Thankfully, the a solution I have come up with isn’t extreme and it doesn’t require donuts.
I was recently given the chance by a local association – the OPMMA – to give a talk and I picked this problem.
I hope as you listen to how I think it’s solved and the three moments where this method demands doing the opposite of what our gut says to do.
