PRINT THE TRUTH is the first distributed political poster system in history. Every day until the election, we give you a free poster. Print as many as you can, paste em up.

In which case it doesn’t really matter if you show up late to the call and do it from a cell phone while sitting in an underground parking garage with the music playing. But on the margin advice like this is hugely valuable because it helps the listener understand exactly what your product is, and how clearly you understand the challenges ahead of you. - Andrew
