Foundational watching · 3 videos

**Before you go deep on tactics, watch these three.** Hal Varian on the Google Ads auction (the mechanism that runs the modern web). Apple's design philosophy (what design-as-strategy actually looks like). Steve Jobs rolling out Think Different (the best recorded master class in brand and leadership). These teach you how to think, not just what to do.
