and not a thought to think.
We're awash in data and still thirsty for insight.
We're drowning in data and still can't connect cause & effect.

Lots of headlines about how shocking it is that Virginia — which is soooo red — elected a blue governor from "just" the urban centers.

Doing great marketing is like doing ANYthing great. Musicals. Spacecraft. NFL teams. Schools.
The stars have to align. SO many things have to go right.
And there are SO many ways for things to go wrong.
