       | willing to swallow a pile of bullshit for that to happen.

       | I'm sure Theranos' pitch deck was super tight and got right to
       | the chorus while also being full of things that were impossible
       | to create.

       | If pitches have to to be overly short because there are so many
       | of them, do fewer of them.

       | A refreshing take on a much discussed topic.

       | Note that pitch is also a musical term, so the title is a little
       | weird.

       | A great book about the prodigiousness of Max Martin and other
       | Swedish producers: "The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory".
       | Lots of industry tales about artist who did and didn't take the
       | advice of their producers. Kelly Clarkson, for example, stopped
       | taking Max Martin's advice after her breakout album and slowly
       | declined with fewer recognizable hits.
       | 
       | The theme: Hits can't be planned or predicted. It's a numbers
       | game where you keep trying to make a large number of them and
       | eventually something breaks through.
