I want to tell you an old story that you need to know. For 14 years I've been writing a blog post every day, minus 13 days when I was in the Himalayas and I went to Mount Everest. When I started, I thought there was no possible way I would be able to write and post every day, but it turns out I have done both of those things.

Loyalty. What’s emotion got to do with it? That emotional connection to a brand is extremely important to customer loyalty. It’s often been thought to be a key driver of loyalty. It goes beyond a product’s or service’s functional benefits and taps into customers’ feelings, values and identity. True loyalty is about more than transactional convenience or pricing considerations.

Traditional marketing tracking methods like unique phone numbers and coupon codes are becoming less effective.

I spent about 60% of my time since lockdown in SoCal, 30% in Palo Alto, and the rest in Misc. It wasn’t to work at the beach, it was for family reasons. But still, I like many of us went from someone who never felt they could leave the SF Bay, to someone who well, did.

When we were young, we all wanted to sit at the adult’s table. But we couldn’t, often, because of our behavior. Growing up, we often thought we were cool, but we weren’t. Look back at your past.

Dear SaaStr: Why Do Founders Hire So Many Terrible VPs that Mislead Them? I think it’s a combination of three factors: Trusting your team. It’s hard to scale if you don’t. Needing a team. You can’t do it all yourself. And Hiring folks to do something you don’t know yourself and/or haven’t done yourself. Because … then you don’t know. If you hire a VP of Sales and have never done sales yourself, you won’t really know.
