We’re excited to chat with Michael Alvarez about Your Next Five Moves. Check out our conversation below.
Michael, it’s always a great day when we have a chance to connect. Thanks for taking the time to share one of your favorite books with us. What can you tell us about Your next five moves?
Your Next Five Moves: Master the Art of Business Strategy by Patrick Bet-David is a practical guide to developing strategic thinking in business and life. Drawing inspiration from chess, where the best players think multiple moves ahead, Bet-David argues that successful entrepreneurs and leaders operate in the same way. The book distills lessons from his experience as an entrepreneur, strategist, and CEO into actionable steps designed to help individuals achieve their ultimate goals.
