I have a secret theory that psychologists are the hidden secret of successful SV companies. Some trained as such, some (Zuck, Ev, Jack, Zynga people) just seem to have the knack for it

My version of this theory is that Silicon Valley companies successfully weaponized being the only psychologists in the world who were compensated for reproducible results.

I wonder if/when companies like Peloton will start tracking the fitness *outcomes* of their customers. Obviously, everyone is on a fitness continuum (less fit
more fit). Metrics like "how many bikes we sold" and class attendence don't speak to actual outcomes. -
