An amazing story and brilliantly told, too.

Thank you for a very informative post. I always knew as an adult that microwaves and radiation were not good for your health. However, you have scared me even more. But, that is a good thing as it serves as a reminder for me not to stick my head in the microwave or get very close to a reactor. Funny footnote is that I lived in Pennsylvania, not far from Three mile island and Harrisburg when that went sideways. I also had a job as a copier repair technician that took me on site when the Limerick reactor was being built in Pottstown Pennsylvania. No problem there, the reactor was not ready to be fueled yet. I also spent time in the US Navy around nukes. It's a wonder I don't glow in the dark by now. Again, thanks for a great post.

Wisdom on moving along from a job; and a story well told, at that. Thanks for sharing this piece, Steve.

Wow Steve. I knew that you could write business books, but this was fascinating!

Wow! Steve Blank, what a fascinating read! I have been following you for years, ever since you were in Seattle and spoke at one of my meetup groups. I always learn something from you. I believe in "always be learning", even if it does not apply directly to my career.

p.s. Actually "toxic bosses" actually does apply, and was one of the reasons I made a career change many years ago.
