Key Takeaways

1

Utilize the Delphi Method or the 'Thinking Time' Slack app to eliminate groupthink and ensure the most persuasive person doesn't dominate decision-making.

2

A massive, time-sensitive service opportunity exists in helping businesses migrate to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) as the old platform shuts down and marketers struggle with the transition.

3

Niche trade shows are highly resilient businesses that often sell for 10-15x profit, significantly higher multiples than standard e-commerce or agency models.
