2020-08-2544 minMasters of ScaleWhy your company needs new rituals w/Shishir Mehrotra (YouTube, Coda)You need more than a good product to scale – you need strong rituals.

It’s always entertaining to hear Chamath’s views but the most insight was on his views on addressing racism and that took me down a rabbit hole reflecting on my own experience. Find...
