- Fuck it, we’ll do it live - We take action. We build consistently, test relentlessly and learn from failure, quickly
- Exponential Improvement - At the start of every project, and believe it or not in most conversations we stop and ask “how do we just make this 10 times better?” It’s weird but it’s fun and effective and leads to a lot of creative breakthroughs. Don’t tell anyone.
