I’ve previously written about Marcus Lemonis’ big picture for businesses, and how he uses it to solve problems. I’d like to extend this now into a more general problem-solving process. There’s an implicit hierarchy in People, Process, Product, with the … Continue reading →

The previous disclaimer still applies. I don’t recommend the show in general. Evangelion is allegorical in nature, and the symbols are straightforward. When I hand you this cipher, you will be able to understand the allegory by doing a straightforward … Continue reading →
