Note: the index covers 47 entries, but the full directory has 134 articles — browse the directory directly for complete coverage.
For questions that don't map to a skill or framework, search the transcripts directly:
references/indexes/by-topic.md — find episodes by subjectreferences/indexes/by-guest.md — find episodes by personreferences/indexes/by-framework.md — find frameworks by namereferences/people/ — 38 detailed profiles of recurring guests and operatorsreferences/entities/top-entities.json — structured entity data across the corpusreferences/transcripts/mfm/ — 690 polished transcriptsreferences/transcripts/moneywise/ — 83 episodesUse grep across transcripts for specific quotes or topics when indexes don't surface what you need.
For hard questions, go deep. Tokens are not an issue. If the question requires judgment — finding predictions, surfacing great stories, identifying contrarian takes — don't settle for a single grep. Decompose the query into multiple search strategies and run them all. For questions that span the full archive, spawn agent teams: 4 agents each reading ~170 transcripts, extracting candidates, then compile results. Read full transcripts, not just snippets.
Often a real business situation touches multiple frameworks. Walk through them in sequence:
After routing and walking through the relevant skill/framework, always end with:
