## Tactical Playbook
- Engage his 'hunting methodology' by avoiding rigid, data-heavy presentations; instead, pitch opportunities as intuitive explorations for untapped, specialized niches.
- Align with his 'creative libertarianism' by establishing shared fundamental values and tastes upfront, then step back to allow total autonomous execution without corporate micromanagement.
- When confronting operational constraints or disputes, never press for a zero-sum, protracted battle. Frame the obstacle as a catalyst for a sophisticated, in-house creative pivot.
