The Flywheel

Newsletter by Jay Singer
—–

The Flywheel is 2x monthly newsletter from Jay Singer that takes a deep dive into one company through the lens of feedback loops—a powerful framework that deserves a closer look. Examples are timely: Zoom, Robinhood, Peloton, and Stitch Fix. Singer has a knack for simplifying the analysis, but I always come away with new insights and the reminder of the importance of dynamic thinking.

Freakanomics

Hosted by Stephen J. Dubner & Steven Leavitt

Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of Freakanomics, has brought his provocative and illuminating take on economics to the radio/podcasts. With the episodes now numbering in the 400+—from potential downsides of philanthropy to the interior life of a dog—the variety of topics is far-flung and the thinking crisp. The other member of the Freaknomics duo, Steven Leavitt, has a fascinating new podcast “People I Mostly Admire” that is another offering from the same network. The guest list is eclectic and fascinating.
