"For any problem in the business, be the person who has the data to figure out why it happened." This was the advice I was given as a first time COO - and I really took it to heart. Looking back, building out the "causal chain of metrics" that made up the business was the first

There's one metric that's the gold standard for any self-funded company. Don't care if it's an agency, a coaching business, or a software company. It's the ONE THING you need to measure that tells you the efficiency of your entire customer acquisition process, and dictates how

There's nothing complicated about company culture. Culture simply happens. It's emergent behavior. There's nothing to do, it just is. A company's culture is a 50-day moving average. It's what you've been collectively doing as a company over the last 50 days. How do you treat

Give A Shit is a cultural pillar I will carry in to any team Iโ€™m on. Itโ€™s not just for product, you have to Give A Shit about the whole company. What does GAS look like? Every lead matters, even small ones. Look at designs, have an opinion. Care about the details. Be obsessed

I bet you 10% equity that the answer to your growth goals are hiding in plain sight within your data. You either... โ˜‘๏ธ Don't have clarity around metrics โ˜‘๏ธ Don't have clear ownership for metrics โ˜‘๏ธ Don't understand input vs output metrics But the answer is in the data

Years ago, a mentor said to me: โ€œItโ€™s your job to have the highest quality standards of anybody you work with. Youโ€™ll face pressure to lower them every day. Donโ€™t do it. If you can set a high standard and simply maintain it, youโ€™ll do very well for yourself.โ€
