Results Junkies - Burgers, Bitcoin and Asymmetric Bets

Happy Friday! It's starting to warm up here in Virginia... which means the kids want to be outside all the time... which means you'll find me out on the sidewalk around 6p with a beer. You know, supervising things. 😎

New Podcast Episode

You’re busy, I get it. So here’s some highlights to help you skip around to the good stuff…

(5:15) - How we reacted to the original pandemic lockdowns at Bump. And how that reaction is even more relevant with the Russia/Ukraine situation today.

(8:30) - Will consumers be willing to give up Free Shipping or paying for fuel surcharges?

(12:30) - Cash is a key driver. Except in situations like now.

(15:45) - Why people at Yum Brands and Panera are probably patting themselves on the back right now.

(19:55) - Burgers and Bitcoin… and asymmetric bets.

(30:15) - Should you wait to get into crypto?

(34:20) - The people and companies that are best positioned for whatever’s ahead.

The Great Unknown

If you only read one thing this weekend, make it this piece by Fabrice Grinda. If you're planning on making any moves in 2022, this one's for you.

Sneak Peek: (The New & Improved) North Star

The Google approval came through yesterday. Still waiting on Amazon, Shopify and a couple others. (I know, I know...)

If you're "just" looking for Google Analytics and Amazon support, the current Chrome extension supports both and is available right now. Get it here. If your friends would call you an early adopter, hit reply and I'll send you the link to the development version for you to kick around with me. 👀

That’s it. That’s the email for today. As always, hit reply any time -- I read every response. See ya next week! 👋🏻
