What These Are
A process you work through. Not a quick read.
Self-Paced
Work through it in one sitting or come back to it across a week. Each playbook moves chapter by chapter, with reflection questions built in and a clear arc from start to finish.
Built for Depth
These are built from real advisory conversations, not book summaries or recycled ideas. The patterns that show up again and again across founders at the $2M–$20M stage. Written down clearly so you can recognise them in your own business.
The Playbooks
Available now.
Coming Soon
New playbooks come from the patterns I see most across advisory clients and Audit results. Subscribers to The Blind Spot get early access.

Set aside 15 minutes. Work through it properly.
Read the chapter
Each chapter builds on the previous one. Read it straight through the first time, without jumping ahead.
Sit with the questions
Each chapter ends with a reflection question. These are not rhetorical. Write your answer down. That is where the actual work happens.
Take the one step
At the end, there is one concrete action. Do it before you move on. One specific thing, not a list.
The founders who get the most from these treat them like a coaching session, not a blog post.
