“rb Cohen's you can negotiate anything. It's a little dated, like old white dude in the 80s dated. So be mindful. It doesn't suit all audiences. But it's what I like about it is they talk about like negotiating dishwashers and stuff, not like going to market with meta versus Instagram and the acquisition. Like it's not complicated. It's like here's an apple and here's an orange and here's the concept of negotiation really spelled out simple. I did just do a podcast with John Lowry and he wrote a book called negotiation made”
