The proof is in the throughput. It always has been. We get attached to our habits as leaders—the routines that helped us win early, the patterns that feel familiar, even comforting. But habits have a half-life. What worked at $10M
Summary Insight: Google describes how multiple agents can coordinate. But real leverage won’t come from more agents alone—it will come from true organizational intelligence which requires alignment. Key Takeaways: Agents are people too. Really. Without organizational alignment, agents amplify chaos,
I’ve been sitting with this line: “You can’t solve the problem from the level of the problem.” It’s easy to treat it like a clever slogan. It isn’t. It’s a structural truth. Problems don’t dissolve from inside the same mindset,
