Elliot Shmukler is my favorite growth presenter! Thanks for having him on!

[@mevanscpa]

Some very good advice on the fundamentals of high growth - get customers to have a “talkable experience” to drive referral traffic and do not embark on growth until you have product market fit; i.e. you have identified the targeted baseline of customers that is the foundation for growth going forward.

Dang, somewhere in history, his ancestors pissed off the writers, doctors, Jews, and record keepers really bad. Then they went to Middle Europe. Poor guy. Hopefully he's been sterling at living contrary to the word's connotation.
