I strongly recommend that you build a personal contact system.

You can refer back to NLW, great episode on building a personal contact system.

It was a while back.

And it feeds into every strategic conversation.

And that's the foundation.

Everything else is built upon.

So how do you do it well?

One way that works very well for strategic discussions is to hire not just one strategic advisor, but a board of advisors.

You can think about all the mentors that you ever had or wished you had.

You should build them as personas.

You can give them a name.

You can even select to have as a mentor someone who is very famous and that you really like their personality.

thought leadership, you can give them an archetype or decision-making style.

You want to have them debate a decision between themselves before they present it to you.

Then you will get a very diverse perspective from all of them, not just one AI voice.

that is pretending to see multiple angles.

And what you definitely need to do here is to calibrate the pushback.

Don't just create a board of advisor that is a devil's advocate for sport, but rather create one that is not a psychophantic.

So I want you to calibrate the pushback, not a devil's advocate for the sport and not a psychophantic agreement,

I want you to instruct the board of advisors to challenge and then converge.
