That lens may not be sufficient to capture the complexity of the problem that you have in front of you.” ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 Julio Ottino & Buy The Book Nexus Thinking🔗 ⛓️ Julio - https://www.juliomarioottino.com/ Nexus Thinking - https://www.thenexusbook.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ⛓️ 🔗 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐲🔗 ⛓️ 🔥Thinking on Paper Website - http://www.thinkingonpaper.xyz/ 🔥Connect With Mark - https://www.markfielding.xyz 🔥Connect With Jeremy - https://www.jeremygilbertson.com/
