No two organizations are the same, but the patterns are universal. These books distill three decades of operator work – from Fortune 500s to startups, manufacturing to tech. Each one is a practical field manual from real companies navigating real volatility. Not academic theory. Frameworks built to be used.
These are the tools we use with our clients. Now they’re yours.
The organizations that thrive in volatility don’t have better strategies. They have a better relationship with failure. OUTLEARN gives you a practical operating system for building organizations that get stronger under stress – the physics of failure, the biology that fights you, the silence that hides the signal, and the portfolio structure that funds it all.
Five parts. Every chapter ends with specific actions you can take when you walk back to your desk. No consultants required. No reorganization needed.
Volume 1 of the Built for Turbulence series – short, single-subject field manuals for leaders in volatile environments.
Out Now on Amazon – Paperback & Kindle. Audiobook coming soon.
The book that defined the landscape. While everyone else was hyping disruption, this book decoded it.
Drawing on insights from 300+ innovators, Disrupt Disruption cuts through the noise to show you the mechanics of industry shifts. It is the foundational text on why organizations fail to see the “State Changes” coming – and how to fix your mindset before it’s too late.
The secret? Stop chasing what’s new. Focus on what won’t change. From first-principles thinking to the “Four Horsemen” of corporate inertia, this book gives you the framework for staying relevant when everything else is breaking.
You know what to do. You’re just not doing it. Twenty-one principles across three domains – DO, LEAD, WIN – distilled from 30+ years operating at Google, eBay, and Mozilla. No fluff. No filler. Just the exact framework that separates those who ship from those still stuck in meetings.
Being an entrepreneur is brutal. The highs are intoxicating. The lows will crush you. This isn’t another motivational book – it’s daily medicine for the entrepreneurial journey. Raw insights and hard truths from three decades of doing the work, written to help you survive the chaos, silence the doubt, and keep moving forward when everything tells you to quit.
