@will__mcevoy@matthew_sigel This is not news, and easily discoverable. For those who are informed and familiar with the process, this type of transaction is very routine and often scheduled in advance so to suggest otherwise is speculative @matthew_sigel ππ€

@JennSanasie you were the very first person to interview @will__mcevoy when @cypherpunk launched. You're a legend. I'll always be a fan. Can't wait to see what you do next!
The end of an era β¨
Today was my last day at @CoinDesk! Thank you to everyone who came on this wild six year journey with me.
What a privilege itβs been to have a front-row seat to an industry that never stops surprising us. So many memories, incredible people, and stories Iβll never forget. π
Cheers to new beginnings π₯
ππΎββοΈ I am already pointing to this as an example of a founder/spox making his business look worse & worse.
Folks, pls don't emulate this guy in a crisis. He is overly emotional, unregulated, thus out of control.
Instead, do this:
β’ Think before you speak
β’ Take your lumps
β’ Make your words count
β’ Then stop talking & move on
The Kelly Clarkson thing is the gift that keeps giving. Crisis Managers are going to be able to use this whole thing as a training video on how not to behave.
He spoke about how all their friends have reached out, yet none have advised them to shut the fuck
@EarlIsNotMe Yeah, I thought that, too. Which sucks if he's genuinely a good dude who simply doesn't handle external-facing engagements well. Some people are like that.
Either way, this is a good reminder that media training/public speaking training is good for anyone in business.
It's possible that he is acting this stupid intentionally (extending the negative press on it) as a way to gain more visitors. I wish sales numbers were public, tho. Cause traffic does not equal sales or quality conversions. Today's spike in curiosity will not last.
Of course, he also might just be an ego maniac who loves attention no matter the tone. We live in a weird world in a weird time.
