A few times a month I offer 30 minutes of free help & support to anyone who needs it. Ask me anything, bounce an idea off me, request feedback for 30 minutes 1:1 online.

Using a new platform so details on why you want to connect go a long way.

Last year, I taught a 4-week long course about the creator economy ⁠— covering history of the industry, creators as businesses, web3, future predictions, & more.

Now, all of the videos & materials from that course are available to everyone for free! 📚

That fact that kids are spending $100k+ and 4 years to learn entrepreneurship from professors that have never started a business is literally the biggest scam of all time.

We will fix this!!!! @joinentre 📈

Today I joined @dshaccelerator May Cohort Demo Day.

The pitches were awesome.

There I found about @pickmybrain4 and found it very interesting.

Naval Ravikant is one of the most respected investors of our time.

He credits reading 1-2 hours per day as the main reason he's been so successful.

Here are 20 books @naval recommends reading:

Extremely thought provoking essay

"being 'for-profit' is a skeuomorphic mode of operation, and leads to a local optima [...] The nature of the medium of token ownership and unstoppability means we no longer need to extract profits to realize value creation."

[Jai Malik @jaimalik]

The most successful founders I've met are usually not just builders; they're breakers. Breakers of traditions, rules, and/or legacy practices.

Both building & breaking are often necessary for real industry change.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

As hard as it is, being a startup founder is an awesome job to have.

If your family doesn't think you're crazy, are you even a startup founder?

🤳 Creator startups will continue to rise.

The pandemic shook loose a wave of creators and social-media influencers who abandoned their corporate jobs and became their own bosses.

This shift has driven demand for tools that help them make a living.

Music monetization on the internet is unquestionably broken. With a payout of $0.003 per song stream, a musician needs 6 million plays annually to earn $18,000.

I'm so excited to support @soundxyz_ in their quest to let 1M artists live off their music, leveraging NFTs & web3.

The best startups are driven by a single, laser-like focus.

Gmail has 1.8Bn users and this is what it looks like!

If you sell a subscription for $10/mo, and you add just 1 net new customer per day...

After 5 years:
- you'd have made $547K.
- you'd be making $18K/month in recurring revenue.

Possible as a one-person business. No need to dominate the market. No need to disrupt anything.

Instead of solving market failures or fixing problems that are clear, visionary Founders push market evolution. @azeem and @JamesCurrier explain how Founders can push society to the upward bend of the exponential technology curve
