If a PowerPoint Sucks…It’s The Messenger, not the Medium
Many have wished for and striven for the death of the powerpoint presentation. I have always disagreed with this point of view. There is no doubt that most power point decks are terrible and yes, should be killed. However, it … Continue reading
Being Small is Not a Strategy for Beating Your Competition
A meaningful percentage of my startup clients have no respect for their competition. Too many first-time founders have bought the story that big existing companies in their space are too slow to be a competitive threat. Or that “existing competitors aren’t as … Continue reading

Every Business is an “L” Business
Ah, the “L” word. No, not “love”. The other “L” word. You know the one…the one that puts startup founders into an internal rage. The one that signals to the founder that the person using the word finds their business … Continue reading →
