It’s story time…
Who is this wise cracker?
Someone left a comment reviewing my product-market fit workshop saying it was all “hyperbole.”
Excuse me?
I’m known for giving really practical and easy to implement advice.

And, I huffed.
Then, I forgot about it. Until it was time to do my workshop again. She reminded me that she did the analysis.
