This week I stumbled upon this piece by Andrew Glaser.

I didn’t know Andrew before, but, I just found out, he co-founded Laser Ventures, a hybrid consulting VC with Bob Moesta.

Bob has been one of the most influential people I discovered in recent years. He’s one of the creators of JTBD. His work and teachings have profoundly shaped the way I approach creation nowadays.

For those who don’t know it, JTBD is a tool for studying consumer behavior. It helps you uncover why people buy one product instead of others. And as such, it’s a game-changing tool for shaping solutions people will be willing to buy and adopt.

They studied Wild Bill’s Premium Soda and the jobs that people hire it for. What did they find out? Well, definitely not what they expected.

Want to see JTBD in practice and the revealing insights you can get with it? If so, you can read the whole article here.

In Playing the Long Game, I write about my journey as a creator and my existentialist quest for doing the right thing. It’s part of my system to make sense of the world, get better at work and life, and become a better human.

From my personal lens, I’ll delve into topics as diverse as business, strategy, design, software development, marketing, education, health, philosophy, ethics, and any other thing that might prove relevant at some point.

No more than once a week, I’ll share what I’m working on and send you the best of what I find, learn, and build along the way.

I promise to keep it worthy of your attention.
