  • Formula 1
    • Published: 2026-03-03 06:18 Beijing Time
    • Abstract: - Formula 1 is three competitions in one: a contest where the world’s best drivers compete at 200 miles per hour, an engineering World Cup where thousand-person teams spend hundreds of millions of dollars to design cars from scratch, and—as one of our listeners perfectly described it—“The Real Housewives of the Garage,” a soap opera of billionaire egos, team politics, and paddock drama that creates incredible reality TV.
      • It is also the world’s most popular annual sports series, with over 827 million fans globally—a fact that would shock most Americans, who had never heard of it until a recent Netflix series went viral.
      • Today we tell the story of how a chaotic, deadly, and dysfunctional European series became one of the greatest business stories in sports.
      • For decades, talented engineers and daring drivers dedicated their lives (and often lost them) to a league controlled for 45 years by one man: a former London car dealer named Bernie Ecclestone, who centralized power and extracted billions of dollars, while also undeniably making the sport successful single-handedly.
      • Then, the American company Liberty Media acquired the entire enterprise in 2017, assembled a team of Fox Sports and ESPN veterans, and did what Bernie never did—professionalize it.

  • How to debug a team that isn’t working: the Waterline Model

    • Published: 2026-03-03 21:45 Beijing Time
    • Abstract: - Every week, I answer reader questions about building products, driving growth, and accelerating your career.
      • Molly Graham is the epitome of the kind of person I love to work with.
      • She has spent decades working closely with some of the most successful tech leaders, including Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg, Chamath Palihapitiya, and Bret Taylor, and recently (through her Glue Club community), she has guided hundreds of leaders through the chaotic, lonely, and overwhelming journey inside early-stage and rapidly growing companies.
      • Drawing from these experiences, she has been able to identify patterns of what works and what doesn’t, and better than anyone I’ve seen, she can translate these lessons into powerful and memorable metaphors.
      • In her article below, which I suspect will become as iconic as “giving away your Legos,” she unpacks a management framework based on our recent podcast conversation that will change how you approach team challenges: the Waterline Model.
