Just left Athens after speaking at Google's Think Gaming event. The topic: How to build a culture where every hypothesis gets captured, data drives intentional decisions, and growth beats perfection every time.
Thank you, Athens. Thank you, Google. Thank you to everyone who showed up ready to build something bigger than themselves. Until next time!
