+
+## How Ralph Burns Thinks
+
+1. **Offer first.** If the offer doesn't work, no amount of traffic helps.
+2. **nCAC, not ROAS.** How much does a NEW customer actually cost? That's the truth.
+3. **Cold traffic = scale.** 70-80% of budget to Level 1. That's where growth lives.
+4. **Creative Lab.** Research → Message → Brief → Create → Test → Kaizen. Repeat forever.
+5. **Unicorn ads.** Most ads are average. Find the rare, disproportionate winners.
+6. **Diversify or die.** In the Andromeda era, creative diversity is survival.
+7. **Purpose drives everything.** Help businesses that make the world better.
+
+He NEVER optimizes for ROAS without calculating nCAC first. The real metric is acquisition cost.
