Also wrote more about the decision here! TLDR: the most important skill for anyone who’s building something meaningful is the ability to tell compelling stories (and help others do the same). + podcasts are the most trustworthy medium to do that today! baernecessities.substack.com/p/why-im-betti…

Hi strangers... I wanted to share some job news! I joined @thursday_labs f/t as a Producer, working with @HurwitzJake + team to create podcasts. Sooo excited to build in startups again. Fun fact: I got the gig last yr via X from @s_afiaziz. Stay lurking my friends!

@jacksondahl You have the location locked down? Just need someone behind the camera ? Or looking for a shoot location too?

Short notice ask: need someone to run a podcast shoot on Thursday in LA. Fairly simple, ~3 hours. Let me know if that’s you or you know someone please!

@jacksondahl @HurwitzJake may be able to help or know someone who can??

@simonsarris We lost something by sending text messages and emails instead of letters and postcards. Reminds me of this from @phokarlsson henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/private-note…

There's a mild relief and a mild terror when you read old letters and novels

@simonsarris What does your writing process look like? How do you decide what to write (and maybe what not to write)? Biggest essay influences? love your writing! curious how it all came to be

my office hours are OPEN - what do you need feedback or advice on, what questions do you have, what secret trouble stirs thy breast

new project: cleo (kindle + llm) 📚 cleo is an ios app that pairs whatever book you're reading on kindle with an llm (o3) — ask questions, get recaps/summaries, or listen/discuss (think audiobooks but interactive). the llm has context on exactly where you are + the book contents. best part? no complex setup needed. just link your kindle account and that's it. it just works. reply / rt for testflight invite 👇

What will be the lasting image/images of the season?

gm #DevconBangkok people! i might be last-minute sending it down to Bangkok on Monday from Japan 👀 any old web3 frens gonna be there??

@johnhfio i would love to except if you’re traveling / digital nomading around the world, Instagram really is the best way to keep up with people. most international ppl opt to give their IG over Whatsapp… ive never had someone ask for Twitter handle (unless at crypto conference lol)

Instagram has one shotted the entire middle of the bell curve that makes up 98% of the population and they are completely oblivious to it.

@austin_rief if they want to produce founder-driven podcasts and content… @HurwitzJake with Thursday Labs

Who is the best B2B content marketing agency? One of my portfolio companies is looking to hire one.

Passkeys are coming to the @DIMO_Network Mobile app and more importantly, to the developer platform. Soon you'll be able to take your connected car to any app in a click, and developers can piggy back off this experience to enhance their own services. @rawitz.eth/one-click-login-to-your-cars-connectivity-introducing-dimos-new-mobile-app" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">paragraph.xyz/@rawitz.eth/on…

I just want to tweet out this C. S. Lewis quote every weekend

one of my strongest-held beliefs: as it becomes easier & quicker for anyone to go from 0 to 1, your safety net is *not* your product. it's your ability to *control the narrative* around your niche. & this narrative starts with high-quality, founder-driven content.

DIMO 🤜🤛 @0xPolygon In their latest blog, Polygon shares the ultimate explainer for DIMO. They break down open mobility 101, the founding story of the ecosystem, problems with the legacy auto industry, and the path to 1 million connected cars. 🛣️ polygon.technology/blog/the-road-…

F. Scott Fitzgerald gets it: x.com/DylanoA4/statu…

this is so true. the end of August is the start of a new school year for many, realization that the yr is 2/3 over, and the weather starts to cool down. so many of life's biggest transitions seem to come when Summer turns to Autumn.

A big reason I love ghostwriting for tech cos: You get paid to learn from some of the smartest people and companies in the world. It's a cheat code for practicing your craft + learning a ton along the way.

@jar3dwolf i believe there's a middle ground here -- just because you work remote, doesn't mean you lock yourself in your room everyday. company retreats, conferences, working at cafes / coworking spaces... all re-create that fun factor I think people are looking for in an office.

I used to think there's nothing worse than working in a cubicle. Realize now there's nothing worse than waking up everyday and sitting in a living room by yourself. Being "stuck in an office" isnt the problem. It's boring companies and boring teams solving boring problems. The only people who should work remote are parents and caretakers, people with disabilities, and occasional traveling to complement PTO. Everyone else should get out of the decaying comfort of their house, face reality, and be a human being. It will make you much happier in the long-term and I'm sure there's already studies coming out to prove this

I found myself in great agreement with the advice in this crisp essay on why you should quit your job, particularly a good job, and encourage productive leisure. palladiummag.com/2022/01/06/qui…
