@matt_gray_ Bro...what?

"Pay. $3,600 to $9,200 a month, plus performance pay tied to the numbers you own,"

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

Not me, haven't dived into this yet (no reason, to), but I can say this. It's a framework basically anyone can follow. The key is having something creators can promote that sells itself.

Wispr was an easy fit. Mobile, amazing, easy to show.

You need that.

Then the person you hire has to make sure top creators are fed. That's both with money and ideas/scripts.

The second side of this, which is arguably just as important, is the paid amplification.

I can't go into multi-touch, but IMO that would be huge, too.

Paid -> LP -> Install or Bounce/Retarget

That's just a quick take.

Best of luck on this.

@bensenescu I'm so jealous of that amazing hair...

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@yiqiw_ Sounds like reconcile nightmare. I'm with you on this.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

Hooray for juggling!

TikTok, done right.
LinkedIn, done right.
YouTube, done right.

That's 3 jobs.

You can be a clippy little bastard all you want to YT through TT + IG in 30s bursts, but that's not to say you're doing TT right, or IG right even if you get YT right!

LinkedIn? Different beast. This isn't always interop.

Also, X. Come. On.

Can we agree this isn't a role for 1 person or am I WAY off?

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@AlmostZara @sfstandard Great writeup.

"“He’s not going to have continuing governance rights in the firm. He may continue to have economic rights, but we don’t know what they are,"

It's called A LOT of money.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@LMUrbisaia Even if 5 years from now we all go "Ahhhh that makes sense, they were collecting voice/text for a reason!", I commend you for being upfront about it.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@AlexHartsuff Same, bro. It's 30-days upfront for me, 90 guaranteed. There are no exceptions.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@reg_expression @AlexiGlad HAHAHA

@TripleNetInvest Portland is pretty much a dead zone. Doesn't surprise me at all. You should have seen The Pearl District buildings during the GFC.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@noahreeveshq Yeah, you aren't gonna make it putting in 9-5. Sounds like a lot of comfy dudes.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@noahreeveshq I would love to be able to do that, but just keep in mind, lag is lag. People take years to adapt and by then it's usually too late. The best you can do is keep screaming you're right.

@gregorykennedy ?

@DominicDirupo R&D matters way more than current servicing. Look at pharma. Commercial is the goal, but commercial is nothing without pipeline.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@MeganNyvold OK I laughed and I own no red-bottoms. That shoe is hideous. My wife would veto immediately just for that chunky heel.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@gregbettinelli ...I didn't know that. Interesting.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@marcelolebre Underrated.

[Dan Trapp @dantrappx]

@philip0x That's awesome. Sucks to get 99% pass rate, but those 2 changed your life.
