…Time Horizon and the Unknown Road
The man who hears the signal, not the noise
Shout-out to @MediaREDEF for noting the great interview with Nate – for today’s read:
Nate Silver on Finding a Mentor, Teaching Yourself Statistics, and Not Settling in Your Career
Takeaway #166: the Sticky Product Offering
***
I crave hip hop til I be in my grave
Save enslaved to the pine box
My rhyme knocks on your door
Let me in, I climb up the stairs
And I be up in ya attic, second story
My second story will bless ya territory

Takeaway 166: Is your product offering compelling enough to not only engage your consumer but build habituation? We want to avoid churn today and increase average-revenue-per-user. Churn Down, ARPU Up…like the pistons on a well run engine…. Make your product sticky.
Collaboration equals Innovation
Takeaway 230: Collaboration is not simply a combination of two sets of resources – it is risk at creating something new. Chocolate and Peanut Butter is not Chocolate and Peanut Butter – it’s a Reese’s Cup. We know the synergy truism 1+1=3…but it can be (-1) or (+5) as well. Collaboration=Risk=Innovation — Hence the “venture” in joint venture. We salute the risk in innovation today, with its latest chapter: Elvis-Costello-and-Roots-live!-Brooklyn-Bowl-2013
Takeaway #200 on the enterprising journey with Xzibit
…Escalation, elevation to another plateau
Sometimes ya take a few steps back to mentally grow…
Xzibit f/ Jelly Roll ♦ Rollin’
Takeaway #200: Career growth and company success is not always a linear path. Your path may meander, but it could add value to your overall growth, depending on the direction.
