A Letter Before We Begin If you're reading this, thank you. Whether we've known each other for years or only recently crossed paths, there's a reason I'm sharing this with you. I'm not sending you a finished idea. I'm inviting you into the earliest chapter of something I care deeply about. Over the years, I've been incredibly fortunate to learn from mentors, colleagues, clients, founders, artists, friends, and people from...]]></description><link>https://www.bobstudios.co/post/the-founding-proposal</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7280f56f3a9867f4d68b8e</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:21:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Vicky Aitken</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The People Who Helped Me See]]></title><description><![CDATA[I used to post about my mentoring sessions quite a lot. There would be homework. Notes. Things I needed to work on. And, apparently, brightly coloured slides about risk mitigation. At the time, I was trying to run growing businesses, lead a team, make decisions I had never made before, and figure out what kind of leader I wanted to become. So I asked people who knew more than I did. One of those people was Pak Roy. After one particularly difficult session, I wrote: “One of the toughest...]]></description><link>https://www.bobstudios.co/post/the-people-who-helped-me-see</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a8108bca7a7d1a936d5f3f1</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2026 01:15:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cde67e_1e0acb2b3fcb40208d7103e361fada1c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_591,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Vicky Aitken</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn From Professionals]]></title><description><![CDATA[An experiment in learning from people who knew things we didn't. Before BOB, there was DAEL. DAEL was a lead generation business. The name was LEAD spelled backwards. And because we spent a considerable amount of our lives calling people, we had a tagline: No hassle, we DIAL. DAEL. Dial. Yes, I was very pleased with myself  But one of the things I cared about while building DAEL had very little to do with dialing. I wanted my team to learn. Not only from training materials, scripts,...]]></description><link>https://www.bobstudios.co/post/learn-from-professionals</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a80fce0a7a7d1a936d5cc64</guid><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2026 00:18:43 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cde67e_691fffb95dc54b87ba2873034c9b1355~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_389,h_666,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Vicky Aitken</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Entrepreneurship can be damaging]]></title><description><![CDATA[This article is included not because it explains BOB, but because it captures one of the earliest written expressions of the philosophy that would later become BOB Studios.

Five Questions That Guide BOB  Before anyone understands what BOB does, we hope they understand what guides it. Everything in this blueprint is built upon five simple questions. What do we believe? People shape people. Why do we exist? To help people continue becoming. What do we do? We create the conditions where people shape one another. Where are we going? A world where people never stop becoming through one another. What do people...]]></description><link>https://www.bobstudios.co/post/bob-s-ecosystem-blueprint</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a7282796f3a9867f4d68f78</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:27:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Vicky Aitken</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The BOB Manifesto]]></title><description><![CDATA[People shape people. A Note Before We Begin BOB did not begin with the idea of building a community. It began with a question. What if some of the most significant moments in our lives aren't the promotions we receive, the businesses we build, or the milestones we celebrate? What if they're simply the conversations we have along the way? The conversations that quietly change how we think. How we see ourselves. How we see others. How we make decisions. How we lead. How we love. How we become....]]></description><link>https://www.bobstudios.co/post/the-bob-manifesto</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a727a13277d47c355d16c5f</guid><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2026 23:53:55 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Vicky Aitken</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
