Insights from World-Class Founders
I’m putting the finishing touches on version one of the Insights, a product I’ve been working on for the past few weeks.
In the next couple of days, I’ll be individually emailing everyone who purchased the preorder (Thank you!), sending the product, and asking for feedback.
The product includes the best, you guessed it, insights from the world-class founders I’ve been studying and writing about for the past year.
I want to make it as useful as possible to everyone and I’ll work constantly to improve it, adding more insights as I cover new founders.
Right now, the product is available for preorder at $99 per year before I double the price shortly after launch and continue to increase the price as it gets more valuable each month. Preorder Insights below:

How did she do it all?
Let’s get to it.
