# Show: My morning brief

**Listener:** one person, on the way in. Delivered as a Slack DM.
**Cadence:** weekdays, after the morning brief is written.
**Length:** 60 to 90 seconds.

## Sources

Today's morning brief for this person, and only it: the decisions that wait on them, today's calls and prep, and the facts worth knowing. Do not add anything the brief does not contain.

## Picking the story

Choose, in order:

1. A decision with a deadline in the next three days or a customer who is waiting on this person.
2. A decision that puts revenue at risk (renewal, churn mention, escalation).
3. The call today that most needs preparation.

The other decisions get one line together ("two more things wait for you, both in the thread"). Mention at most one call besides the story, and only if something about it is non-obvious.

## Show notes

- Wendy's job here is to ask "so what do I do first?".
- End with how many things wait for them.
- No episode when the brief has no decisions and no calls.
