Big News: What is Business Acumen?
Question of the Episode: When does a metric go from being valuable to being vanity? 


Takeaways: 


  • Mike -  Look at alternative views. Find things that go against what you initially thought because you’ll learn something new about yourself.

  • Doug -  Go to someone in your business that does something that you don’t know much about and ask them to tell you a day in their life. Listen, and ask a whole bunch of questions. Seek to understand their world and then try connecting it to yours.
