ODF is building the next Stanford MBA for founders. We’ll do over $1M in revenue this year, & we’re now re-imagining our curriculum & programming that will help us scale to $10M, and then eventually $100M. If you want to build this with us, reach out to @david__booth & myself.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: concrete, punchy, corporate
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Founders and operators
