“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” —Napoleon Bonaparte. When your competitors make mistakes, it makes winning so much easier. But what if it’s you who is making a mistake, while your competitors are off to the races? You won’t know until you figure out what your competitors are up to. Knowing what the competitors are doing—how they’re thinking about the market, which tactics they’re using, how they’re crafting messages and design—can make all

I was at a golf practice range the other day. I took a nice, easy swing, heard that ultra-satisfying “click”, and watched the ball travel straight downrange and land exactly where I intended it to. And for a moment, one brief, fleeting moment, I actually believed I was getting better at this game.

None of us like to admit failure, we tend to want to celebrate our successes. We have a mindset that says, “Do more of what causes you to succeed!” I suppose it’s human nature to accentuate the positive, but I think it limits us, individually and organizationally. Success is not the strict opposite of failure. Focusing on why we succeed limits us to understanding a small subset of the opportunity.

Email is one of the few marketing channels that spans the full funnel. You use email to raise awareness pre-conversion. To stay connected with content subscribers. To nurture leads to customers. To encourage repeat purchases or combat churn. To upsell existing customers. Getting the right email to the right person at the right time throughout the funnel is a massive undertaking that requires a lot of optimization and testing.

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

My good friend, Buck McGugan , and I were having a conversation about sales performance. We were talking about what separates consistent high performers from everyone else. There were the usual competencies, we tend to think about–curiosity, business acumen, comfort with talking with money, resilience, mindset, and so forth. But then we started talking about “Caring.” All of a sudden, at the core of sales performance is this thing called caring.

When I was doing my Master’s degree in Australia, I quickly learned that an MBA program is different than an undergrad program because you learn most of the content from your peers and discussion. This is in contrast to doing an undergrad degree, which is centered more on asynchronous learning. In an undergrad program, you learn on your own through textbooks, videos, and self-paced learning, and also some synchronous learning through lectures.
