Most people look at a business and see a brand or a product. People who actually understand business see economics, structure, and incentives. This program teaches you how to read any business clearly: how it makes money, where it is fragile, what its real moat is, and whether it will exist in ten years. This is the skill behind smart investing, smart partnerships, and smart career choices. It is also the foundation for ever building anything serious yourself.
