The number ONE question I get asked is what I read. My fantastic job IS to read. I am incentivized to read the right things. In some ways, my filters — what I DO NOT READ — may be even more important than what I do read.

No matter how much I share and no matter how real time I share it, my strategy will be doubted by enough people to leave me with an edge.

My ultimate edge comes down to my eyes and ears, the network I have made, the people I work most closely with everyday, the wins, the losses and the long miles on the road to get face time with smart people.

Oh, and I write everyday. Try that first no matter what your strategy is.
