Elon Musk fired 80% of Twitter (6500 people) and everyone thought that Twitter was doomed.
He was right. Everyone was wrong.
It’s the management masterclass of the decade and every entrepreneur must understand why it worked 🧵:
There is almost nothing more inspiring than when you meet someone doing their life’s work.
Not chasing the hot opportunity of the moment.
Nor using great performance marketing skills to sell stuff the world doesn’t need.
But simply being who they were meant to be and working on the problem that speaks to their core.
@HarryStebbings I would never walk London again without a phone chain
These bike gangs are out of hand
Strong biz opportunity for someone who can make phone cases with chains that look cool and become a fashion statement similar to chain wallets circa 1990s worn by skaters
I generally agree but if a panel sucks it’s 100% a problem w the moderator. Great moderators make panels fun, fast paced and interactive w audience. The problem isn’t the panel it’s that most moderators are horrible bc it’s a very tough skill to train for. It’s not about prep it’s about situational intelligence in the moment like improv. 99.99% of people are poor moderators.
Was in London last spring and had kid on a citi bike rip a phone out of my hand while I was with my wife crossing st in front of our hotel Cafe Royal. Concierge told us it happens to guests daily. Have since spoken to several friends where something similar happened. London is beautiful city but the rif raff and petty crime is reaching ridiculous levels. One of the worst big cities globally for this stuff and that’s wild to say
