Things I've Noticed
A Few Rabbit Holes.
Ah, well done. You've found the Thinking page. It's one of my favourite parts of the website.
A loose collection of observations, commercial oddities, and ideas that refused to leave me alone. Some are practical. Some are philosophical. Some are probably just me overthinking things, with the help of slightly unusual metaphors.
If you're curious how I think about commercial growth, this is probably the best place to start.
