How one issue gets made
A week of reading for ten minutes of yours.
Hi, I’m Leo.
I spent eight years building products at two fintech startups and one very large bank. Somewhere along the way I started reading annual reports for fun, and keeping notes on what each company actually did when it mattered.
Atomic Learnings started in 2023 as those notes, sent to a few friends. The rule was simple: one company, one decision, one idea you can use at work on Monday. 140 Thursdays later, it’s 4,200 of you.
Each issue takes about a week: the filings, the old interviews, the forum threads, then a few calls with people who were there. On the podcast you hear those calls in full.
I answer every reply. If there’s a company you want taken apart, send it my way.
