Taking an interesting class at Stanford called "Fundamentals of Effective Selling." The entire class is about learning to lead with curiosity in the sales process. It provides an excellent framework that can be applied to everything from formal sales to hiring talent to raising money, and more.

The framework has two components:
1. Five buckets of questions
2. Process of layering (where the differentiation is)
The five buckets of questions include:
• Current situation: What is the world the other party finds themself in
• Problem defined: the past, present, & potential problems
• Impact; the impacts of the defined problem (quantitative if possible)
• Ideal: what would the ideal solution look like
• Benefit: if the person gets to their ideal, what's in it for the customer?
The process of layering involves digging into each bucket with questions that:
• Explore and expand on what the person means
• Quantifies specific points (impact, scope, relevance)
• Provides examples the person has experienced
Going through this process can help customize the pitch, presentation, conversation in a way that anchors the information in a personalized way for the other party

Sharing a productivity / organization system that's been helping me stay on top of things with school, conference planning, and social media! Would love to learn from others on tips they enjoy!

Notion – Command center for tracking sponsors, speakers, conference planning, assignments, and tasks. Relational databases keep everything connected and easy to update.
Superhuman – Keeps email chaos under control. Reminders (Mon/Wed/Fri) and snippets help me batch follow-ups with speakers, founders, and sponsors without dropping the ball.
Riverside + CapCut – Podcast editing made simple. Riverside cleans up filler words and pauses; CapCut adds finishing touches.
Granola – Call notes and action items. Perfect for flagging podcast moments that'll become social content.

Content Process:
1. Ideate (or use AI to brainstorm)
2. Voice-to-text first draft (Wispr Flow)
3. Polish with Stanley/Notion AI
4. Edit to match my voice
5. Schedule on LinkedIn/Spotify

Hey All -

A Stanford friend of mine is hiring a Head of Operations to join Proto AI, a lean NYC team building AI-native infra for healthcare clinics. They raised an oversubscribed round backed by some of the best in the game: ex-GP at Thrive Capital, Kleiner Perkins, and multiple $1B+ founder angels. Founding team has scaled clinics in all 50 states, led multiple 0→1 startups, taken Tempus AI through IPO, and is ex-YC, AWS & McKinsey. They’re partnering directly with the OpenAI GTM team, and this is a rare chance to lead forward deployed AI agents in healthcare.

DM me and I can help share more details / send over your resume.
