Notes:

The 3 simple rules of the Mom Test:

- Ask about specifics in the past instead of generics or opinions about the future
- Talk less and listen more
How to run better meetings:
- Focus on who will be in your meeting and how to maximize the value they receive while there
- Think about learning outcomes - How will you (as the leader) help them be wiser by going to your meetings
