Summary
Brad Jacobs expands on his first book with methods for building and running businesses at scale. He discusses choosing equity investors, combining acquired companies and aligning culture, pay and talent. The book also covers the mental habits he uses under pressure, including meditation and ways to reconsider rigid beliefs. Its final section examines technological change and possible futures for artificial intelligence. This is an account of his methods and views, rather than a promise of investment results.
