The Reading Room
Newsletters
Three publications worth your inbox, written by our co-founder Paul Lange: leadership with a backbone, the business of exceptional hospitality, and the deal behind the deal. Written to be used, not admired.
Conviction — Leadership With a Backbone

Leadership's hard part: the decisions, the accountability, and the governance that separates a working board from a decorative one. Drawn from four decades in private equity, venture capital, and the boardroom.
InnSight — The Business of Exceptional Hospitality

How the magic of great hospitality is actually built, costed, and repeated, so it shows up on a wet Tuesday in February, not just on the good nights.
Yes. Know. Deal. — The Business of Buying and Selling
What a company is really worth, what is actually changing hands, and how the terms get set. The deal is decided by what you understand before you sign.
Conviction, InnSight, and Yes. Know. Deal. are written by Paul Lange. Subscribe on Substack; the same editions also run as LinkedIn newsletters if you would rather read them there.
