@TomBaldwin66 Outstanding book on Keir. Stories well told, complex subjects explained with clarity and politics brought to life in a more engaging way than Iโve read for many years.

Many of the best stories (like the best speeches) last around 1,000 seconds
๐๏ธ MLKโs Dream Speech: 970s
๐ JFKโs Moon speech: 1,065s
๐ Average time to read a Hemingway short story: 994s
๐ด Length of a TED talk: 1,080s. (3 x โactsโ of around 6 mins)
๐ง Ideal length for a CXO pitch (based on their 15-16 minute attention span).
