A common question people ask in business is "yeah - but does that scale?" TBH, nearly 100% of the most successful things we've done @GainsightHQ initially looked like they wouldn't scale. Worrying about scale upfront kills creativity.

Two amazing lines from today's episode with @philiprosedale and @bgurley - highly recommend! "For God's sakes people, the metaverse was a warning, not an instruction manual." "The internet has from the very beginning and continues to be the ultimate arbitrage machine"

The last time I visited a car dealership was 10 years ago. Little did I realize that was likely the last time I'll ever do that. Having used Carvana (and blown away by the experience), I loved getting into the guts of how they reimagined the car buying process. Must listen!
