I wrote a sonnet for Tucker Carlson:

I’m going to share with you all something I shared with someone on an advisory call this week: Stop rewarding the academic theater of PM best practices. I’m tired of folks thinking you put insights into a magical PM framework and a great business spits out the other end.

Proud to share what the team and I have been working on: a way of working with Claude that allows it to search externally (web) and internally (integrations), surfacing high quality results in just a few minutes. Internal search feels like magic.
