When you have something of great value to offer the world, don't beat around the bush or use metaphors. Offer it plainly, without filters. Straightforward and unapologetic. You have great ideas. Tell everyone. You are doing a great job. Tell everyone, especially to your boss. Don’t wait for the annual review… too many things will happen from today until the next raise is decided. You have a great product. Tell everyone. ​ This is exactly how I operate when a company asks me for an audit or consultancy, when someone asks me for mentorship. I tell it like it is, which usually doesn’t match what they want to hear. I say it with fewer words and less formality than they’d like.

You can buy it as a gift for you, your loved one, your brother, your company, or your dog. ​ ​Mentorship Package - $899​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

The kind of project where everyone, owner, contractor, union, inspectors, just wants to go home and eat turkey. On the morning of December 25th, a security guard on site hears something strange: “Clank… clank… clank…” He thinks it’s a rat. A...

Great power comes with greater responsibilities. When I come to Spain and I see the infrastructure of a relatively medium to high income country has and how this infrastructure has changed the lives of millions of people, you feel the weight on your shoulders. If you work in infrastructure, you are in a sector that is essential. I’m watching the AI revolution carefully. But the way a new road changes the lives of thousands of people with or without mobile phones in an instant is still too...
