Here my not so hot take for the week. Accounting firms are decent at instruction. But leave something to be desired when it comes to training/coaching.

I don’t learn from trainings, I learn from doing hard things, observing my mentors, and tackling new and challenging problems.

Most "trainings" at EY are really just instructional webcasts. Where they talk at you. Good thing to have, but not there are better ways to be "All In" on helping develop teams.

Hard to teach something that doesn’t come natural and not many can relate to. Mostly it’s learning the rules and who likes learning the rules? The rules are usually to the detriment of personal freedom and experience. Not arguing that rules are many times are a necessary evil. But us leaning and applying them is what gives value to our work.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
