8 yrs ago Dan and I started Young Jerks.
Since then we've grown to a measly 6 employees.
We do well, but we're not like crazy rich.
Everyone works 4 days, has healthcare, 401k and family leave.
You can build a nice thing without being a hustle pig / endless growth perv!
This is John Lyke, who has a very cool niche.
He went to film school and was a pro rollerblader & snowboarder.
This venn diagram of skills makes him an expert “blade camera operator”, a job that involves filming with a $100k camera while on roller blades.
You may have caught his footage in HBO’s fictional re-telling of the 1980s LA Lakers (“Winning Time”).
The basketball scenes are lightly co-ordinated and — to keep the action as real as possible — the players just go hard for 10-15 plays in a row and they take the best footage to edit.
End result is 💯.
Podcasters - what if I told you could offer your pod to any listener around the world, in their own local language but still keep it in your own voice? That’s the pilot we’re launching @Spotify!
It’s called Voice Translation and using AI, translates podcasts episodes into alternate languages, all in the podcaster’s voice. It’s pretty insane. Take a look and let me know what you think!

HOLY SMOKES! For some reason I didn’t think about this when Apple mentioned the iPhone 15’s external monitor support thanks to USB-C..
But you can now play games at impressively high quality using an external monitor and game controller.
Apple legit just made a gaming console!
