Level 1: Conscious vs Unconscious My personal belief is that every single person on the internet, whether they realize it or not, is playing “the game.” The game is simple. When you post a piece of content—whether it’s a picture of you and your family on Facebook, or a video of you jumping into a pool in a bikini on Instagram, or a link to a New York Times article on LinkedIn—you are sharing a part of yourself at scale. The more you share, the more people learn about you. The more people learn about you, the more conversations happen, the more opportunities present themselves, and the more a scalable digital version of your real-life self begins to crystalize on the internet.

A good strategy has an essential logical structure that I call the kernel. The kernel of a strategy contains three elements: a diagnosis, a guiding policy, and coherent action. The guiding policy specifies the approach to dealing with the obstacles called out in the diagnosis. It is like a signpost, marking the direction forward but not defining the details of the trip. Coherent actions are feasible coordinated policies, resource commitments, and actions designed to carry out the guiding policy.
