Big-picture #Raiders take:
For so long, they’ve had a rebel identity that fans loved.
I think we’ll see that identity shift as they become more cerebral under Ziegler/McDaniels.
That may rub some fans of Raider tradition the wrong way. Others don’t care how it looks. Just win.
Despite the slogan “ice cream of the future”, Dippin’ Dots went bankrupt in 2011.
After a savvy acquisition by an oil tycoon for ~$12M, they now do over $330,000,000 in revenue per year.
The crazy part? Most of the revenue isn’t from selling ice cream.
Here's the wild story 🧵
Instead of feeling that you lost the day after a bad morning or slow start, re-frame each day as 4 quarters:
1. Morning
2. Midday
3. Afternoon
4. Evening
If you blow one quarter, just get back on track for the next one. Fail small, not big!
