Cost-plus pricing is dangerous. As Buffett says “Price is what you pay, value is what you get”. Your costs have little or nothing to do with the value perceived by the customer, the most critical determining factor for setting a price.
What are the hardest businesses to operate day to day? I’ll go first….restaurants. - Huge upfront costs - Lots of perishable SKUs - Constant mismatch of supply and demand - Quality control needs to be near perfect - Difficult labor - Dealing with health and safety regulations…
I’ve had the opportunity to work with and hire many people from Ivy League schools over the last 15 years. Most (not all) are great, smart, hardworking employees. But knowing nothing else, I’ll take a top 1% person from a state school over an above average Ivy Leaguer.

There's no reason to have someone full-time who has very, very specific knowledge. You can rent expertise, even world-class expertise. Businesses can really benefit from renting experts and focusing their hiring on generalists rather than specialists.

As discussed on @BG2Pod, VC investors would be thrilled to have all CEOs sign up for Elon/Tesla-like compensation packages that deeply align CEO interest with shareholder interest. We are now starting to see more of these packages in the wild (@rubrikInc). Great progress! #PPS

@SMBTelecomGuy Yeah it’s all good. I think most people don’t see that the right tweets are not about the author’s content at all. It’s about the comments, the dialogue and the opinions the tweet generated.
@DailyBroncos Ofc they did, no one in this app knows more about football and developing QBs than Sean Payton. If he's sold on Nix, I am too.
Denver held a private workout with Bo Nix the day after his pro day. The night before the workout, the Broncos sent Nix three packets of offensive play installation. And the next morning, as they worked in the classroom with Nix, he “crushed it”, per a Broncos source. The…
here is how the nix era will go. he'll show inconsistent flashes in 2024 that state media will spin as youth or the quality of the team. he'll be christened going into 2025 where he will proceed to show no significant growth. when sean payton leaves the team in 2026, it'll end.
Why is everything an “Agency” now? Someone please explain it to me like I’m 5. Is it just a buzzword? I feel like I see it used 1,673 different ways on 𝕏.

@IamScottlarson I will agree to this, I’ve been doing it for 35 years and it’s outrageously relentless in all Of the factors you mention.
@IamScottlarson The problem with restaurants is they have to too many SKUs, focuse on more niche-cuisine inspired menus and will probably last longer imo.
