About 72% of that music NFT revenue can be attributed to the electronic music genre. Hip hop/R&B/Soul came in second, with Rock/Alternative third.

Another thing is a sense of urgency. The company is especially dedicated to moving very, very fast .

That deep thinking and speed are combined with a substantial amount of user focus and user empathy. And finally, Stripe is a humble and low-entitlement culture .

You’re a coach: Coaches understand that teams are composed of people and the interpersonal relationships between each member determine to a large extent the effectiveness of the team, what it is capable of producing as a unit. PMs too must inspire, motivate and convince their team to fight for Every Single Inch.

Side benefit of this method: by forcing multiple iterations on a PR/FAQ, you implicitly gain the approval of everyone who reviews it, demands iterations on it, and subsequently approves it. This then means that when a product passes the PR/FAQ process but subsequently fails in the market, people are more likely to take collective responsibility.

Stripe values quick-thinking, quick-acting people with "taste": if you spend the time and you put a lot of thought into appreciating something, teasing apart what makes it great, and building a thoughtful, opinionated perspective, that’s taste.

Most PR/FAQs are rejected, and the ones that pass often generate further questions that need to be answered. This is a feature, not a bug. Spending time up front to think through all the details of a product preserves your company's resources to build products that will yield the highest impact for customers and the business.

Ownership: I can give you a problem statement, but you’re the one who determines what your job is. You don’t get driven around by the team; you figure out what the team needs, and you deliver that.
