- It takes complicated concepts and makes them simple.
- It reminds people of the problem that's being solved - it focuses on the "why."
The story of your product, your company, and your vision should drive everything you do.

But for the most prominent American female players, the deals could soon deliver an immediate payday by unlocking a $24 million settlement, largely for back pay, that they reached with U.S. Soccer in February to settle the gender discrimination lawsuit.
