Ryan Holiday Quote
Growth Hacker Is the New VP [of] Marketing. What? I was a VP of marketing. I quite liked my job. I was good at it, too.

But the writer, Andrew Chen, an influential technologist and entrepreneur, didn’t care about any of that. According to him, my colleagues and I would soon be out of a job—someone was waiting in the wings to replace us. The new job title of Growth Hacker is integrating itself into Silicon Valley’s culture, emphasizing that coding and technical chops are now an essential part
