ConversionXL

It will come as no surprise, but like most things in life, conversion optimization will benefit from a strong strategic approach. This generally includes aligning your goals and resources to build out a roadmap, or at least a framework/process, for your experiments.

YoungUpstarts

by Ryan O’Connell, Director of GLAD Solutions. Everyone learns in different ways. That’s a fact.

Suicide, Cancer, and Community

Feld Thoughts

Berkonomics

A friend recently told me a story that had nothing to do with business, but unintentionally had a great lesson for all of us. He had asked his arborist if he could move a mature tree from one part of his property to another – to make room for an addition to his home. “Yes,” replied the professional. “And how much would it cost?” To which the arborist responded, “We’d charge $18,000 for that.”.

Rethinking Founder Vesting

K9 Ventures

So much of what we do in the tech industry is about innovation, disruption, and changing the status quo. But, when it comes to how we go about doing that some of the smaller details tend to get re-used based on previous norms and templates without being revisited or questioned.

Mike Michalowicz

I was just talking with Alan Fawcett about life, and work, and more life and more work. During our conversation Alan said something that hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s our constant quest for work-life balance, that keeps us out of balance. Wow! If we just let things be, all will be right in the world.
