The TL;DR, From Two Hats To One
|
A bi-weekly roundup of how to focus on just one thing September 7 - September 20 Hanging Up My Startup Boston HatFor the past two years, I've been the Everything Else drawer at Startup Boston as Head of Operations and then COO. Many of you that subscribe to this newsletter met me through Startup Boston! As Learn to Scale continues to niche down into the world of marketing agencies, I've stepped away from Startup Boston to better service our current and future Learn to Scale clients. Rest assured, this newsletter will continue to be chock full of business insights for small but growing organizations, employee engagement techniques, and leadership advice for anyone navigating entrepreneurship...and of course, updates from CRO Roman Noodles. If this isn't for you, clean up your inbox and unsubscribe from the TL;DR now: Opt-out from the newsletter If this content tickles your bones, let me know which topic(s) YOU want to hear more of:
Clicking those will tag you for when we're doing a special event or have a niche thing to share, plus it helps me cater this newsletter to what you want. Speaking of which, to celebrate the end of Startup Boston Week, Hubspot Inbound, and the start of Q4, our Small Agency Assessment is 10% off until the end of September. If your agency has dreams but only a faint idea to get there, this assessment will provide the roadmap you need.
A TL;DR from the CROI get groomed every quarter- your email list should too! -Roman Noodles, Chief Ruff Officer Wait, What's This About Marketing Agencies?If you missed it in the last TL;DR, Learn to Scale has been doing quite a bit of market research around small marketing agencies. The verdict: marketing agencies have common and totally solvable problems that I enjoy eating for breakfast. Learn more about the research, the results, and the changes going on at Learn to Scale in our concise blog post below.
I've been at the Hubspot Inbound conference all week hanging out with one of my clients learning about how breathless marketers are about AI. Every session: AI! And now with more AI! Look at how handy it is, it can summarize things! It can make more of what you already make! Things will get hard, because, you know, AI. But fortunately, we put more AI into stuff. The good news is that AI won't be stealing your jobs, unless your job is to do cool stuff that people didn't really ask for. If that's your actual job: watch out.

A bi-weekly roundup of putting hard-earned dollars to work November 2 - November 15 'Tis the Season for Spending I love Black Friday. It's not just because I'm a business owner, but I consider myself a pretty penurious person and find it difficult to treat myself. It's a constant running joke in my household that I love massages, I can afford massages, but I don't get one unless I've "earned" it in some arcane way, which means I end up getting 1-2 massages a year. Replace "massage" in that...
A bi-weekly roundup of mad-->argue-->sad-->move on October 19 - November 1 Talk About Change! I recently delivered a full day training on Change Management and a good third of it was about communication. For those of you unfamiliar with the Kübler-Ross Change Curve, think about the last time that someone broke up with you: first you get emotional, then you rationalize how much better you are off without that person, then you eat a whole pizza and cry a little bit while watching Moana, and...
A bi-weekly roundup of AI-enhanced communication tips October 5 - October 18 How AI Podcasts Drive Adoption, Adventure, and Self-Actualization When I conduct a Small Agency Assessment, one of the ways that I help make the recommendations stick is by creating a bespoke podcast using the audio overview feature in NotebookLM, the new hotness coming out of Google. Far too often have I seen a business get really great advice but then don't do much with it, mainly because the advice wasn't easy to...
