SaaSy marketing, edtech, future of work. Built @Foundr's school for entrepreneurs. Early @Skillshare team (scaled to 15M students).

@TeamYouTube Thanks for the reply! On this particular account there is no known Brand Account owner or manager, as the email domain originally administrating it was migrated to a new domain. So the channel is effectively "orphaned." We are in a support flow and they suggested messaging you..

[Zack Kinslow @zkinslow]

@TeamYouTube I'm having trouble regaining admin access to a brand channel that is disconnected from the original user email (long story). Can you help? One of our clients needs a video interview taken down, and we also need to update our rebranding. Thanks

From bootstrapped to 9 figure exit. Sometimes the "simplest" ideas are the biggest painkillers.

I remember when every agency had dedicated production artists who'd spend hours removing backgrounds...

[Ian Nuttall @iannuttall]

Back in 2019, a two-person team bootstrapped this "boring" app that simply removed the background from any image.

Scaled from 0 to 4,800 paying customers in 6 months.

Then 43k customers in 18 months.

Eventually sold to Canva for $100m! 🚀

If you are not terrified by the acceleration of the #ClimateCrisis, you are not paying attention

[Zack Kinslow @zkinslow]

@engers @farnamstreet YES, this is a good one

[Zack Kinslow @zkinslow]

Causes of bad decisions:

1. Assumptions based on small sample size
2. Wanting the world to work the way we want rather than the way it does
3. Conforming to expectations/authority/group (social default)
4. Blindness to large trends
5. Not asking, and then what?

Accessible, quality education shouldn't stop in college.

Companies who are willing to invest in training & development will win long term.

And workers who never stop learning will also win.

[Zack Kinslow @zkinslow]

We do have a major skills gap, leading to millions of square pegs trying to fit round holes.

I disagree about AI being the solution. It will worsen the problem and weaken our critical thinking skills.

Close the education gap!

If we spent half as much energy thinking about education reform as we do chatgpt prompts, we'd be much better off.

Answer: Have humans write it.

Very cool. Hopefully it frees up illustrators and photographers to focus on more creative work. And not just put them out of work.

Less than 168 hours since Photoshop dropped the new "Generative Fill" feature.

The demos that people are sharing are nuts.

7 jaw-dropping examples:

@iamshackelford Unpopular opinion: this can eventually lead to watered down creativity.

Too much deference without having the unique perspectives & cultures from outside our own bubbles.

As a recovering workaholic, I've been in that season!

Or maybe I'm just salty bc I want to be friends 🙃

Good thread

[All The Right Movies @ATRightMovies]

Ridley Scott’s swords-and-sandals classic GLADIATOR was released 23 years ago today. An enormous production full of star names, the making of story is as epic as the film itself.
