Better Than B-School
by Joe Wells
Timeless wisdom for investors and entrepreneurs. We study the topics you didn't cover in business school—everything from deception to power, disasters to public works projects, and more—to build our mental maps, improve our judgment, and increase our effectiveness as business builders and capital allocators. Each season is an in-depth study of a specific topic, and each episode covers a different book within that topic. Our goal each season is to answer big questions, uncover common trends, and build a database of actionable insights we can apply immediately in our businesses.
