Hello everyone,
I’m back with #16. I hope this message finds you all well.
I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to pass the message forward.
“I don’t take cash, I don’t take stock and I don’t take shit.” - Bill Campbell
More from the Trillion-Dollar coach at the end of the article. Do not miss it.
First things first. I’m working on a thesis to solve a gigantic problem: How can we empower people to collectively deliver their best work? I believe companies are failing to unlock all the human potential they have within their organization. That’s the starting point of Rosie.
I have an amazing sparing partner - Marcelo Nicolau - and a few people that on and off offer me input, insights, and challenges. As I develop a more structured thesis I got a fantastic tip from Marcelo which I would love to share with everyone thinking about starting a new venture.

Bare here with me…. if entrepreneurship is your thing, this piece is a must-watch. I love NFX's work and all the amazing content they freely share with the general public. This 10 minutes video can provide great knowledge and insight for all entrepreneurs building their dream.
How am I doing so far? I promise you that there is more great content below! If you like the content inside #16 why don’t you share it with your collaborators?
It’s time to Think Different. Do you know what Apple could acquire with 10% of its market value? Look no further!
If you want to better understand how Apple is in such a dominant position to become the first company to reach revenue of $1 trillion, I recommend an 8 minute read on Scott’s Galloway most recent article - here.
TEXT.
“What’s the difference between B2B and B4B? It may sound simple, but we have found that reframing your business-to-business (B2B) company as a business-for-business (B4B) company can increase revenues, customer retention, and employee morale.”
MIT Sloan Management Reviews pitches a new form of doing business between companies and I find it very interesting. Read the full article here.
And now a new masterpiece from Reforge - Set better goals? Here’s why and how to make shit.
The war for talent is hot and business leaders and their companies are bleeding. It’s all over the news and it’s hurting economies on a macro and micro level. Leaders ask themselves how to move forward and how to solve at speed. How can companies stand out and win the battle? I think employer branding is a critical path forward. Great article from Harvard Business Reviews - Make Your Employer Brand Stand Out in the Talent Marketplace
AUDIO.
It is all about Tim Ferriss and Eric Schmidt chatting about Bill Campbell, the Trillion-Dollar coach. Bill is a legendary coach in Silicon Valley, where he coached leaders like Eric himself, Steve Jobs, Sergey and Larry, and many more.
You can explore the book here - written by Eric.
“…his rule was that there would be no gap between statements and fact! You had to be relentless honest, and candid and direct” - Eric Schimidt
My personal highlights:
46:15 - Who Bill Campbell is?
53:48- How to make decisions when people are not meeting eye to eye?
1:04:10 - How did Bill coach Steve Jobs at Apple and Eric Schmidt at Google at the same time?
1:08:25 - How was he compensated for it?
And the answer to this last question is very close to my heart.
“He was happiest when we were winning and working as a team.”
Made with love in Madrid.
Love,

Nice! :)
