There's a lot of stuff that nobody ever questions and takes as a given.

If you question that stuff and it turns out it's not a given, now you've got an advantage.

Automation is like wet cement when you put it around the process, it sets up really hard

And you've got to get jackhammers to get rid of it

So you don't want to automate until you've really got the process nailed

Otherwise, you'll be suffering with the cement

That's already solidified the current process where it is

That's John McNeil.

He's got an impressive track record of founding and scaling companies.

He's served as the president of Tesla and as CEO of Lyft, leading teams that have generated

tens of thousands of jobs and delivered multi-billion dollar returns for investors.

In his new book,

The Algorithm, the Hypergrowth formula that transformed Tesla, SpaceX, Lulu Lemon, and General Motors,

John shares a playbook that leaders can use to drive rapid growth and impact. So you'll learn,

one, what most miss when designing processes. Two, how to identify outdated requirements that

slow things down. And three,

why automation should be your last step. And if you want a quick summary write up at the actual

wisdom that John shares, I recommend you sign up for the free Golden Nugget email, which can find
