The highest-odds game to play in CPG is to really, really, really figure out 1-2 sales channels.
Everything about them. The shopper, the logistics, the trade partner dynamics, all P&L implications.
THEN, and only THEN, build products that are a perfect fit for those channels (price pack architecture, callouts/hierarchy, branding, etc).
This is dramatically less romantic than the "just build a great product that you're passionate about!" approach, which was the path I pursued and still prefer.
But...again...if you're looking for the highest probability hand to play, anchor everything around specific, scalable channels.

1. food trackers mostly work by making u feel bad and bullying you to get to a goal, intuitive eating / body neutrality food app is great <3
2. heart rate and body temp data overrated. actual long term compliance w/ food tracking = far more important health data!

The sandal landscape is bleak. Y’all are recommending 2004 homeschooler shoes with a straight face!

For we are overgrown with information, decorative maybe, but useless in any constructive sense.
We must come down to earth from the clouds where we live in vagueness and experience the most real thing there is: material.

@ChewyYorkie @jaymart222 according to the article, it's down the street, only a few buildings down

@jaymart222 lol no one wants to give up a good thing, give me a break. Lord knows where the other building is located. I doubt it is in Gramercy.

Annie has enjoyed affordable housing for 50 years. Her family has benefited to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars from other people paying more to cover the difference in her reduced rent. A rent that isn’t tied to need but to the apartment unit based on when her family moved in.
Annie has benefited greatly from this whether she realizes it or not. Good for her. Now get out so someone else can live there instead of assuming the entitlement of owning a piece of property without actually paying for it.
The property owner is giving her a new apartment AT THE SAME RENT in another building.
This is irrational.

Annie Grossman is deciding whether to leave her $1,300 rent-stabilized two-bedroom in Gramercy, which holds five decades of family history — including two businesses and four marriages. curbed.com/article/holdou…

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Leverage Live is happening!
For 6 months I've been trying to answer the most important question in tech: what actually makes a company AI native?
So I'm bringing 50 founders + operators to NYC on June 3rd to figure it out.
We'll have a panel with @andrew__rea (founder of Taxwire $25M raised) and @bleviathan (Ramp) — two people letting AI agents touch real money. They'll talk about how you need to rebuild you company (culture, ops, and technology) from the ground up for AI agents.
Following the discussion we will have all the diet coke, booze, cured meats, and merch you could possibly desire on a Wednesday night. Attendance is completely free, with priority access given to paid subscribers of The Leverage. I can't wait to meet you all!!

No system in human history has allowed more people to sit in their garden making art than capitalism

I just really, really hate the concept of capitalism. I don’t want to work my job every day. I want to make art. I want to be in my garden. I want to feel something.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@jjvincent do you think people caught the frank sinatra reference? i think the diff is reporter didn't have access to inner circle a la Gay Talese

insanely stupid gimmick here - an interview with amodei that the kicker reveals is AI generated. honestly I've no idea what the argument is for this: it's not novel or entertaining and seems to piss off both readers and writers. baffling vanityfair.com/news/story/dar…

@jaketropolis key word is *unlimited*. also, being unlimited idea guy must be accompanied by relentless good cheer, even in the face of first 99 ideas flopping

Not a real job but this is a real skill. Was in class today, during a group discussion one student says to another "we should collaborate on a graphic novel! I have tons of ideas, I can write the story." and I ask "what sort of stories?" and she got embarrassed and upset

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

@EmilyGouldNYmag @BigMeanInternet movie tickets, games, concert tickets have all gone up in last 30 yrs, books are only entertainment that's gone down (inflation-adjusted). it's true actually, gotta raise prices
English
@BigMeanInternet (takeishly) publishers ought to have started pricing books higher a long time ago but nobody is ready for that conversation

No book is as expensive as a year's substack subscription; no writers produce a whole (good) book in one year.
Kyle Chayka@chaykak
for an author, the lifetime revenue of a single substack subscriber is probably multiple times higher than one book buyer

@yrechtman LOL a thread full of dads, eh? most work that exists is done by moms. #1 for me inventory management of pantry and fridge, recipe planning, kid's lunches.

Growing suspicion that there are vanishingly few use cases for consumer agents. People don’t do work in their personal lives. The only people who do are sf dorks using spreadsheets to plan trips to tahoe
