I tell stories for a living. Former journalist, startup/founder comms + thought leadership today. Fun will be had.

The power of podcasts and our VC ecosystem. “You’re seeing sharp, smart VCs ... transcending their walled gardens of Sand Hill Road and becoming more mainstream media figures,” says podcaster Kevin Rose. Fascinating piece in VF.

@alexrkonrad My experience at 2A only weeks ago. Swear some of the same people tottering on the bar stools tho.

@SimaoCCruz Nice one, Simao! I'd also add to the first point: Within that vision, show your passion and authenticity — and then explain how it will impact / benefit the audience. We're all looking for an outcome — the intended audience should *get* how it will benefit them!

@0xDesigner Loving the backpack nomenclature.

[Jason H. Harper @JasonHarperSpin]

@0xDesigner Words matter. They have far greater psychological impact than most people realize. As a lifelong journalist and now comms head, I see it in action always!

We all just wanna be heard. Even more so if you’re a crypto founder seeking investors in a difficult fundraising environment. @standardcrypto co-founder @adamwgoldberg crafted an insider’s guide to getting that pitch right — and the 7 deadly sins to avoid.

@AlokVasudev @aidanfitzryan Light blue hoodie for the win!

[Jason H. Harper @JasonHarperSpin]

What good are roads without decent destinations, asks @AlokVasudev in @theinformation. In this case, we're talking #crypto infrastructure (the roads) vs social, gaming, & music apps (the destinations). Nice work from @aidanfitzryan! @standardcrypto

Going to #consensus next week. First-ever #crypto conference. What should I know before going?

A really amazing peek behind the VC curtain, courtesy of @standardcrypto's co-founder, @AlokVasudev. What we look for when we invest — during crypto’s highs and lows

"Sometimes you've got to break glass," — @standardcrypto co-founder Adam Goldberg. Principles and beliefs matter: that's why I joined up.

[Adam Goldberg @adamwgoldberg]

When you go all-in on crypto, you get used to people saying you’re a visionary — or an idiot — for leaving a stable job. 3 years after forming Standard Crypto, our beliefs hold firm https://t.co/FcHPSF6yhv

That day when you were supposed to fly to #Belize, but the luxury magazine folded instead. #Media #magazines UGH.

Not for nothing, but #BeverlyCleary and #Ramona novels some of the best writing I'd read in a long time. Almost 105. Wow. #respect

@iamspecialized mountain bikes in Mexico? Yeah, my last international trip (last year), and a @RobbReport #biking story out now

@ExplorersClub @georgekourounis That was super fun! Thanks to everyone who tuned in.

[Jason H. Harper @JasonHarperSpin]

Disaster Master @georgekourounis and I speak about #preparedness tonight in the field & home, for the @ExplorersClub. There will be free snacks & drinks after. (Virtually, of course.) 7 pm, ET — go to the club's hp.
