The best ideas i’ve ever heard on loops & flywheels have come from you Chao!
Love the hard earned gut checks in this piece.
Thanks for the convos - love how your spark so many ideas in me!
🤯 ok what I'd really like to do is sit down and ask you some questions about this fascinating and informative piece of work.
Thanks Dana! Anytime - like in our next idea gym? Or ask away here!
I might just do that! Thanks for the offer
The depth of your thought process is intriguing, Chao. I loved the common examples. They give a window into your brain.
Haha, thank you, Kathy!
Enjoyed this and particularly the disclosure/discussion of AI use at the end
