Optimizing 🦾
June 13, 2022
We’ve chatted about the importance of checklists. Checklists can be checklists literally as well as figuratively (i.e. software).  Checklists help us order our thoughts and actions.   Yet, the last step on each checklist should be: removing as many checklist steps as possible. This ironic strategy is necessary because steps inherently are friction, and friction is our enemy. We want to help our clients avoid the drag of clicks and thinking.

Embracing lists that we seek to ...

Bus-ta Move 🚌
May 11, 2022
In Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, which the Bridge team is currently reading, the author Jim Collins confesses that he missed a key ingredient 25 years ago when he wrote the first edition. He states that he now realizes the most important part of achieving a great company is: getting the right people 'on the bus.’  I agree. Fourteen and a half years ago (long before I opened this book), I was lucky enough to pick up the right ‘passenger:' Moshe replied to my job posting (...

Checklists Can Help Save Lives and Main Street ✅
April 25, 2022
In a 2007 article in The New Yorker, Atul Gawande, a surgeon and an author, advocated that more hospitals use checklists. He cited many medical studies showing how checklists save lives (and money).  Implementing one checklist, a hospital "…prevented forty-three infections and eight deaths, and saved two million dollars in costs."  The startling part: the list was only five steps long! In other words, people don’t consistently follow...

Competing With Ourselves🪞
April 19, 2022
About two weeks ago in Charleston, SC, in spin class where I sounded like I was getting a hair transplant, I enjoyed being at once together with my friends in the class and yet competing with them.  When they peddled harder and stood up, I wanted to also.  Our competing didn't mean that there was one winner and everyone else lost. It wasn’t a zero-sum game.  In that spin class, we all won.  After that class, we all felt great.  Competition is an ...

Ready for the Ride: Peloton & Total Addressable Market
February 28, 2022
Peloton’s new CEO, Barry McCarthy, was recently interviewed in the New York Times (Read the article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/19/business/dealbook/barry-mccarthy-interview-peloton.html). The authors asked Mr. McCarthy if he thought that everyone who needs a workout bike already had one. They questioned where else a company making stationary exercise bikes can go (…an ironic question for a bike product that literally can’t move). The Times wanted to know what ...

Rapha 🚴‍♂️
February 2, 2022
I recently bought a pair of jeans from the bike-lifestyle company Rapha. I find Rapha's stores, emails, and mission to be inspiring to Bridge, and I'll explain why.

First, you may ask, "What is Rapha?"  Rapha is a product company that sells goods for biking, including shirts, shorts, helmets, and accessories. What is unique is the lengths it goes to foster a community (and sales!) by having a coffee shop in it, organizing riding events,  offering members-only clothing...

Bloomberg: Shopify vs. Amazon
December 30, 2021
Last February e-commerce company Shopify Inc. replaced the “Ottawa, Canada” dateline that began its press releases and earnings reports with a strange new one: “Internet, Everywhere.” The geographical shift came at the insistence of Shopify’s founder and chief executive officer, Tobi Lütke, who tends to view such matters through the prism of cold, hard logic. In May 2020, only a few months into the pandemic, he’d made the early, seemingly rash decision to...

Upon boarding my flight to Mexico last week, did I eagerly wait the arrival of the bar cart? Maybe, but not before cracking open the book Great by Choice by Jim Collins.  I recommend the book because it provides new approaches to success. One takeaway in the book is not new: we’ve got to work each day.  Just like the anecdote in the book’s introduction about Norwegian explorer Amundsen, we have to put in miles each day. In a race to the South Pole, Amundsen's unprepared ...
