I’ve seen brilliant CEOs (much smarter than me) fail because they froze. And less brilliant-CEOs win because they moved. Learned from the action. Then moved forward again. In startups, motion > perfection.
NYC is really really REALLY lucky city planners in between the Civil War and WWII massively overbuilt the city, planning for the century ahead. Today we don't plan for the future anymore. We create an overly idealized version of the past in our minds and fight any change to it.

I'm hearing a lot of chatter recently about "CPMr" from e-comm/DTC land. Yes, DTC marketers love to create newly branded metrics, but this one actually matters. Tracking how many unique people your ads reach over time should be one of the top five things folks look into when…
