The Shrinking Half-Life of Everything

from Magic 8 Ball with Melissa and Micaela

In this episode, M&M go down the rabbit hole on the shrinking half-life of everything. Change is nothing new. But never has the utility of a model or framework been so short lived. Business models, tech models, value delivery models, and buyer behaviors that work today can become obsolete tomorrow. If the half-life of everything is shrinking, what are founders and investors optimizing for? What do we believe will actually increase, rather than decrease, in value over time? What does it mean to “scale” when tactics and operating apparatus may only be useful for the blink of an eye. Maybe the magic 8 ball can help us figure it out.
