What books changed your life?

McKinsey makes $500,000+ on a single presentation.

You can learn their simple framework below (for free):

The secret? Story, flow, and structured arguments.

Every fresh analyst is taught this blueprint:
• Introduction & context on one slide
• Always lead with the conclusion
• Pyramid argument structure
• Title storyline & slide flow

Let's break it down, so you can apply it too:

Set the stage by using the SCQA framework.

Situation: what's the current state?
Complication: what needs to change?
Question: how can you solve the complication?
Answer: this one deserves it's own slide, up next.

This tells your audience WHY they should read on.

Example:

Next, lead with your answer.

Put your conclusion out there, and let people digest it.

Explain WHY this is the answer later on.

Example:

Break down your answer using the Pyramid principle

• Back your conclusion with 3-5 key arguments
• Support your arguments with findings & data
• 1 argument per slide, drive your point home
• Nothing overlaps, nothing is missing
• "Nice to haves" go in the appendix

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

The Persuasion Paradox

Have you noticed that the most argumentative people rarely persuade anyone?

The most persuasive people don’t argue—they observe, listen, and ask questions.

Argue less, persuade more.

Persuasion is an art that requires a paintbrush, not a sledgehammer.

The Effort Paradox

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless.

Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of effortful, gritty practice.

Small things become big things. Simple is not simple.

The Wisdom Paradox

“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.” — Albert Einstein

The more you learn, the more you are exposed to the immense unknown.

This should be empowering, not frightening.

Embrace your own ignorance. Embrace lifelong learning.

The Growth Paradox

Growth takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you ever would have thought.

Growth happens gradually, then suddenly.

When you realize this, you start to do things differently.

The Ladders of Wealth Creation—a step-by-step roadmap to building wealth:

Making money is a skill—like playing the drums or piano—that you can get better at over time.

I wouldn’t expect to be able to sit down at a piano for the first time and play a concerto. The same is true for making money.

This is why most first companies fail.

The Ladders of Wealth Creation breaks an insanely complicated topic of building wealth into the component parts and skills to give you a roadmap of what to do first.

Look at this graphic, then we’ll break down each step.

Ladder 1: Time for Money

The first ladder is trading time for money. This is how most people you know earn a living.

It may start with an hourly job working for Starbucks, but then transition into a salaried position working at a company.

The skills for success are simple, but critical:

1. Show up consistently
2. Being reliable
3. Eager to learn

Every job requires those three things.

To climb the ladder to a salaried position you need to specialize in certain skills (design, copywriting, legal, nursing, etc).
