Here's my conversation with Pieter Levels (@levelsio), self-taught developer and entrepreneur who designed, programmed, shipped, and ran over 40 startups, many of which are hugely successful. In most cases, he did it all by himself, while living the digital nomad life in over 40 countries and over 150 cities. This was a fun and inspiring conversation!
It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

Here I am in the studio recording the audiobook version of I HEARD THERE WAS A SECRET CHORD. The book goes on sale in hardcover, ebook, and audio next week.
Get the audiobook here: https://t.co/5eGFsaB5Q3
everyday i hear some song and think to myself "this might be the greatest song ever recorded"
sometimes it's a new song; sometimes an older one i've just come across; and sometimes an old song i've heard many times
but it happens every single day
Scooter Braun: Being here and meeting the survivors of the Nova Music Festival and the mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers of those who are lost and those missing has been too much. I have been a part and seen our industry respond with unity to violence at live music events and this time should be no different. Our silence must end. A music peace festival is no place for murder and kidnapping. They deserve to hear our voices right now as an industry. Shame on us if we don’t.”

Jack Antonoff produced much of Taylor Swift's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," out today.

Can we get a campaign going to compile videos by American rappers saying #FreeToomaj and that nobody should be killed for Hip Hop music? Is there anyone who can facilitate this?
