Writing a book reveals gaps in your knowledge; it forces you to confront what you thought you knew but didn't. Communication should be looser and more open than writing, which is a technology of rigor that requires deeper engagement.

Writing a blog was a way to force yourself to write publicly every day, even if your thoughts weren't fully formed.

Writing serves as a method for externalizing thoughts and organizing vague ideas, which helps clarify what I truly think.

I believe that writing is less about the final product and more about the process of thinking and clarifying ideas, which is why I value it as a tool.

The challenge of writing a book is finding the time and energy to dedicate to it, which is often limited.

A lot of people undervalue building an audience ahead of time; they get impatient and think their first couple of blog posts will be a home run, but it usually takes a long time.

My writing process is different from others; I often write alone and find inspiration unexpectedly, like in the shower.

Writing helps me clarify my thinking and communicate plans effectively to my team, often more powerfully than discussing them in meetings.

Writing is a tool for thinking clearly and getting to the essence of ideas, which is essential for effective communication in pitch meetings.
