The Advisor's First Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's Labor Day weekend with nothing on the calendar, and Marc notices himself doing something familiar: filling open time with small tasks instead of sitting with the bigger question underneath. That observation becomes the entry point for this week's topic, the first question a real advisor asks, and why it is almost never about the decision on the table. Marc walks through what separates a consigliere from a consultant, why "what does this look like if it goes well" does more work than any tac
In the Room - The Military Psychologist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every trusted advisor eventually asks the same question. When someone is carrying something heavy, who do they actually turn to?

Companion to Monday's letter, The Consigliere Thesis. New episodes every Wednesday,
The Second Act (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After thirty years building other people's things, Marc asks the question that finds every operator eventually: what runs because of you?

New episodes every Wednesday. The companion letter runs every Monday at corporatethought.com.
