Fair to your customers, sustainable for your business; a practitioner's playbook for pricing when AI usage is variable

What we learned about growth engines in the age of AI from a rockstar B2B company 3x'ing ARR at 180% NRR.

A ladder from HDYHAU to incrementality: what each method is, how it works, and when to use it.

How Anthropic's marketing ops team really uses AI, the skills-vs-tools line every team gets wrong, and cutting through the AI-brain hype.

Joining Khosla Ventures, Lessons from Founders, and Attention Maxxing

And some other things I've been noodling on this month.

Everything I've built with Claude Code in 90 days - systems, skills, and the workflows that changed how I work.

Everything I've learned from tinkering, building a super app for myself, and automating the way I consult and engage with others.

Now that we've covered the hard, technical parts of marketing attribution, we can have a frank conversation about common marketing ignorance, and how to become enlightened.

As CC takes off, the world is converging on VSPs - Very Smart People. Here's why and what you should do about it.

A long detour into web attribution. I couldn't find a good guide to tell people how web attribution should work, so I built my own. This is a long technical read. Reader beware.

A deep dive into attribution starting with technical fundamentals. Probably more than anyone ever asked for, but tis the season. Plus some other learnings from the field.

A standard rubric for assessing a new job opportunity, built by a founder who's worked for 5 other founders, and 20+ companies from Seed - Public.

Reflections from a tumultuous year raising $22.5M, doing an MBA while building a business, going to market, leaving my own startup, losing a dog, losing people I loved, and running some ultras.

And other lessons from the last month supporting small startups and big enterprises.

Four huge launches from Superme, Hightouch, Reforge and Cursor show how the tide is truly shifting from “help me think” to “help me do".

Once a month I'm talking about the problems I hear from other founders. (And what I've learned from working with 12 founders over the last 10 years)

A short tribute, thinking about change and luck, the rise of the marketing data platform and its accompanying AI elements, and how to think about hiring in marops for first time VPs.

And other advice to a head of marketing of a high velocity < $10M startup.

Notes from the field last week consulting in tech to a large enterprise.
