The narrator started working for an intelligence agency right before September 11th, 2001. They were thrust into unexpected roles and made important decisions at a young age. To improve decision-making, they started an online journal called Farnham Street to reflect on their experiences and distill them into usable information. They emphasize the importance of the reflection phase in the learning loop, where experiences are compressed and important information is retained.
