I was thinking to Gustav at Spotify, who's the CPO of Spotify, and he says, talk is cheap, so we should do a lot more of it. And it's the power of debate and discussion in teams. And it's just the flip side of this, which is, nope, it's black or it's white.

Yeah, because you don't add up time. You go quicker. Do you not lose creativity? I don't think creativity is necessarily... No, because you iterate so much, you create more, because you do more. You know, like, for example, if I need to do an ad, but then if I spend three months talking about it, instead of a week, I might only run two ads a year.

Well, if I only talk about it for a week, I can run four a year, so I can iterate more. So I think, yes, maybe the inception time is shorter, much shorter, you know, so maybe, yeah, there's less discussion, bouncing back and so on, bouncing ideas and so on. But because you do a lot more, at the end of the day, you get more stuff done. I think from a creativity perspective, it still works.
