  16. Break out the group and get them brainstorming different ways to acquire, be specific and they should come up with metrics to measure, qualitative or quantitative\n
  17. James gives his google adwords example for high-end men’s sombreros. Start throwing out random ideas at class and get them to come up with ideas on how to get it out there.\n
  18. Go through each one and ask the class where they think the most learning happens? \n\nIf they don’t get it, then say it’s the release. Explain how you learn the most through that and you should respond accordingly. Give examples of Storypanda. \n\nTalk about people being afraid to release something. Scared it might ruin them.\n
