Half way through the book, absolutely Love Pattern Breakers by @m2jr & @localvc Key takeaways: - Inflection theory: the greatest pattern breakers created new human behaviors, such as those that becoming a verb, e.g., google, uber, tweet. - You need to be right and not in consensus to break the patterns. - You need to live in the future to building a pattern breaking startup, not living in the present. While not everyone is building for ground-breaking or world-changing ideas, everyone needs to ask these powerful questions.

“Founders don’t create outlier start-ups by mastering established recipes or best practices.” 💎 Pattern Breakers by @localvc

Just got my copy of 'Pattern Breaker' by @m2jr and @localvc. I am hooked with the introduction. Looking forward to finishing it, and sharing my takeaways.

“The biggest challenge to creating breakthrough start-up is overcoming the limitations imposed by the established patterns of thinking shared by people living in the present.” - @m2jr @localvc This can be applied to almost anything. Whether it is a startup or a lifestyle business or any two countries in a war or any new world as such of network state. Limitations imposed by existing situations and mindsets of today limit the capacity to become what it may be tomorrow. Living in the future is such an opportunity to look for a brighter tomorrow.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading @m2jr & @localvc's new book "Pattern Breakers." The author's exposition of "inflection theory" is brilliant. Their stress tests provide a useful means of analysis through the formative stages of the entrepreneurial journey. hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

Launch of @m2jr's new book, "Pattern Breakers" with @localvc. Mike is emotional because he has put his heart and soul into writing this to share his extensive experience. I liked the book so much I spent my Sunday morning writing a piece for @FortuneMagazine about it.... @mobeik

Highly recommend checking out @m2jr and @localvc's new book, Pattern Breakers. As someone who was lucky enough to work with Mike so early on in my career, I can confidently say that he’s one of the best first-principled thinkers I’ve ever met, and a true servant leader to entrepreneurs in every possible way. Couldn't be more excited for the rest of the world to now have the same chance to learn from Mike’s endless wisdom and advice.
