An underrated parenting hack is that kids love branding. My 3yo won't drink milk when I offer it except when I say "here's your cold, fresh milk"
i'm constantly seeking people (founders, teammates), who: 1. say they are going to do something 2. actually do it (bonus: timely and w/ clear communication) 3. repeat this process indefinitely v simple and weirdly rare. especially #3
