Writing
Practical, specific writing on running recurring meetings well — retrospectives, mastermind groups, and the structural reasons groups keep having the same conversation.
Mastermind groups
Mastermind groups rarely blow up. They dissolve — attendance slips, sessions turn into pleasant catch-ups, and one day the calendar invite quietly stops. All of that is preventable, and none of it is about finding better members.
