@callmehouck This is a terrible photo of @pmarca! When I first saw this, I honestly thought @callmehouck "secretly" photoshopped his head to look like an egg as a way to go viral. Which would've been diabolical but also a little bit genius imo
@sweatystartup This is me (minus the kids) so trying out a bunch of side quests. If you have some time, would love to hear what you think of https://t.co/0nSMuXve4q
@DrStarson@jasonlk@myfirstmilpod@thesamparr I love how @thesamparr has been sharing these gems for years. And seeing someone like @jasonlk reinforce it is just next level. Took me a while but found Sam sharing this over 3 years ago https://t.co/13Vqgqt54I
@noahkagan I've only kinda-sorta did this and the impact has been insane.
It's made it so much easier to remember and recall the learnings, and now I spot examples of what I learnt out in the wild much more often.
I watched thousands of hours of @myfirstmilpod , then did it all again, because I wanted to organise @thesamparr and @ShaanVP's best tips into an entrepreneur’s cheat sheet for myself. This is a test to see if other’s would want it too. Check it out at https://t.co/0nSMuXve4q
4/4 Know there was a Naval-manack?! Why didn’t @EricJorgenson just call it that? Here’s the link https://t.co/U67wFvcEvU
The story of how @hughhowey became a self-published author makes me think he would also be a super successful entrepreneur too. Super inspiring hustle story
1/4 Love the in-depth author research in the latest @myfirstmilpod podcast with @thesamparr and @ShaanVP https://t.co/cmxzxUJshn. Here are my thoughts:
3/4 @JackCarrUSA's shameless product placement in his books is hilarious and also genius. 3 thoughts:
- can brands pay to be in his books?
- how much is he making off these affiliate links?
- making it simple to copy someone else’s setup is it’s own business idea
🗻 The reddit post on what it’s like to make it young is so insightful and such a good reminder to define your version of winning
🎇 When it comes to content, triggering emotion is more important than information
🔎 The best online reviews are just the best at SEO
Here are my favourite bits from the latest @myfirstmilpod with @thesamparr and @ShaanVP

📸 The VC hack for uncovering deal flow is genius. Brilliant example of why you should do things that don’t scale
🤬 Emotion is more powerful than information. All the backlash from Google's woke AI moment could be reframed as a lesson in creating content that triggers a reaction.
🧪 You can also test and validate an idea in a group chat — a la MFM’s new Friday Quickies format.
Here are the top 3 things I picked up from the latest @myfirstmilpod from @ShaanVP and @thesamparr:
👨🏭 Working on your product is more important than working on naming. Just look at Google Meet, formerly known as Google Duo, Google Hangouts, Google Plus, etc.
Play your own game
Don’t adopt other people’s goals.

Sell more value not more time
Saving time vs generating value. “Generate as much value as you can for the customer, then decide how you split it with them.”
