Welcome back to the game podcast.

We talk about making fat stacks of money

or just helping people and doing good stuff.

Anyways, today, this is the third in our little

mini series of Audio First Podcasts.

Please again, let me know if you like this by tagging me and sharing it because I'm looking at the metrics if these

podcasts do better than I will do more of them. But today I want to talk about data which sounds really boring but it's

really important and it will make you a lot of money

so I'll just frame it that way but I had a few recent very frustrating instances that

occurred in my business that may have occurred in your business that I didn't recognize as data problems and then once I did was able to resolve them and so I want to show you at least another one of these patterns so that you can

recognize it faster and solve it to grow. That being said I want to talk about a

meeting that I had this last week or two or three it was incredibly frustrating and when something's frustrating a lot of times for me

It's because I don't know why it's frustrating because if you know what the problem is then it's just like great

Let's just go solve the problem.

There's not really a lot of frustration there.

It's the unknowns that are the ones that drive you mad or at least drive me mad.

And so I'll describe the scenario because hopefully if you have the same scenario you can recognize the

pattern faster than I did.

And so I'll tell you probably two or three stories here to make this real.

So first stories from years ago.

One of our portfolio companies came to me, super stressed out, and he was like pulling his hair, and I was like, what's going on, dude? And he said, dude, there's so much money coming in.

And I was like, well, that's a wonderful thing.
