Commercial Awareness Made Easy.

Possible Meet-up and Extra Resources

Hi friends,

If you don’t have time for commercial awareness, or would simply like it to be easier, check out LittleLaw (1-click sign-up).

By the way, yesterday I attended their first in-person meet-up. It was amazing, and it inspired me to organise one too. Tap here if you’d be interested.

PS: I’ve started a newsletter where I’m sharing how I’m building Equal Opportunity and other productivity tips. You can join here.
