The Starbucks Reward app is a juggernaut: 34m users and ~$2B of stored funds (which Starbucks is effectively paid $200m+ a year to hold). But mobile orders are now 31% of US sales and focus on grab n’ go is ruining in-store experience. I explain why here:readtrung.com/p/starbucks-di…

On this year's Memorial Day, remember the past life and death sacrifices made by millions of Americans and their families and friends to save and protect our beloved country and the world from the scourge of fascism and dictatorship.

The next time an engineer tells me product positioning doesn’t matter I’m going to remind them that we let squirrels live because they have a fluffy tail. Squirrels are rats. With a fluffy tail. Messaging matters.

Men who act like jerks are more likely to get away with sexism. When a man is rude to other men, people are more likely to overlook his misogyny. They think he's just an asshole. We shouldn't give pricks a pass. Treating everyone poorly is not an excuse for degrading women.

More evidence that fare-free transit is bad policy: Colorado's "Zero Fare for Better Air" program didn't actually improve air quality. Also: Going fare free "failed to improve welfare even when incorporating [transit's] positive externalities." doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.…

Working at a startup early in your career is good because every time you think “someone should fix that” you realize that’s probably you. It conditions you to not become indifferent to broken things & inefficiencies. Nothing is ever someone else’s problem. It ruins you.

I think about spaced repetition forgetting curves for marketing/branding absolutely all of the time. Did you just launch? You need to get in front of people again at 2, 7, 30 and 60 days later if you don't want to be forgotten. This is the stuff brands are built on.

Here are some of my favorite startup sales learnings over the years ... 1. 0-1 sales talent does not exist. Founders, this is you. 2. Product/market fit is (almost) always found in adjacent markets. Don’t handcuff yourself to Day 1 market vision. 3. The demo should never be

Obscure Signs That Someone is a Badass I’ve learned to look for little “tells” that someone will be successful. While there is no guarantee, these things are always good signs.

Making a brief reappearance on Twitter to lament over and share this news that it looks like another state/local pub is biting the dust. Dan Vock is one of the most talented and knowledgeable writers out there. We need people like him in state and local policy journalism.
