What a throwback… I added that to the altMBA book list years ago! My sister was working at Lending Club at the time and her manager gave it to her. I saw it when I was home over Christmas & thought it was a must add to the altMBA package. Such a good book.

Great thread Jon. I loved the story of how you were initially skeptical about cohort based courses and how your POV changed. +1 about context. Excited for you to create a space to learn hands-on with your community!
