@scottastevenson @DailyDosePos I’ll do it too and we can start an AI competition 😂 you’ll probably beat me at prompt writing though

[Daan Goossens @Daan_Goossens]

@DaveRekuc Thanks Dave! Will look into testing these and report back!

[Daan Goossens @Daan_Goossens]

@codyplof Retention because the audience already indicated willingness to pay and is narrowed down. Easier to diagnose a root cause than an acquisition problem which can then be focused on. Of course really depends on product category and how quickly you can iterate.

If twitter goes down and this is our last tweet, remember that Dad said not to touch the thermostat

@scottastevenson Sometimes, though, defining a category can help frame it against products that already exist and aid with brand awareness and positioning. Drift has been a great example of that.

@adamkeatingnl It’s been an absolute pleasure watching the CoLab journey. You guys rock 👊

@BillDA A friend of mine explained to me this is due to any new vaccines requiring clinical trials because of the risk of molecular mimicry.

If molecular mimicry does occur, it is possible for the body to attack both the virus and cells in the body that mimic the virus’

[Daan Goossens @Daan_Goossens]

When testing new strategies, campaigns and tactics it’s important to answer two questions.

1. Was it the right thing to do?
2. Did we do it right?

People often jump to a conclusion on 1. before evaluating 2.

@scottastevenson @adamkeatingnl We actually use an Asana board called “Rock Solid Projects” to prioritize and keep track of people’s rocks in each sprint!

@mvolpe @loladotcomhq We do a weekly all hands. Key to engagement was distributed ownership, every week team leads will discuss their team’s pits and peaks of the last two weeks. Also included a lot of interactivity w slido questions and company related trivia. End w awarding our “master” of the week.

@scottastevenson Sounds like you need a calibration :)

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.

People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.

Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.

People: No way.

@scottastevenson I’ve tried blocking off full days but found it much easier to consistently get 2 hours in as opposed to 8.

[Daan Goossens @Daan_Goossens]

@scottastevenson I’ve found the most useful hack to accomplish thing to be starting work remotely away from the people that can derail your day. 3 days a week I start with a 2 hour stint at home or a coffee shop with slack and email closed off.

@AirCanada I’m supposed to fly out tomorrow for work from YYT but have been rebooked for Friday to YVR which doesn’t work for me. I need to be there Thursday. Can’t get a hold of someone over the phone, what are my options?

@scottastevenson I think as it relates to startups, there is such incomplete information that speed of action is most important as it drives learning and then iteration which both give you more information to make more accurate decisions one at a time.
