Every business wants growth. Every executive wants innovation. Every marketer wants loyalty. Yet most companies spend their time chasing the average customer, the mythical person who represents the middle of the market. They design products for people who are moderately interested. They run campaigns aimed at consumers who might buy if the price is right. They build strategies around data that describes what people do, not why they do it.

Yoon discovered this pattern through years of consulting work with major companies across dozens of industries. Time after time, he saw the same dynamic. A tiny fraction of customers generated an outsized share of revenue. More importantly, these customers held the key to understanding what the product really meant in people's lives.
