Last month, after a lot of thought, I made the decision to join @alphacolin & the amazing team at @CustomerIO. After two decades of being a founder, this choice surprised me, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to do my best work here. It's a new Day 1, AMA.

We’re slipping into another dark age. My whole life I assumed progress was guaranteed. I realize now it never was.
