There is a substantial gap—and thus an opportunity—at the intersection of the creator economy, platforms, and personal brand building.

Platforms based on creatorship and and connection *must* start learning how to cultivate and
support the creators who drive them.

AI can write code, pass the bar exam and sound human.

It still can’t tell when you’re unsure, holding back or about to walk away.

Today we’re introducing Thorsten-4, a Large Psychology Model that predicts what people will do next.

@NathanLatka In all fairness, you hustled social apps to get to your book launch event. 👑 Nathan.

@NathanLatka @Allen Bad idea

does anyone in SF with a high quality camera want $500? have a quick favor to ask — tag someone 🙏

@danielcberk It’s a good thing that AI can take lazy people’s jobs.

@Kazanjy I’m longing for the “Peter x Bryan — Coffee” calendar invite

I like this. Nothing replaces working around the clock.

[Tyler Denk 🐝 @denk_tweets]

the most humbling advice is that "there are no silver bullets"

every successful person does hundreds of things well that compound over years. here are some of mine:

> do the things that don't scale

> get good at taking criticism, the go looking for more of it

> say no to coffee chats

> be comfortable saying no to genuinely great opportunities

> meditate every morning

> spend the first hour of every day doing customer support

> spend more time fixing what people are complaining about that fulfilling requests

> ship when it's 80% ready, fast follow intensely

> hype your launches across all your social channels

> send emails to all your customers telling them what you just shipped

> stop looking at your competitors

> ask your customers why they are your customers

> become a power user of your product

> hire other power users of your product

> incentivize your employees to post about your product and engage with each other

> send a monthly update to everyone who refused to invest in you (there's nothing more motivating)

> post about how you are building your business

> do the cold outreach yourself

> work every weekend

> do the thing that makes no financial sense but buys you enormous goodwill

> put your health above the company

> read every night before bed

doing one of these is easy. doing all of them for a decade is the job

“You really have to work so hard. It’s so hard. And I think that’s misunderstood.”

Eileen Gu, the 22-year-old Stanford student, runway model, and only action-sport athlete to win three medals apiece at two Olympic Games (Beijing 2022, Milano Cortina 2026) has long been a subject of fascination. At Cannes Lions, she opens up about what people don't understand about being "the best" at their craft.

I used to be ruthless when it came to muting group chats like WhatsApp and Signal

the notifications are just too much

every ping feels the same whether it’s something important or just someone sending 5 laughing emojis

That’s why we built Tribe’s Smart Notifications. They only ping you when something is important.

Now I don’t have to mute at all

[Bryan Wish @bryanwish_]

@rajatsuri Waiting for the next post about the best parts of being a father.

[1 to 100 @1_to_100m]

Every founder hits a growth wall when they pull the wrong lever. You need AI, software, and humans to reach $100M+, but how do you know when to use each?

Next week at Web Summit, our founder Tim Springer joins Deb Liu and Bryan Wish on the Startup University stage to answer that. He will map out the execution framework we use at 1to100 to help companies scale beyond the noise.

Founders: The most dangerous deals in your pipeline are the ones where you never risked rejection. Without that moment of truth, you have hope, not opportunity.

[Bryan Wish @bryanwish_]

100%

[Peter Kazanjy @Kazanjy]

Bill's right.

The refusal to apply the patterns of high performance in sports, arts, etc. to white collar work is complete nonsense.

Whether it's measurement or even just high level of effort (contra "work / life balance") - fake email job people think they're different - but they're not.
