WHY IT EXISTS

The public conversation is too polished to be useful.

Everyone is publishing, posting, predicting, and presenting. The result is a lot of commentary that sounds confident but rarely helps you make a better decision.

The most valuable perspectives are still shared in the conversation after the panel, the dinner after the conference, the call before the board meeting, or the candid exchange between people who know the public answer isn't the whole answer.
