"Companies rarely fail because their initial assumptions are wrong. They die because they stay wrong for too long." ~ Twitter

Familiarity breeds trust faster than persuasion.

Never let an imperfect analogy rob you from a true idea.

Scarcity is a weak strategy when it isn't real or there isn't a business model to consistency support and manufacture it.

How much will humans matter in AI art and AI musicians? 1. People LOVE cartoon/comic books characters 2. These characters may have full TEAMS of people behind them at any given time instead of one person. This might sound like I'm saying the "person" behind it doesn't matter, but it's the opposite. Even with massive IPs like Marvel movies, it still comes down to the product that the PEOPLE behind it produced - and there's a clear difference when those people have a visionary leader (like Kanye or Steve Jobs) the impact on fandom changes versus when there isn't. So people will always matter in every version of this, whether it's an individual or a faceless entity behind it. There are just some versions where the fans might not be as attached to the actual humans behind the IP or not.

Leverage is a cheat code. Unlocks doors old you didn't know existed.

The truth is the worthy movements usually eventually get taken over by cynical groups who don’t care about legitimate equality. Instead they actually want to BE the oppressor. They use the word “progress” to represent their OWN version of a better world while ignoring the groups of people who feel oppressed by their version of “progress”.

PBnJ Reeses is by FAR the best @reeses since the regular Reeses...please don't mess this up.

Artists will hop in the comment section acting like another artist’s music is the biggest piece of trash in the world… But when you click their page and listen to that person’s music…🤔

Being a fan of someone who is smart, doesn't make YOU smart.

Being anti-establishment doesn’t make you a good person

Hip Hop has grown to the point where most Hip Hop consumers don't know what Hip Hop is about. Growth has it's pros and cons.

@AntiGroovy This isn't a debate

If you want points Harden if you want a 🏆 D Wade

@BrianZisook This one was gold

“Stay independent as long as you can.” MUST-WATCH interview with veteran manager Chris Anokute, who explains what you want in a record deal when you have leverage: • Master ownership • 10-year licensing reversion • 70/30 profit split (artist’s favor) • No “distribution fee”

@Sk8nSmk Glad to know the convo was helpful man

Had a Great Consultation Call with @BrandManSean today! Thank you for your time and wisdom sir 🙏

Don't tell me a character is supposed to be elite trained military/police/assassin/etc and have their behavior resemble a motivated civilian who got put in a bad position and hopes it over soon.

The only problem with Paradise is Xavier Collins doesn't act like the top agent for the president. His decision-making is bad and he's unwilling to make tough decisions. Sinatra should be gone. He would control everything. It's way higher risk to leave her.

@AMAZlNGNATURE Yo 😂

Meanwhile in Australia

A lot of people who are winning in music aren't long term thinkers. The truth is they got forced into decisions that now seem wise, because the alternative deals/paths were SO egregious that they actually didn't have a choice...and it worked out. But their mindset still limits them from being as far as they could be. (they just can't see it)

Kevin Durant was in DISBELIEF seeing the news of the trade…The NBA is insane. (h/t @adryanashton)
