Just another day in ol' Brad Frost's inbox.

Would love to know something Brad,

If you could fill your “As Seen On” banner with BIG names like TEDx and Entrepreneurs On Fire allowing you to instantly gain exposure and establish credibility –

So you can reach Expert Status as a prestigious speaker/influencer/author,

Would you let the FAME get to your head?

Our chintzy Halloween decorations were falling apart, so me and the kids made our own with some scrap wood

Hit me up if you're interested in having us in to workshop with your team!

Brad Frost @bradfrost.com · 9d

We've been wanting to do this for AGES, so I'm thrilled we're finally making it happen. As fun as it is re-hashing the same core concepts to 5 people at a time, it's a hell of a lot more fun to equip everyone with foundational knowledge so we can spend our time focusing on the team's unique context.

It's proven to be a really awesome 1-2 punch!
1️⃣🥊 The course gives teams foundational knowledge, core concepts, best practices, architecture, and vocabulary
2️⃣🥊 Which frees us up to dig into the team's specific challenges and opportunities in our live workshop
