Really good to hear these principles brought out by video this time in addition to the times they've been covered in text.

As someone whose tried to absorb these concepts I especially appreciated the part about not attacking a competitor, just attacking the status quo is great category design.

just watched a video on the Savannah Bananas and cant think of a better example of category design. am interested in seeing you do a case study. sort of like what the harlem globetrotters did to basketball.

Good eye. When you Google Savannah Bananas, the first question is: "What makes the Savannah Bananas different?" We'll add it to our list.

I love this explanation, we attack the status quo not the competition

This is hard. It's like trying to stop saying ummm or ok.
