In spite of all the ink that journalists, analysts, and pundits have spilled on Uber over the years, no mainstream article has focused on what I consider to be the most elegant feature of this now ubiquitous, high growth global service — no driver-partner is ever told where or when to work.

It’s made easy because you can now own your media and change the conversation. I have a great example to share from a local Detroit watch brand, called Shinola. They’ve created a great narrative around the city of Detroit and its working class roots. If you want to change the culture, change the stories.”

I saw a tweet from Dan Primack saying the North Hall was basically indistinguishable from the Detroit Auto Show. I ended up in a fifteen minute conversation with Josh Ellman. And hour later when I checked in on him before going to sleep, he was flat on his back in bed pretending to be awake but was clearly out for the count.

And, as the Wall Street Journal reported last week, cities that didn’t make the short list — among them Detroit, Cincinnati, and Sacramento — are rushing to make changes based on Amazon’s feedback on where they fell short. Over time, trends may emerge from these conversations. Universities are good for economic growth.

You may have the most beautiful, well-maintained vintage property that seems perfectly suited for bed and breakfast conversion, but if it is in a strictly residentially zoned neighborhood, it may be over before you begin. Check to see if a business license can be granted for the property at your preferred location.

This time I told him I’d run it by my partners and get their feedback. Seth, Jason, Ryan, and I had a long conversation about it after going through the AvidXchange financing deck and monthly financial package. I expected that we’d decide to pass and set up the conversation with them this way.

In Meebo’s case, for example, I was lucky enough to partner up with Elaine and Sandy. No looking for partnerships (who’s going to partner with you anyway?). Trust me, once you’ve launched and achieved traction, you’ll have your pick of mentors, VCs, partners and all the legal expenses you need. Partner up? No legal muck.

I introduced my partners, we spent weeks with the team and felt good rapport. This article was originally published on TechCrunch.

We met at a private party hosted by his venture partner Mike Yavonditte and I outlined my concerns for the lack of precision of the algorithm. You can watch the conversation on YouTube and as you’ll see – even though the camera is on we had no problem sparring on topics and coming to a common view (or not).

I mean, what we really hope for this Podcast to do is to reach more of you while you listen to Detroit 105 or whatever your true north is. I was very curious to know what made Shikha create a new Indian brand, instead of carrying forward with what was working and just exporting to the global brands as a supplier and partner?
