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 EOY fears December 14 - December 27 Wrap Up The Old Year With Your Fears In the last TL;DR, I asked whether you set New Years Resolutions and got an amazing 50/50 split: I'm fascinated by the intersection of goals and fears and not many people do fear better than Tim Ferriss. You may know him from his "4-hour Workweek/Body/Chef/etc." empire of self-help content. If you're in the entrepreneurial world, it's hard to miss him: he's got his marketing and branding on lock...
A bi-weekly roundup of ways to rethink 2025 November 30 - December 13 (SO SPOOKY) Fresh Starts They Are A Comin' Most people seem to fall into two camps regarding New Years Resolutions They embrace January 1st with SMART goals and hope They actively ignore the New Years Resolution hype and say, "I'm not a resolution kind of person" I'm trying out something new here: I'd like to see YOUR vote in the poll! You'll see the poll results immediately after submitting your answer. Do you tend to set...
More How, Less Hype Hi Reader, If you haven't been living under a rock for the past few years, your inboxes, feeds, and networking events are filled with people breathlessly talking about the potential of AI.
