Advising Puerto Rico

I was listening to an ex-FBI agent explain something that stuck with me:

Every profession has a “problem child.”

One person who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Or worse, knows just enough to sound confident.

And when things go wrong, it rarely stays isolated.

It turns into: “This doesn’t work.”

I see this happen in business all the time.

One bad experience, and suddenly every future hire is filtered through that lens.

Sometimes the structure doesn’t need to change.
Just who’s allowed inside it.

This week’s newsletter started with a moment in front of the Royal Palace in Madrid and turned into a bigger conversation about how businesses inherit rules they never revisit.

The full story (and cafecito takeaway) went out in today’s newsletter ☕️ link in bio
