The Human Current
The Formula That Works at $1, $1 Million, or $1 Trillion.
A new book by Derek LaCrone.
The Premise
What this book is about.
There are three things standing between you and the business you are capable of building. Just three. And once you see them clearly, you will never look at a problem in your organization the same way again.
Every challenge you face in your business, every ceiling you keep hitting, every team problem that won’t go away, every growth opportunity that feels just out of reach — is tied directly to one of three things. When you make that connection, you stop spinning and you get to start solving.
These three forces apply whether you are a founder working alone at a kitchen table, a manager leading a department inside a massive corporation, or a nonprofit director trying to stretch every dollar further than it wants to go. Size does not matter here. Stage does not matter. Industry does not matter. Human energy is human energy, and the laws that govern it do not change based on your zip code or your revenue.
“The best wisdom usually fits on a napkin. The best tools are the ones you actually pick up and use.”

A Note from Derek
“I’ve been working on this one for a while. There are several versions in various states of progress on my laptop, but this is the one. It’s the framework that everything else I do — sales, leadership, AI implementation, the consulting practice — runs on top of. I’m sharing it because I think it works. And I think the people on this list are the people it works for.”
— Derek
