What a German mathematician and Berkshire Hathaway have to do with your firm's plans

Every firm owner has a plan sitting somewhere untouched. Priorities you wrote down. Things to fix. Ten items, maybe twelve. Grow the firm. Hire the second senior. Raise prices. Fix onboarding.
You've moved on one or two. The rest is where you left it. And you've told yourself it's because you're busy, or the team is short, or the season is bad.

It's none of those things.

In this 18-minute Out of Scope lunch and learn, we walked through why questions like "how do I grow my firm" or "how do I hire good people" cannot be answered, why a mathematician who died in 1851 solved the problem in a form Charlie Munger later used to build Berkshire Hathaway, and how to apply the same technique to the plan sitting in your own inbox.

Includes a live writing exercise.
