I built and sold https://t.co/0PDma01Bry for $1.3 billion to Adobe, and along the way, I received plenty of advice that turned out to be entirely off the mark. Here's a look at some of the most glaring misdirections:

1. "As CEO, focus on executive business tasks." This couldn't be further from the truth. The core purpose of any company is the product it offers. As CEO, your primary role is to ensure that this product is the most valuable it can be for your customers. It's not just about overseeing; it's about being integrally involved in delivering quality.

2. "To scale, you need to decentralize decision-making." Actually, the opposite is often more effective. As organizations grow more complex, centralized decision-making can slice through red tape and foster quicker action. Even in environments that champion decentralized processes, top-down leadership often proves to be the fastest route.

3. "CEOs shouldn't get caught up in the details." This is a myth. Consider leaders like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Brian Chesky, and the Collison brothers — all are/were deeply involved in the intricacies of their businesses. Emulating their approach is not misguided; it's a blueprint for hands-on leadership.

4. "10X engineers are a myth, and believing in them is harmful." Quite the contrary. In many teams, a small fraction of the workforce often generates the majority of outcomes. Recognizing and nurturing high-performing individuals isn't just realistic—it's crucial.

5. “You must validate every decision with customer research.” Contrary to popular belief, not all successful decisions stem from extensive customer research. Many of my pivotal choices were guided by my own instincts and preferences for the product. Trusting your vision and building a product that you would use yourself can lead to creating something that resonates deeply with your customers. Personal intuition can be a potent tool in product development.

Huge news in the House v NCAA case.

The Court granted all 3 damages classes.

NCAA is now facing a potential judgment in the multiple billions of $$.

The case is also seeking to eliminate all #NIL compensation restrictions.

Order at the link.

[Mit Winter @WinterSportsLaw]

An issue often identified with #NIL is that businesses and others can’t accurately value the use of an athlete’s NIL.

Total Player Value is a new entrant to the space formed to help with this.

With an eye toward rev sharing, it will measure an athlete’s broadcast media value.
