There's nothing wrong with EBITDA for going up the income statement for an apples-to-apples comp between peers. It's adjusted EBITDA that's the problem.

Too many ideas are as crippling as too few. Jumping from one to another dilutes your energy, scattering it across a barren surface. True progress comes from focus. Pick one idea, drill down, and grind it out with discipline.
