This episode has a pretty simple description. We talk about what data you should be gathering and the best way to leverage it. That is it. Our guest this week is Neil Hoyne, the Chief Measurement Officer at google, and author of “Converted: The Data-Driven Way to Win Customers' Hearts”. He compares business to everyday relationships, explains data’s role in decision-making, and even gives us an experiment to try. We also learn why our goal shouldn’t be to outrun the bear!

This week we speak with Howard M. Shore. Shore is the Founder and CEO of Activate Group, a Bestselling Author, speaker, and serial entrepreneur. He talked with us about zeroing in on your customer, making decisions for them, and the importance of turning your current customers into raving fans. We get into the weeds on payment structures and membership plans and Shore uses the phrase “check your ego” in a conversation about growth. Shore was a speaker at the CAR WASH Show 2022 in Nashville.
