Last year I tried to launch something like a dozen small companies based on an "MVP" or 80/20 approach. The hypothesis being that even if not a full 80/20 split, I could ~probably~ catch 50% of the value by catering to t

I watched Columbo for the first time in the past year and I *don't* think the format is well known (I was born in the 90s, so it may be a generational thing). I want to expand on it because it's really unique and amazing. For thos
