Transcript context
…In fact, we already have a book club channel that we just haven't used in the Slack in an organized way. You could run a way worse playbook than just copying Oprah over and over and over again in later decades, in different modalities. We'll talk about that in the playbook. Acquired Book Club. It's happening. So here is how it's going to work: Ben and I are going to choose a book time. Interval TBD. Could be every month. It could be every six weeks. We're gonna work that out as we go along. And then depending on the availability of the author, we are going to do either one or both of an LP episode with the author, discussing the book and a LP zoom discussion, with all of you LPs potentially with the author. If she or he is willing to join us, we are also going to give all LPs access to Ben and my notes on the book. Our notes on Seven Powers are already ready to go. As soon as we figure out the right vehicle to get that out to everyone. And then Ben mentioned the book club channel in Slack that has been sitting there for awhile: We're going to repurpose that for use of an ongoing discussion of our bookclub books. Yes, we are very excited to, to dive in and we are going to borrow from Oprah in more ways than one. So at the beginning of the episode, David mentioned that you have a box underneath your seat, pick that up and gaze inside… if you have been considering becoming an LP, but haven't yet… well inside that box, should you sign up, is a copy of Seven Powers by Hamilton Helmer, with a little note from David and I! We just want to send that out to new LPs as a thank you and welcome to the book club. And that will be going out to our next 100 LP subscribers. We also know that lots of you have been LPs for a long time. And so, we were also going to go back through and pick 100 of our existing LPs to send copies of the book to as a thank you. So keep an eye out for an email, if you're an existing LP or a new LP joining. And, if you live in the US we'll be sending you an actual copy and outside the US we'll we'll send you a digital copy. So we're excited and we hope you'll join us.…
