@coreyhaley @TransistorFM Free podcasts will continue to be huge.

Spotify will introduce many people to podcasting for the first time, so their original (paywalled) content has a chance.

Other services (like Luminary) won't catch on.

@shl Sometimes, repeating yourself makes your communication better.

A lot of popular speeches ("I have a dream!") and stand-up comedy use this technique.

This might be my favorite Canadian short film of all time:

The accents, the personalities, the town, the rink; it's all perfect Canadiana 🍁.

@r00k Yup.

Giving advice is easy.

It's testing things out in real life that's hard.

@TalAdam DHH has said "in the first two years of Basecamp's development, he worked on it 10 hours per week."

I don't think sprinting really fast is necessarily the best strategy.

Consistent, meaningful progress is good. Too much sprinting can lead to burnout.

Interesting to be watching #microconf from afar.

You can really see when a point resonates.

This quote from @shl definitely struck a nerve:

"It doesn't matter how awesome your product is, the market you're in will determine most of your growth."

Love this bit in @siddharthkp's article:

"It feels great to be at the top of the mountain. But if you want to climb the next, higher, mountain, you have to come down from the peak you're already on."

A potential user who is overly difficult in the signup phase usually ends up being *incredibly* difficult once they become a customer.

It almost always leads to regret.

Difficult people don't stop being difficult once they sign up!

😭 Sad to be missing #microconf this year (one of my favorite confs).

Decided to sit this year out so I had time and energy to do some conferences in the podcasting space, and focus on @TransistorFM.

(But I've definitely got major FOMO right now)

BTW - this finding is surprising to me:

"One-third of U.S. consumers watch esports at least once a week β€” and 54% of Gen Z respondents do."

ONE-THIRD OF CONSUMERS WATH ESPORTS ONCE A WEEK?

Only 22% (62 million) listen to podcasts weekly.

This is why I'm bullish on Apple's new streaming service. If they can bundle everything together, in one attractive price, they'll have an edge over their competitors (Spotify, Netflix, etc...)

Competing with Netflix's original content will by tricky, but not impossible.
