The sign of being a great entrepreneur is not how good your ideas are.
It's how clever you can be about figuring out quick, cheap, and easy ways to try them.

I notice that founders pivot too early because the path is hard.
But remember that hard doesn't mean wrong.

We need a DFS olympics where you can win gold medals in stuff like LoL, MMA, Nascar, Tennis, etc. How does this not exist after 10+ years?

Now that “Marty Surpreme” has proven appetite for ping pong films (A24 biggest opening ever: $28m), a studio needs to greenlight a film about America’s most decorated table tennis Olympian (Lily Zhang)…and how her parents get a Gold medal for Asian parenting

‘MARTY SUPREME’ had the biggest opening ever for an A24 film, earning $28.3M domestically Read our review: bit.ly/MartyDF

Timothée Chalamet’s gripping new movie, ‘Marty Supreme,’ is earning rave reviews and plenty of Oscar buzz. But how’s the ping-pong?

15 years ago, some unexpected feedback changed the way I think about leadership and life and got me to take way more accountability.
Spoiler: The feedback was about being late for a meeting.

@CoachGoldsmith Thanks for continuing to share the wisdom. Your speech (and book) at an Inc 500 conference in the 2000s was a game changer. Have since recommended it to dozens of people.

You have listened. You have made your decision. Your direct report disagrees.
This is a moment every leader faces.
Your instinct will probably be to 'prove them wrong' or go into 'debate' mode'.
Don't.
You are the decision maker. It is your call. Do what you believe is right.
Great leadership doesn’t require victory in every conversation. It requires clarity, humility, and the courage to say:
“I respect your view. I’ve decided to go a different way. I want you to support us moving forward.”
That’s not weakness. That’s strength.
Life is good.

I can foresee a scenario where the major sports leagues themselves act as the streaming distributor, cutting out the middleman network entirely.
Thus, instead of brokering deals with legacy networks (NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox) and tech streamers (Google, Apple, Netflix, Amazon), the NFL/NBA/MLB itself handles broadcast distribution.
If the leagues sell off broadcast rights, by definition the networks believe they can make more money than the cost of the broadcast deal. Hence, the networks are a middleman.
It is easier and more convenient at the moment for leagues to sell broadcast rights, but long term owning the entire vertical may prove more lucrative.

Apple TV and MLS are ending their media rights deal three years early. As a result, the MLS Season Pass paywall will be removed & MLS will receive an extra $50M. But while this is being called a mutual decision, the details tell a different story. READ: huddleup.substack.com/p/the-real-rea…

Note to Table Tennis TV team (@TTTVplus), we might be onto something.
