I just had to explain to my kids that we only had a landline growing up and I used to fight with my sisters because if someone was talking no one else could get through. It was hilarious that they didn’t believe me… wait til they realize there was no Google or Alexa.

It’s easy to let work pass through an org being just “fine.” A doc? Fine. A campaign? Fine. A design? Fine. A new hire? Fine. Any one of these might not break things, but compound “fine” by 100s of people & projects, and you have a problem. Fight “fine.” Every time.
