When you’ve launched your product, raised a round or two, and scaled the business beyond the early days, inevitably things start to slow down. You used to speak in hours and days, and now it’s months and quarters.

Lately, my Customer Experiences have been lousy. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was more understanding when Customer Experiences weren’t great.
