I'LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING

Hey. I'm John Coates.
I work at SoundCloud, marketing our premium services.

I post/comment on anything I find interesting. That usually means marketing, sales, management, and entrepreneurship. I am also an audiophile, outdoors guy, beer geek (my videos: Beer O'Clock) and like to go really fast on skis and bicycles.

My point is that in many cases what strikes us as unreasonable or illogical behavior becomes entirely reasonable once you understand the motivations and constraints that people are working with. So rather than get irritated, perplexed or unduly impressed by such behaviors, take your feelings of irritation or perplexity as a signal that you do not know what you need to know about the other person’s distinctive priorities, feelings, concerns, values, constraints and/or private agendas.
