Series
- Cedric Chin | Why Tacit Knowledge Is More Important Than Deliberate Practice

Thoughts
- The final entry in the series is also the first in another series. This is a clever way to lead readers along between sequences/series. The two series are distinct enough that they can stand alone but connected enough that someone who reads one is likely to also want to read the other.
