⚙️ Hi Operator,

Issue #100. And you're still here.

Which means you're probably one of those operators who actually gets it.

While everyone else is chasing the latest productivity hack or AI tool, you're in the trenches fixing the stuff that actually breaks companies: the hiring process that takes 47 approvals, the compliance nightmare nobody wants to touch, the "simple" integration that's been "almost done" for six months.

You know what separates companies that scale from companies that implode?

It's 11 PM on a Sunday and you're the one frantically figuring out why the API is down, payroll is broken, and somehow you're also expected to have an opinion on the new logo.

That's why you're here. And that's why I keep writing these.

So instead of writing something new for #100, I'm doing what every smart operator does—doubling down on what actually works.

These are the 10 playbooks that crushed it. The ones that got the most forwards, the highest open rates, and the "holy sh*t, this is exactly what we needed" replies in my inbox.

This is my insurance policy against operational chaos. The 10 frameworks I'd grab if the building was on fire and I could only save what actually matters.

Time to steal some frameworks.

P.S Thanks for everyone’s interest in the meeting tool we’ve been demo-ing! If you want to still schedule a call, feel free to do so at this link. I’ll be sending out a deep dive on what we found out during this weeks calls on Sunday!

Stop Being the Team’s Firefighter. Start Acting Like Their Future COO

Your calendar is full. Your brain is fried. And somehow, your work still flies under the radar.

Here’s the truth: You don’t get promoted for working more. You get promoted for fixing what’s broken.

Bottleneck Breakers is the system I used to:
– Trim 20 hours of busywork a week
– Fix the stuff that actually moved the needle
– And earn a COO title before I turned 30

🧠 No video lectures. Just drop-in systems that make you undeniable when promotion season hits.
