Best thing I did was actively surround myself with builders

I used to waste my time with people that talk but don't build

Talkers cling on to builders to suck their resources like leeches

They will put you in giant email threads, Zoom calls, endless DMs, to talk ideas and connect you with other people in the "ecosystem"

You quickly realize you're now the protagonist in some bullshit startup theater show where nothing is ever going to be built

Talkers have no skills to build, are too lazy to develop them, and thus hover around builders to catch some of their food remains like hyenas

After 10 years in startups the talkers I know are still where they were when they started out

While a large % of the builders are succesful, rich and have built things with impact to their little (or large) part of society

Surround yourself with builders, not talkers because talk is cheap and building is hard!

@toridrew I had a hard time figuring this out, but I think it’s done in post. I also don’t think he was recording with his cell phone at the beginning while walking. Seemed too perfect. Regardless, genius way to capture a message like this.

When your outsourced vendor outsources something else, does that make it 2 x outsourced or outsourced to the second power? #Creative #design #videoproduction #Video

Vid Prod Fun Fact #048: It's still about goals, story, and distribution first! Shooting on the best tech can make your job easier, but don't let it be a distraction from focusing on the other stuff. #videoproduction #Video
