When I first started writing on Twitter 2 yrs ago... Never would I have imagined finding such a warm community that brought together so many people. I have immense gratitude toward everyone that I've met on this platform. This past week has been one of the many such cases <3
Linda Zhang@lindazhangau

Day 4 in SF producing a documentary on @majamediaco's essay "How to Enter Side Doors"🚪Some reflections: 1. felt so much aliveness talking to @nikhilville, @jestonlu and @ASalyers3 from @NotionHQ 's storytelling team. hearing people talk about their craft brings me joy 2. grit, optimism and whimsy are a lethal trifecta; all the storytellers/filmmakers/creatives who Maja and and I have met seem to have this in spades 3. i don't need a gym thanks to these SF hills. who needs Barry's when the pavement to Trader Joes has 40 degree elevation 4. my circadian rhythm has gone bye-bye. In Sydney, I go to bed at 9pm and I'm averaging 1am now 5. they stock Japanese Golden Curry cubes in the chinatown grocers, thank goodness 6. 30% of locals I meet know what TimTams are, 70% have no idea what I'm talking about 7. people here are so wonderfully helpful 8. braincell sound-boarding is my new love language. i am so grateful to my braincell friends. all of us need more than one brain to navigate our to-do lists 9. need to pay a visit to Best Buy to acquire a lens cleaner; i have dust in my camera lens 10. a girl in the queue at Walgreens asked the woman next to her if she could guess what her first name was, and it was the cutest thing ever

the world has so many smart people who never make something, not because they weren't smart enough, but because they weren't bold enough.

life update vlog from april 1st to may 1st: - came to SF and caught up with ppl from pixar, higgsfield, bytedance, comfyui and [redacted] - spent 2 weeks in LA briefly and saw how big production studios use AI in their workflows - finalized our new office space in sf (40,000 sqft!). rn we don’t even know what to make of the space yet (message us if you have ideas). - successfully avoided raising venture capital as much as possible (W) - made sure to hit the gym every single day (bulking is so damn hard) main pivot has been we cancelled the LA AI Film Festival and are now planning a big initiative that we’d be announcing soon. this would be a project that’d work between our sf, bangalore and tokyo office which is super exciting hey siri, play life is a highway from the movie “Cars” life is GOOD and TOUGH — i couldn’t for anything better

ask questions even if you have the answer. i'll give you an example: when i work with companies on video rollout strategy, most founders will begin the call telling me they want to maximize view count. which, yes, we can do easily. paid or not, we have ways to engineer that. but once you start asking deeper questions (what do you want to convert this engagement into?), you'll find that ~95% of clients actually want quality interactions: - commercial clients - vc interest - talent recruit (similarly, i used to think i wanted to maximize x following, but i think i really just want kind and techy/artsy friends :/) there's no such thing as dumb questions :)

You've heard of @zipline, but you probably don’t know how close they are to delivering in your neighborhood. On episode 73 of S3: see how the drone company that started by delivering blood in Rwanda is reinventing how anything gets delivered, almost instantly.

everyone talks about working for yourself, building your own startup, etc. but i am just so utterly grateful to be learning from someone who produces some of the most exquisite works i've seen & genuinely inspires the shit outta me every single day. probably the most intense person i've ever met ever, but he sure has taught me to fuck up a dozen times and pick myself up from shambles. thank you for your attention on this matter, that's all i wanted to say ok have a goodnight fam 👍

@bephrem i love the loneliness angle -- so under-explored, yet surprisingly pervasive across a city as dense as sf! the internet used to be a place for strangers to bond over their similarities. but the hype around social media is making it harder and harder for that to happen.

- pocket 3 can shoot at 4k 120fps, has great gimbal if you want to shoot on the go. my main issue is the gimbal neck being too fragile.need to put back into case after every use. > more beginner friendly, can start shooting immediately - sony zve10. i started with zv1 but fixed lens + smaller sensor. 4k 60fps is plenty though. but pretty shaky for vlogging. > can learn more from it if you have intentions of growing into a zve1 or fx3 one day (it can come in white i think it's super pretty) heard good things about canon m50 but don't know enough. canon's known for nice color grading for portraits though!

i'm a big fan of @relentless! a few things stand out to me: 1. quality of questions a reflection of (1) breadth of knowledge and (2) genuine curiosity. there's only so much you can prepare prior to recording, having these qualities allows you to ask nuanced and unique questions on the spot. 2. quality of visuals there's a noticeable difference in quality of production between his podcasts ~2 years ago vs most recent ones. before: podcast; now: visual essay. 3. his authenticity i remember a snippet from his podcast with @lulumeservey. tldr: q - how do you choose who to root for a - i root for you b/c you're authentic & doing work in world i want to see more of he comes across being great friends with these individuals prior to recording, which beats the strange hierarchy you see at times in podcasts. and also allows him to get the most insightful answers from someone. anything you want to add @ti_morse ? any decision(s) that put you on this trajectory of 'fanbase growth'?

Why do some podcasts get popular and others don’t? There’s a lot of tech podcasts with great guests that never took off. Consistency?
