A wide-ranging discussion with Ben Casnocha

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Ben Casnocha, entrepreneur and author of My Startup Life: What a (Very) Young CEO Learned on His Journey Through Silicon Valley. Ben is one of the most intelligent and thought-provoking business bloggers I’ve come across, and I’ve been following his work for years now.
Ben had quite a few questions for me about how the PMBA was developed, and our conversation ultimately turned into an extensive examination of cognitive bias, mental models, systems and processes, and the role of books in self-education. It’s one of the most in-depth interviews about the Personal MBA that exists, and you can read the whole conversation on Ben’s blog. I think you’ll find it very interesting reading.

Thanks for the link. I especially appreciated the points about recency, how it’s what you’ve looked at recently and what seems to be the best representation of the concepts.
