me a note if you have any big questions that you think might help to keep me inspired, or to share some words of encouragement!
