  • "How do you convince a social media manager that they're driving that north star metric when they're focused on engagement? It's about breaking down whichever step in the funnel you're looking at moving"

Resources Mentioned:

What Business Would You Build On Mars?

I would literally find five different things, whether it be services, experiences, or anything like that. Fives probably putting a cap on it, maybe 10, maybe 20, maybe 50. I trial all of them and there would be a few of them that would stick.

I'm not necessarily the big entrepreneurial type where I'll come up with the next artificial intelligence software that's going to tell you when your car blink is out or something like... But I'm an executer. Being an executer enables me to try many different things and look for growth within those many different things.

Definitely something service-based. Something that's going to turn into a commoditised need on a daily basis. I wouldn't necessarily be an operator, but I'd be a person who has a lot of knowledge on Mars with that skillset.
